Foreshadowing and Children of Men

Tomorrow, or rather today, is going to be a good, old-fashioned nasty day at work. All sort of shit is going to hit the roof and there will be no protection for me. Hmm.

I am watching Children of Men now, for the very first time and on HBO too. It is about life in a future London where women are no longer able to procreate, which mean that mankind is doomed. I don't think I will be able to finish it but I like the pre-apocalyptic setting of London where the streets are grimy, the people are grubby and the whole society is descending slowly into chaos. The plot is engaging and the acting (by Clive Owen and Julianne Moore no less) is first class. I wish tomorrow is a holiday so that I can stay up late to finish it.

I suddenly miss London. Even the stupid tourist thing like lining up at Buckingham Palace to see the changing of guard. Or walking around Platform 9 3/4 to look for a train to Hogwarts.
