ITEM! I'm going with that epilogue I mentioned yesterday for ...Mane-of-Night: Dancers of Freeport, as a way of expanding what happens outside of our heroine's experience. I don't have my "master blueprint" for the whole run-up to *SPOILER?* WORLDS COLLIDE *END_SPOILER?* yet - but I can't really blame any of that on my usual weekend hassle, 'cause ( Read more... )

REDSKINS 2-0...

And for the rest of the evening, it's back to the bedroom and DAB radio for live coverage of Patriots-Chargers. This'll probably become a regular thing - I enjoyed Redskins-Giants last week (obviously).

So, How Was Your Day...? Surprisingly productive, actually, as far as my Mission 101. I have a plan in semi-motion for a ( Read more... )

This morning, and part of this afternoon was dry. The first period of rainlessness since Saturday, when it decided to pour non-stop. Hooray for The Great British Summer!

This is, of course, entirely predictable, as the rest of "The Market" rolled into town last night, and set up their stalls in the heart of town this morning...

Meanwhile... Last ( Read more... )

That's two house viewings done, and the latest... it feels better than the rest. A local family, with reasons to move to this area - just what I want to have living here, once The Move is done. Maybe this is "The One", and the additional viewings this weekend will move things along. I'm still not looking forward to "The Moment" - the closing of the ( Read more... )

Riiiiight.

Not an awful lot to say at present, as I'm just starting to "metabolise" the day. I'm just getting back into my stride, now that the festive period is over - technically, it was over and done last night, and who really celebrates New Year's Day? Not that you can't - if you, dear reader, actually do, then that's cool ( Read more... )

Bit sneaky, this entry, as it covers me until next year *grins*, but yesterday, I actually managed to put a dent in a problematic Mission 101 Task, and chalk up another movie for28 Watch one "classic" film for each month of my Mission (10/33)
namely From Here To Eternity (1953). So many of the movies that fit my criteria are either cowboy movies ( ( Read more... )

And A Merry Christmas, One And All...

I almost threw up my chocolate Santa just now - a Butlin's holiday camp advert using "Dust In The Wind" as its soundtrack??? Is NOTHING sacred...?

Meanwhile... Yeah, my DVR is a splendid piece of equipment, managing to screw up reception and bugger up my plans to record a bunch of classic movies for my Task28 ( Read more... )

Hey, here's a task I haven't even looked at previously...62 - Totally revise my blog template
- so now, I've gone ahead and switched templates! First impressions are fairly positive, although this isn't entirely what I'm looking for (a customer header image and more control over the colours would be welcome for a start) - even so, can I perhaps ( Read more... )

CRAP. I've been desperately searching the schedules for "classic movies" to watch for one of my Mission 101 tasks, and this week, I found one - only to completely miss it last night.

That's it - I need a DigitalVideoRecorder. I'm so damned sick of missing what little TV is worth watching, such as the Sunday Night Football, for example, and all ( Read more... )

Meh... nothing much to report. Was trying to watch a "classic" - This Sporting Life - but I'm falling asleep in my chair (again). "Classic" seems to mean "working class misery", and it's simply not grabbing me, no matter what Barry "Britain's Greatest Film Critic" Norman says.

Rather glad I changed my Mission 101 "classic movie a month" task ( Read more... )
