Passing Thoughts

 

All the time, I see things about the place and think — I should write about that in my weblog. And then I forget them. So I won’t be mentioning any of those today.

  • The new Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trailer looks mighty fine. Well, except for the stupid flapping-up head-smacking things. I don’t know what they’re all about.
  • Having a lecturer faint mid-talk seems like a bit of fun, but later on, it’s hard to listen to them and not panic every time they stutter or pause.
  • Life sometimes drops things straight in your lap. Cheltenham truly is the most perfect place to live in the world. Well, alongside Banff obviously.
  • Wallace & Gromit looks good too. In a Wallace and Gromit kind of way. That Tom Baker fellow is everywhere these days.
  • I’ve missed the first two episodes of the actual Battlestar Galactica series. Watching TV on the TV is so impractical. Lost is looking up though. I’m starting to like some of the characters. Especially their ‘Spike’ character.
  • I’ve got a review for Constantine coming up. I’m sorry everything’s been so quiet. I’ve also got a review of Spy Lounge ready to roll with. Not from me, obviously. I’m considering having an official, Grapefruit-updating day of the week, so that I have a deadline to aim at. How does Wednesday sound?
  • I got new headphones! I’m now the proud owner of a stealthPod. There’s enough white headphones in the city to sink a ship. A very small ship, of course, but bigger than you might otherwise think.

  1. I remember the days when people commented on stuff I said.

  2. Those were the days, yeah…

    I saw somebody who looked much like you leaving a lecture in the physics building the other day.

    I called out “Tom! Is that you?”

    But they were either not you, or couldn’t hear me because of the headphones they were wearing…

    (Who fainted mid-talk? Anyone I know???)

  3. Hey Daniel! It could well have been me, I was wearing headphones and I’m doing Astro and Optics III in Hercus.

    It was an arts lecturer, so probably not. Very disturbing, we all thought she’d had a brain tumor or something.

    About time you posted here, anyhow!

  4. I’ve been waiting for you to blog about something I something to comment on.

    What ever happened to the days when you could download movie trailers and watch them at your leasure?

    These days you have to watch them streaming, AND you have to sit though an ad first.

  5. If you have Quicktime Pro you can save the trailers at apple.com/quicktime.
