A little bit of everything.
May. 5th, 2007 12:27 pmSpider-man 3 was... okay. I wasn't expecting to be overwhelmingly enamoured since I'm a Batman girl and always will be but I was at least hoping they'd have cracked the little problems that have always made me more apathethic towards the Spidey movies in general. For some of them they had -- I liked it more than the second one -- but there were whole new things to go 0_0 at. A couple of times I genuinely thought they'd jumped the shark, only for something shiny to distract me in the next five minutes. Also ( spoilers )
In short: enjoyable but not wonderful. Looking forward more to PotC 3 later this month.
In other Things of Fun (and sticking with my current Pegg-Frost-Wright obsession - Edgar Wright is adorable you know, especially when he throws his head back for his Evil Overlord Laugh) found this last night and watched it several times, marvelling more each time at just how off their faces they are on something, though Simon's waving a can of beer around which might be a clue. The first and second Cake Flushes are worth watching too, if just for the utter bizarrity but that they're in no way sober ( makes this one my favourite. )
Simon Pegg also wrote an interesting article on the differences (or not) between American and British humour, which is interesting to me because I always leaned toward the 'different type of humour' camp before. It's vaguely reassuring (especially when I affectionately wind friends up all the time and sometimes worry how it'll go with different cultural humours when I finally meet the Inmates) to know it'll probably translate pretty well. Mostly.
Beaker is looking less well by the day and I've lost hope of it being moving stress that'll wear off. Wondering what to do since I still can't quite work out what it is and I'm still useless with medicating fish. I'd also like to fix it sooner rather than later because Kermit is starting to go stir-crazy in the small tank but I don't want to put him back in the bigger one in case he catches whatever Beaker's got. Something to work on today.
Doctor Who is *finally* back on at 7pm. It's been ridiculous reading stuff where people reference its "Saturday 7pm" slot the last few weeks because it's been more of a half six or half seven or twenty-five minutes to infinity slot. Haven't decided if I'll watch the Joseph thing this week, since I'm still woeful over last week and I should catch up on work, given that the Badminton Horse Trials are on 'til 4:30pm so it's unlikely much work will be done until then.
In unrelated-to-anything news, finally bought Hal Duncan's Vellum last night. Figured I need inspiration this week and it sounded interesting. Hopefully it'll get here Monday or Tuesday so I have time to use it as inspiration. In the meantime I'm thinking I'll re-read some fic, starting with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seperis' Sleep While I Drive which is still my favourite fic ever written.
Think I've run out of things to make this A Stupidly Long Post. I'll probably be mortified and go back to cut everything when I see how much flist space it'll take up but maybe, just maybe, I've now said everything I can possibly ramble about and will do some work.
...Maybe.
