Because it was on, I watched the american version of the ring last night. And to it's credit, it wasn't dire like I thought it would be. (how strongly I was convinced that sadako was in my house was my basic measure of goodness, and I was pretty certain that I'd see her every time I opened a door for a good few minutes.) The japanese version was ( Read more... )

On thursday I had an oddly good day. I found my watch and I watched the green wing special. Looking back two days later I'm sure there must be more to it than that but that's all I can remember, barring a warm fuzzy feeling.

The green wing special was really good, a nice mix of funny stuff and closure for the characters. And altogether a good

it's been a little while,  I was posting a few days ago, but the library version of IE (I can only assume they have their own special broken version, it's the only thing that can explain the buggyness and general craptastic performance [in addition to what I expect of IE]) interpreted the backspace key as a hotkey to go back.  And lose half an hour ( Read more... )

preordering ftw!  I have a wii, I could go on and on about it, but I won't.  I shall just say that it's incredibly shiny, and also tastes like chocolate.  The motion sensing and aiming thing seems to work. And zelda is, well zelda, if you liked OoT you'll like this. and if you didn't, you deserve to have parts of your body fed into a wood-chipper ( Read more... )

Today I made some new friends.  I was on the train, and some people invited me to play cards with them.  They had a large sandwich and there was a train in the way so we couldn't see the huge cheese company.  I had a much less boring train journey than usual, so thank you katie, steve and some russian girl who's name I didn't catch.  Fun times.

yesterday I went to see Casino Royale, and tried out this 'orange wednesday' malarky. I assumed getting something for nothing would be difficult to the point of impossible. But it was actually just a case of sending a text, then showing the reply to the cinema staff. (they had special orange wednesday machines for putting the number into)

This weekend at some point I shall be back in London, yay!

Yesterday I learned the value of misdirection when trying to hide stuff in a fridge.
Today I was kidnapped by hill people never to be seen again and it was the best day ever.

ok, I'm genuinly freaked out at this point. I've spent the last hour or two sitting around at a friends house talking about the occult, stuff that I genuinly don't believe in. It was odd to hear people I know, describe their experiences with otherworldly forces, they genuinly believed what they were saying, this wasn't a random crackpot guy on tv ( Read more... )

ok, on monday I have roughly an hours business in london. My mother is insisting I travel up for the day rather than delaying it, and providing my train fare ( Read more... )
