Film at Eleven
I watched Tube Tales which has been sitting on my TV for the last few months since I brought it on the strength of Amazon’s recommendation. The film is basically a collection of shorts all somehow related to travelling on the tube. Each segment has its own style ranging from the visually comedic to the …
Festivals Abound
I’ve just booked a full weekend ticker for the Leeds Festival. After last years experience I thought it would be worth getting the full weekend ticket. I’ll once again be taking advantage of the proximity to civilisation (and icklejo’s transport) to avoid the nasty bits of festival life and fully enjoy the music. I’m still …
The final installment
Have returned from the previously mentioned Marathon ‘O LARP, consumed curry, cleaned house a little and watched a rather plot-less distraction on DVD with Jo, Arwel and Andy. Maelstrom proved to be an entertaining affair. I didn’t really approach the weekend with much more of a plan than to survive with slightly more money than …
Not bendy enough!
I briefly activated my Biff Field last night. Whilst at Sam’s for the Wednesday Mealtm (enjoying a mighty fine pie I may add) I managed to fall up the stairs wrenching my back in the process. I wasn’t fully apparent until this morning until I tried to get up for my morning run and ended …
Harvesting Time…
It seems the week is flying by already. Last night I took advantage of a good spell of coding and celebrated by catching up with Lee at the local for “just the one”. I was pretty impressed we managed to get away with just three pints and a meal. Still I didn’t feel that guilty …
Hunting for reasons
I watched the film adaptation of Hunter.S.Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The film itself is typical surreal Terry Gilliam stuff as he re-creates the sights and sounds of Thompson’s massive drugs bender. Despite my rather liberal views I did find myself wondering how much of the portrayed trip was actually happened. It seemed …
Signs of things to come
After recovering from the aches and pains of the LARP weekend I decided to watch the George Lucas remake of his student film THX 1138. I wouldn’t exactly rate it as an good film, for starters it is far to slowly paced. However it did prove an interesting exercise in spotting visual cues that Lucas …
The Second Week ‘O LARP
This weekend was one of nostalgia as I went to Forever’s Destiny. FD is the current incarnation of Nothing Ventured, the club I first LARP’ed with all those years ago when I first came up to Manchester. I started a new character on Friday night and had a great dungeon. Although I died in the …
WikiSpam
Hmmm, it appears my Wiki got spammed. Not amused
