A Few Random Bits
Fitness
The fitness drive is being complicated by my body being odd. You know the thing they tell you about how to weigh yourself at around the same time every day because otherwise you pick up diurnal variation, which can be as much as 2 lb. Make that 4 lb and that's what's entirely possible for me even if I weigh myself at the same time +/- half an hour. I have been assured that this is not a good thing by at least a couple of med students, but that's always been the way I've been.
Saw the Fast and the Furious 3 - Tokyo Drift.
Whoever told me Han was the best thing in it was so very right, either that or DK's paintjob or the car stunts. They were some lovely stunts.
I don't know if it's just because most of the other actors were not from the US, but the lead guy's accent stood out a mile. To the point of wondering if it's a put on accent. (Have looked it up. It's not. Even more of a shocker, that's Caleb from American Gothic!)
Also,
[spoilers] I wish to point out something that I shall refer to as the Toretto effect. It refers to the way that anything Vin Diesel says while playing Dom Toretto sounds like innuendo. And that this effect is doubled if it is dialogue about a male character. The one that really sealed it was, when he turns up at the end of the film and says that he'd raced against Han, and lead character dude goes 'I didn't think that Han was into American muscle cars', to which Dom replies 'He did when I knew him'. And it's like, there was no way that wasn't innuendo.
[/spoilers]
However, Tokyo Drift does break with the previous films in that its entirely possible for the plot to work without the assumption that the two lead male characters are romantically involved.
Brutal Legend rocks
I fear that should actually be 'rawks'. Very silly fun game, not the most user-friendly of playing systems but, as I say so very much fun and very clever.
I knew I recognised the new doctor from Being Human from somewhere
It's Cleopatra from Rome. She has a very distinctive voice, it was just odd seeing her in modern day clothing.
I'd love to be able to confirm my suspicion but that would involve the BBC actually putting up cast lists.
