Good afternoon and bad luck
Um, so yesterday I became slightly detached from life.
I installed a game called Rogue Spear and went round shooting terrorists (on purpose) and hostages (by accident). I think I can defend my actions, because in a way I'm in a lull between pieces of work at the moment, whereas I'll probably be working all over Easter, so I won't have a proper holiday in which I can justify playing games, so I might as well lapse now. That sound right? :)
I also watched some random TV. Harry Hill's TV Burp is hilarious (he finds funny bits from the-week-before-the-last-weekend's[1] TV and adds funny commentary, etc.), even if the man himself is rather annoying. Dancing on Ice featured some cheating bits (people suspended on string doesn't mean they're any good at skating even if you already know they are!). Channel 5's Movie Lounge is intolerably boring and awful, though the bit where Brian Sewell reviewed the DVD of Zorro was a bit funny in the same way that TV Burp is. There was also Inspector Morse, featuring a very young and nasty Michael Kitchen - I'm so used to him being lovely as Foyle that I'd forgotten how well he does nasty (in e.g. Kidnapped and The Hanging Gale).
Today there was a reading of papers. I decided I *am* going to write my novel! And I read Joss Whedon's thing on Brigadoon where he said how much he loved it (I think I should see it, though I detest all musicals except The Sound of Music and Calamity Jane and singing episodes of Buffy and Xena).
While I sit here spodding, I also have Good Night and Good Luck website playing me gentle jazz music. The worst thing is that it plays the same tune over and over again, so leading the page open for more than half an hour may lead to putting a sledgehammer tomahawk (hey, I have one to hand!) through my shiny flatscreen. *closes window*
Speaking of George Clooney, I sure hope he wins Oscars tonight. I reckon Joaquin Phoenix might sneak in with the Best Actor Oscar too - I'm not sure I like the look of Capote... Anyway, I wish they were showing it on terrestrial TV :(
