And, on a completely un-related subject…

… I just saw “Kill Bill” and “Dawn of the Dead”.
The first one is a fantastic anime-nerd fest, and Uma Thurman has never looked better. Also, it validates my theory that “The Passion of the Christ” should’ve been titled “The Gospel according to Tarantino”.
“Dawn..” is cool, in a “I haven’t watched a zombie flick since […]

So our Governor got judged yesterday…
April 30, 2004 | 2 Comments
Hey, everybody - James here, filling in for Jon.
I live in Brasília, capital of Brazil. Our city is a Federal Distric, which means basically it’s a city with the attributions of a State. Which is to explain why we have a Governor and not, say, a Mayor.
Said Governor, named Joaquim Roriz, stood trial yesterday evening, […]

Okay, I’m finally leaving the office.
Occasional stand-in blogger James may stop by, and I may post a couple of times while I’m away myself.
Have fun y’all.

Cat On The Prowl
April 27, 2004 | 1 Comment
As mentioned, Alison is looking after Dillon at the moment, and was rudely awoken yesterday by all of her not-inconsiderable cat weight landing unexpectedly on the bed at some ungodly hour.
Today’s update email under the subject line: “She shows no mercy towards the hand that feeds her”:
At 4.10 this morning we were playing “I know […]

Still Crazy After….
April 27, 2004 | Comments Off
Once again apologies for the lack of news round here, but the only thing I really have to talk about much is work, because that’s almost all I’ve got going on at the moment.
Couple of quick interludes: Went to see one of Underhand’s pre-Edinburgh nights on Saturday, and was suitably amused.
Took Dillon for a […]

Showing Off (II)

And on the subject of the widest possible audience, when I (eventually) got home last night, a package was waiting for me: a radically late Christmas present that I can wholeheartedly endorse for anyone with an interest in the male physique (so Darian again).
You know all of those terrible charity calendars that rugby clubs […]

Showing Off (I)

I’ve been meaning to offer congratulations to Darian on the release of his video (yes, *that* video), and note that even though Clone Zone on Old Compton Street no longer has a huge poster of him in their window, it’s good to see that he’s not afraid to make sure it’s seen by the widest […]

The Impossible Takes A Little Longer
April 22, 2004 | 1 Comment
So in the mail today I received an invitation to “join a group of senior business people for one of a series of innovative and practical seminars”. The title of these seminars, I kid you not, is “Delivering Impossible Performance”.
I’m not going - I already deliver that every day….

Full Of Sound
April 21, 2004 | Comments Off
Been meaning to mention this:
My stereo has started playing up recently. Specifically, whenever it’s first turned on, the volume resets to maximum. This has caused a couple of nasty shocks when I’ve forgotten that it’s started doing this and I’ve been momentarily deafened.
However, the new twist is that it’s begun to jack up […]

The End Of Angel
April 21, 2004 | 1 Comment
I haven’t seen *any* of Angel Season Five, as I don’t have access to Sky this year, though I’ve vaguely been following what’s going on from various sources. In that spirit, Ain’t It Cool is offering some allegedly solid spoilage for the last ever episode.
