Watch, Listen, Read, Smile
Watch
I think I was one of the few people left on the plant who hadn't seen District 9 yet. And if you're also one of those few, I heartily recommend that you watch it forthwith. One of the best films I've seen in a long time and so well done. Innovative and gripping. One thing is for sure, I'll be on the lookout for anything with Neil Bloomkamp's name on it after this impressive debut.
Listen
You remember the death of my favorite gadget back in September. Since then I've tried to live an iPod-less existence. Which actually meant lugging my laptop around just so I could listen to music. Including some rather dodgy set the laptop on the front seat of the car and connect it to the car stereo shenanigans. (shudder).
Rejoice, for the circle of gadgets is now complete. I have a new trusty iPod. And it goes with me everywhere.
Read
I'm currently juggling two books. You know, as you do.
First up, Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. Some people love to lambaste Brown's writing style. And sure, he's not going to win any awards, but his books keep me entertained. And that's why I read books in the first place.
I'm also laughing and edumacating myself on the finer points of beer by reading The Naked Pint. A thoroughly entertaining read.
Smile
I love getting blast from the past photos. This one is a rather younger me posing (top row, third from the left) for the Cambridgeshire county Rubgy team many many moons ago. Nice facial expression Spencer.
Kim from Ilax Studio said that District 9. I have added it to my Netflix list, trying to head off all of the romantic comedies that my wife keeps adding ahead of my picks.
And that's quite the rugby pic. You ready to kick some arse.
Happy New Year to you.
oops.. I didn't finish my first sentence. Kim said that District 9 was one of her favorites this year.
marty... aha, you do the netflix pick rearranging too? I thought I was the only one that, er, prioritizes some of those romantic comedies a little further down the list ;-)
Had you just lost a game or were you being tough?
I was driving around yesterday marveling at how much cleaner my car is now that it is not covered in CDs...
Nice picture.
nat... that was a pre-game photo ;-)
kapgar... thanks. I, er, think.
District 9 was my favourite from 2009, they've cast Bloomkamp as 'Murdoch' in the A Team, that should be interesting.
spd... ooohh, I didn't know he was cast in the A-Team. That will be interesting.
