The Smokin’ Aces Assassin game on Second Life is great, if incredibly incredibly laggy, especially when you’ve not got superfast internets. And everyone else seems to have prim hair. Heh. I’ll probably take another stab at killing people tomorrow morning when it might be a bit better.

Or at least, it probably won’t be worse. Hopefully.

In other news, Oriental City hasn’t been demolished yet. They’re probably waiting till after the uberprofitable time of chinese new year.

In other other news… I should make a list of films I want to see/see again. Stuff like Total Recall and Starship Troopers and The Matrix and… other films. And then there’s that other group of films that I’ve only ever seen the same bit of over and over and over – like Blade Runner. And then all those films that it’s not even occurred to me to watch. Or the ones I meant to check out when I was reading that book on film and various concepts that they demonstrated while I was writing that essay on what kind of an afterlife an AI would have.

If you were a crayon, what colour would you be?

Things that vex me today mainly include the recurring “completely forgetting what I wanted to say”. Argh.

In other news, I’m glad I’ve got two days off now. Actually doing stuff at the weekend that isn’t vacuuming or food shopping takes up more energy somehow.

…

I still can’t remember what it was I was thinking about earlier and I suspect it was actually important this time. Hm.

This weekend I was in Birmingham.

On Friday… there was catching an only slightly delayed train, arriving at New Street station, hopping on a bus and… completely missing bethanthepurple. Oops. Then… there was randomly dropping in on sethi, who was suitably bewildered at me and bethanthepurple appearing at his doorstep. After that there was visiting yartek and watching the Fantastic Four, which is a GREAT film and full of hilarity. 😀

Saturday involved visiting the ZOO! With bethanthepurple and miss_corinne The highlight of which I think was seeing the maras which look a lot like large rabbits with little ears sitting down, but like someone has chopped the face off a bunny and spliced it onto a deer when standing up. And occasionally like a donkey. There were also goats, sheep, lynx, wallabies, owls, fish, snakes, lizards, rats, mice, lemurs, meerkats and many many other animals. Woo. Then there was more visiting of sethi and Lindsay and then Richard appeared and disappeared and appeared and disappeared and appeared and disappeared and so forth.

In the evening, yartek, bethanthepurple and x_equals_speed all magically appeared at the cinema and we saw “Smokin’ Aces” which is a GREAT film also. 😀 It has a whole bunch of people either trying to catch or kill this other guy and shooting and chainsaws and killing and violence and killing and hilarity and more shooting. It is a bit Lucky Number Slevinish but with more killing. Then it was back to yartek‘s where we watched pretty much all of another great terrible film, “Daredevil”.

Today… there was a-churching with ferrious and then eating of food and then coming back home. And… tomorrow I have the day off! 😀 And also Tuesday! 😀 Marvel at my cunning plan! 😀

Apocalypto was a rubbish film.

In other news, it was also a too long rubbish film. Even my mum, who was the one desperate to see it instead of Pan’s Labyrinth because she couldn’t be bothered with a film not in english, thought it was bad. And mildly annoyed that it too featured no english speaking.

Ooh, you’re a dark one. Sitting in the corner, singing to yourself, playing with matches and twitching. Most of the time you instinctively avoid company, and if you’re forced into close proximity, things do not go well. You can probably stop stabbing that teddybear now. It’s not going anywhere.
What’s your malfunction?
