General purpose update
I really must get round to updating this more often. Not quite sure what to add though. New Years day. That was fun. Not a lot happened really though, apart from my drinking too much. Also in the news, gravity continued to work.
Saw various friends in Bristol. There were too many groups though, and alas, I wasn't invited to the nymphomaniac party, so I had to go to the one Ruth invited me to. This meant I had to dash around a lot and drink in several places.
Somewhat upset about the poor West Pier in Brighton. Colapsing horribly. Probably a bad idea to build it out of iron.
Picked up issue 100 of SFX. Not quite sure why I still get it though. I seem to get bored with it rather too quickly, and don't have enough time to read it. Still, there's some interesting stuff, like the results of the readers favourite character poll. I think the writeup of each character was written by a woman. Lots of comments about tight trousers.... (Note to self - go shopping. where can I get tight trousers?) Aslo some comments about the ones that got away (a list of those with one vote, no votes, and surprisingly few votes). Captain Zep got a vote! I remember that! (vaguely).
Finally saw the Two Towers. I like Gimli! You can't beat a Dwarf with a battleaxe as lots of orcs discovered. (You can toss them, but not beat them). 'Course, Lord of the rings is not really a great starting point for a film. It's not divided into acts, and it doesn't follow a single character. And actually, that's a pretty good thing. It's so nice that we've got a film that actually dares to be different.
I keep looking at CG effects from a geek POV though. The Ents were pretty good when moving, but I think they should have CGI'd the entire forest. They seem to clash a bit.
Must buy some LotR stuff. I want Fellowship of the ring on DVD, but can't decide whether to get Region 1 (slightly more expensive, but does have the MTV spoof easter egg) or region 2.
