You may find it worthwhile going to see this film.

Under the Skin Genuinely startling and unnerving film starring Scarlett Johansson as an alien driving around Scotland in the winter in a van and a black wig, chatting up random blokes and taking them back to her lair for sinister purposes. Not particularly like any film I've ever seen. Very little dialogue and to an extent you don't really know what's going on and why. I found it really tense and Johansson pretty compelling and strange. One of the better films I've seen for a while.

Disappointing to hear that she's renouncing the $hutter$peed influence.

At least a couple of times today Michael Owen referred to Man City as 'United'. To be fair he was probably confused by them being shit.

Very predictably Lallana on the pitch + Sturridge in a goal-scoring position = goal. Surprising they didn't try that earlier really.

With you on that. It's really awkward. Coins go in my pocket, notes in my wallet, receipt in the bag. To be honest they should give me notes in one hand, coins in the other and wait to give me the receipt until after I've sorted all the change out. If they thrust everything into one hand then I usually take a really long time to sort everything out and everyone in the queue behind gets annoyed for having to wait a bit longer. But they all know it's the cashiers fault. And that I'm a badass.

Listening a lot to the new album by Angel Olsen. This is maybe the best tune from it. I like this video. I like everything about it.

The first Linda Perhacs album for 44 years is streaming here: http://www.npr.org/2014/02/23/279236090/first-listen-linda-perhacs-the-soul-of-all-natural-things?utm_source=music&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=20140223 Worth the wait I'd say.

I've really enjoyed the curling - definitely my favourite sport at the winter olympics. Hoping for some more cool finishes tomorrow. Just watched the end of the women's ice hockey final - pretty crazy turnaround.

Haven't had anything like that. My phone isn't a 4g one though, so maybe that's a factor.

A couple that I'm liking at the moment:

Have been impressed with Fulham's recent performances. They're definitely heading in the right direction and, oh... you're ahead of me. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26200035

Have also got a ticket. Looks like Aidan's the new Tom Weir.

Double luge is really quite strong in this regard:
