Today I'm doing some temp work....as I have been for the last couple of months. Consequently the Elephant Orphanage master-piece is somewhat on the back burner as reality bites and it turns out the life of a penniless would-be author is not as romantic in reality as the notion might suggest. Temping is a drag. In some ways its not too bad; it gets me out of bed in the mornings, stopped me going stir crazy, and my temporary colleagues are good fun, but on the whole its a drag. Especially on a day like today when the rain is falling and clock ticking oh so slowly. I'd rather be anywhere else than here today. Literally anywhere. All of which reminds me of one of my favourite endings to a film. Its the final scene of Blazing Saddles when the Waco Kid and Jim's escapades are over, their work is done and they're wondering what to do next.Waco Kid - where you heading cowboy?
Jim - nowhere special.
Waco Kid - (pause)...nowhere special....(wistful sigh)....I always wanted to go there!
I know what he means. Whats your favourite ending to a film?
