Two things are making me feel a bit strange this weekend. First of all, I've been doing work. Pretty much all the time. I have to hand my GIS project in on Friday, so I thought I'd try to get it all written up. As I suspected, I've found some things that I'm going to have to check on the computer at uni. Because I don't have the GIS software here. Annoyingly. My name's on the list, so I'll probably get my hands on the CD-ROMs when the deadline's gone. Boo! Boo!
Obviously I didn't work during the Grand Prix qualifying or indeed the race, but I haven't done anything else, really. Hmm.
The more work I do on this GIS project, the more I feel like it's awful. I suppose I don't have the information to do great analyses, but it annoys me that I know the things I'm churning out are pretty pointless. For all I know I'm not really doing them right, either. I hate the suspense. I just want to get it all over with, now. :(
It kind of depends what the point of the project is. I mean, if it's just to show that I know how GIS works, and how to do simple analyses, I might do alright. If it's supposed to come to exciting new archaeological conclusions, I might be in trouble. Ah well...
The only other thing I did was go to the cinema with Mark. He's already seen it (seems like everyone has), but he accompanied me to see X-Men 2. I feel like I want to refuse to call it X-2, because I'm not really sure why it's called that. I mean, the first one wasn't called X, was it? Because that'd be stupid. They could have called it X-1, I suppose, because it was clear there was going to be another one.
Anyway, I have to admit that I really liked it! I didn't really like the first one, but this one was action packed, shiny, and the plot was pretty interesting. Plus it had... some people... in it.
Ha, I'm so transparent.
Okay, well, all the way through I was thinking, "That has to be Alan Cumming, right?". Nightcrawler, I mean. The blue makeup threw me off the scent a bit, but... wow. I love that guy. I loved him in Goldeneye. He was Boris. You know, "I am invincible!!!". If you don't know from that you never will. Heh... He's so cool.
Ha, his website is amusing. "Please remember not to try anything Nightcrawler does at home." Wise words, Alan, wise words. ;)
And then I was distracted by Stargate actors. Okay, so there were some obvious ones, but still. The first one I saw was Katie Stuart. You didn't actually see her much, so owning up to the fact I spotted her is probably really obsessive. From a Stargate point of view. She was Kitty Pryde. You saw her running through walls in the school. And if you're wondering who she was in Stargate, you should be ashamed of yourself! Only kidding.
I'm not funny tonight, am I? If I ever am. I think the excess work thing has totally killed my brain.
I mean, have I already said that? I don't know. Because my brain is dead. :p
She was Cassandra. The first one. Not the one played by the girl from Bane.
Anyway... okay, more obvious Stargate actor... Peter Wingfield! Who, of course, played Tanith/Hebron in Stargate. And he had lines in X-Men 2. Wow.
And although I knew I'd seen her before, I didn't figure it out whilst in the cinema, but Bobby's mum was Jill Teed (Yolanda Reese/Stacy Monroe in Wormhole X-Treme!). It was annoying me where I'd seen her before. Ha.
Looking at the IMDb there are plenty more SG actors that I didn't spot. Of course, anyone who did spot them all should probably seek psychiatric help.
Here's a test. Just in case you're worried.
Did you spot:
- Colin Lawrence? (Sergeant/Major Warren)
- Aaron Douglas? (Mo'ac)
- Steve Bacic? (Major/Colonel Coburn)
- Michael Simms? (Secretary of Defence Arthur Simms
- Roger R Cross? (Lieutenant/Captain Connor)
...and so on...
Those are the only names I recognise, but let's face it, this stuff happens when you film things in Vancouver. There are only so many actors. ;)
Was there anything else I wanted to say?
Can't think of anything.
I'll be heading off, then.
Bye!
I have been mostly... WATCHING (CINEMA): x-men 2 / WATCHING (TV): neighbours (bbc 1); spin city (paramount comedy); austrian grand prix (itv) / READING: edge magazine / LISTENING: the things (audio bullys); diamonds and guns (transplants); everybody in the morning (lockdown project)
