I was thinking about taking the Fyrrra link off of the top of the blog... I cancelled my SWG subscription a while back. I hadn't played it in days... I don't just neglect my blogging, you see, but all forms of computery entertainment. With the exception of Mr Payne I haven't done any real computing in ages. I've ignored e-mails (although my spam levels are increasing to an insane level), I haven't posted in roleplay stuff... about the only thing I've managed to find time for is one single web forum. Sad. And I've popped by my nation every few days to sort out their governmental problems.

I felt kind of narrative a while back, although now Ali's watching Dark City so I keep losing concentration. I'm weird about certain things. I have to pay complete attention to films, I can't do anything else while I watch them. Same with books. I can't have music on. I have to dedicate everything to imagining what's going on. And I have to listen to CD's at least once paying absolute attention to them. Is that strange?

Let me see... I'm waiting for my voluntary work guy to call me back. I phoned him and he said he would, but he hasn't yet. I can't do other things while I'm waiting for him to call, although it's getting a bit late now. That's another thing, I don't know if people have it, but while waiting for calls and things I can't relax. But I hated making the call in the first place, so...

I'm such a geek.

It was nice going home for the weekend. My brother invited us to go and watch some fireworks in Southend. They were good fireworks. Some of them were the display sort. It was more of an excuse to go there, though, really. And Rob moved the hard drive over from the old PC so that we could move Dad's data - things were much more complicated before CD-ROM's! So Dad's all sorted out now.

I have no idea if I'm making sense here.

Ah well.

We sat out in the garden Saturday night and watched the lunar eclipse. There was a moment when a very high, thin layer of cloud with a perfectly straight edge overlapped with the partially eclipsed moon... it was very pretty. And when it reached totality the moon was a strange orangey brown colour. Cool. :)

Oh, we went to see The Matrix Revolutions on Friday but it was... disappointing. I never found the films as amazing as most people, and the second film had some fairly boring long sequences (it started to be more art and shiny effects over content), and the third one, well, it took that a bit further still, I think.

I still wonder what was going on with certain things.

I can't help but feel a little cheated.

Boo hoo. :(

I have been mostly.... WATCHING (TV): neighbours (bbc 1) / WATCHING (CINEMA): the matrix revolutions / READING: wuthering heights (emily bronte); edge magazine
