Free Music: Requiem For A Dream (Full Orchestral Version) by Clint Mansell
Quick note about the song - it's one of my favourite modern classical pieces. For me, it's just an epic piece of music, this version especially. Plus I love how dark and brooding it is. Blame "Pop Star To Opera Star" for getting me back into classical music...
Well, I had a fun start to the shift. Crackbaby and Mrs DJ were in, and The Bombshell still wasn't there at 11pm. So, I got the pleasure of Crackbaby slurring at me "What if he don't come in? What you gonna do? Ain't calling me, I'm gonna be drunk, aight." Going to be? He sounded absolutely smashed as it was. But then this is the guy who thinks that a broken hand is "pretty cool". Idiot. Anyway, so after 10 minutes of waiting and panicking, The Bombshell drove across the forecourt at about 40mph and almost through the front of the store. Unfortunately for him, Mrs DJ had already called Queen Chav and told her that The Bombshell was missing in action. He ran in, clocked in, and when Mrs DJ asked where he had been, he yelled "I am late, so f*cking what?" Nice attitude. I was told to f*ck off when I joking said he couldn't give me any shit tonight.
And that's about it for work news. It's been a slow night. I spent the evening watching a film called Ben X. Amazing film. It more or less mirrors my life at school. Autistic boy with no friends, gets bullied by the other kids there, and eventually gets force given an ecstasy pill by them. I haven't seen the rest yet, but the trashing and breaking of stuff, that mirrors me. And the bulllying. Fortunately not the force being given drugs. And unfortunately not the supportive teachers. I think the ending is going to be a shocker. It's in Dutch or Swedish, not sure which, certainly a language which sounds like that with English subtitles. And I discovered a new, somewhat shocking ability. I was watching the film, reading the subtitles, and about half an hour into the film I realised something - I was hearing the subtitles in the actor's voices. I suppose it makes sense, after all reading a book makes a sort of DVD in my head effect, why not other forms of text and media with similar effect?
