Another scorcher today. I suppose I really will have to get used to it! Hit IKEA today to view the 4th July weekend sale. Hummm, a little disappointing, even for the 'palace of tat' but the meatballs more than made up for it. A few stops on the way home and into the run up to bath and bed for the littl'un. Always nice to have a few routines to one's life, isn't it!
Against my better judgment, we gave 'Prime' a second chance and was glad we did. Great little film, albeit once the viewer has watched the first 20 minutes. The performances really warmed up, as did the script, the direction, the acting etc. etc. Really super little film. True, it's not the heaviest thing ever to have hit the screen but it was a nice story. MS & UT were outstanding, always affected, always true to each moment, always working off each other. A real joy to watch.
Link for toady...
Apparently a large chunk of space rock just missed the planet today. When I say "just missed", I mean 268,873 miles which is 'just missed' in space terms. Oh, it was also traveling at 39,000 mph! The funny thing is that while people are running around worried about their job and the state of things in general, filling their lives with 'unimportant' things, a large chunk of rock which they don't even know exists could wipe them and everything else out in a moment. They' won't get cell coverage or have the opportunity to drive their Escalade like a complete and utter dickhead then, that's for sure.
Australia's Prime Minister calls for Big Brother to be axed. Hear hear! Thank heavens someone has the sense to voice an opinion about the piece of crap which has appeared way too much over the years and around the world. In this case, it's because of an alleged sexual assault but how about killing it off because it's a pile of poo? If you watch this shite, you really need to get out more. Stop watching other people's (empty) lives and work at making something of your own.
The thing that really makes my blood boil is this...
Journalist David Willis is taking six months off from the BBC to try to make it as an actor in Hollywood. In this particular article, he's 'consulting' Ivana C. If this guy really thinks he's going to be able to do anything in 6 months, he's very, very sadly mistaken. Added to that, publisising his futile attempt not only belittles what the serious pro thesps are doing here, it encourages other ambitious but ultimately naive chumps to board the bus and head West for Hollywood not having the slightest clue what to do when they get here. The annoying thing is that he's actually the BBC's Los Angeles correspondent and really should know better...
