Went for a walk down the Southbank with my brother Declan this morning, and popped into the Eyestorm art gallery to see a Willard Wigan exhibition. It's amazing stuff -- HIGHLY recommended if you're in the area!! It's next to and slightly behind the Tate Modern. The exhibition hasn't been greatly publicised by the gallery, which is a shame, but Willard's going to be on This Morning on TV on Thursday, and I think the exhibition will be featured in some of the UK papers and magazines during the next week, so hopefully that will let more people know that it's on. Unfortunately the gallery isn't open at weekends (doh!!!) but if you can get along on a weekday you won't be disappointed! For those who haven't yet been introduced to the wonders of WW, click here for a taste: WILLARD WIGAN SITE But nothing can actually compare with seeing one of his pieces in the flesh and wondering how the hell anybody could sculpt on such a tiny scale.

Went to see a play called "Emperor Jones" at the National at lunchtime. An early Eugene O'Neill play, it's a hard-hitting piece about the abuse of power. An ex-prisoner becomes ruler of an unnamed country, but is undone by his quest for power. Not a brilliant play in my view, but it got more mesmeric as it went on, and the acting was first-rate. Sets were fab too, as one would expect from the almost always A1 National.

Visited my grand-aunt Nora and her hubby Davey after the play, then did some bits and pieces back at my flat in the evening. Then I went with Declan and his wife Emma to the cinema to see "Superbad". It was a bit too long, but I haven't laughed and grinned that much during a film in a LONG time!!! At its best it's absolutely first-rate, a teen comedy that captures the carnal tunnel-vision of teenage boys, but which captures their other emotions too. If only all films were this funny and this spot-on. If you're of an age to watch it, don't miss it!!!! This reminded me of my reaction to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" when I first saw it as a teenager 20 years ago. Fab!!!!!
