Recently this week:
Jul. 16th, 2008 02:18 amMy bike returned safe from university cycles, tuned up and raring to go.
Work continuing interesting and productive.
Failed to go to Magic prerelease event, but played magic at Alex's, which was fun: most credit goes to Alex for building the decks played.
Played bridge at Ralph's, and failed to bid two consecutive heart slams, but I think correctly.
Watched QI again, twice, which really is very funny, and educational in spirit, so I apologise for the criticisms when I first saw it being over-harsh.
Have downloaded most of Reboot ever from youtube, at low resolution, but enough to catch up and find out what happens after it fell from the air in UK terrestrial TV.
WatchedHitch Hancock, where Will Smith plays, rather well, someone failing to be a superhero. It wasn't one of my favourites, but it was good. The trailer sets it up as a "Hancock is a superhero, but rather than being a larger-than-life American Hero, is a drunken screw-up jerk" joke, which it is, but it doesn't just stop there. It's funny, but I was pleasantly surprised that it actually has interesting story. Many superhero stories oscillate randomly between "all-American hero" and "tortured angst"; Hancock actually shows someone kind of screwed up you can really believe.
In other news, "mare", "nightmare" and "mare (as in sea)" are all unrelated, (and so fair game for puns). "Phallus" and "fellatio" aren't either. Well, my friendslist probably knows all that, but spread the knowledge little by little.
