Catching up on stuff:
Thank goodness it’s cooled down a bit….
I’ve posted reviews of Minority Report and Open Secret in Opinion, and I should have at least one comic and two more book reviews up in the next day or so. How good am I?
Returning to the topic of the comics message boards I occasionally […]

I forgot to mention last night’s Six Feet Under, which continues to be one of the cleverest, most creative TV dramas I’ve ever seen. That it’s produced in America, where the control and restriction of the network system is notorious, it just shows the difference that the HBO approach makes.

Onwards and upwards(?) to the Big Brother final. Which I’ll keep brief(ish).
I was shocked that Jade came fourth - I’d got it in my head that it was going to come down to a Jade/Kate final two. I think she’s redeemed herself a lot in the last few weeks, by the way, and […]

I don’t know why I let myself get worked up by some of the things that I do. I know I shouldn’t; I know it’s bad for my blood pressure, temperament and general well-being, but I can’t help it sometimes. I was going to post about the Big Brother final last night (and […]
