shove it up your RSS

Still here, still here and feeling endlessly guilty about lack of updates and posts and blah and hah. but my Powerbook's still dead and posting is somehow terribly tedious without it. I've been forced back in to the fetid clutches of microsoft. Big clunky PC. Oh it's slow. Oh it crashes. Oh the colour is so beige.

Anyhew.

My supervisor has gone mad. He never was especially sane, but he's wa-heeey behind on his preparation for teaching and is taking out his stress on the 3 of us in the lab. It's better now Miriam's back from America, because most of the grr was falling about my small (but beautifully formed) ears. Now we all get a go. Just looking at him at the moment makes me want to stab him in the neck with a pencil.

Oh, oh. If you're wondering, never ever bother with this film. It is pants. Ignore the positive reviews on that there page. Tis boring.

So, there are two pieces of news which are important:
1) I want (and mean to shortly obtain) a Full English Breakfast
and
2) another chumley of mine enters blogspace. Yey. Salute and read. Much wry amusement will doubtless follow.

Right, on with breakfast plans... then discriminant analysis. Hoorah!

Loving the PhD.
(hmm)

Shame about the movie. Was going to have a look-see soon enough. I like what imdb had to say about it though:

"The role of Bart was originally written for Albert Finney, who dropped out to do Big Fish"

... when he discovered they were changing the name from Unleashed to Danny the Dog.

"Other actors who were offered the role were Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, and Brian Cox who had all turned it down"

... when they discovered they were auditioning for a movie called Danny the Dog.

"Morgan Freeman's character Sam was at first not blind at all. After hearing from a piano school for the blind (with a very high reputation, and where the scholars developed their hearing), Freeman had the idea of making his character blind because like this it is easier for Sam to "see" the child in Jet Li's character, and not the brutal killer."

... I've got nothing. Seriously, who makes this stuff up?!
