medains and clotilde, I have set up a universal wish list. Which brings home to me that I really am, as my mum asserted when I was very small, a want-on-a-stick. Hmm...
The new sofa is now delivered and in the living-room! Yay! I can heartily recommend the glazier who took out the window for us and helped to shift the sofa around (the delivery guys buggered off sharpish) withravenlas. He's a very nice man! And didn't charge as much as he thought he would, as it didn't take him as long as he thought it would. The cups of tea I kept handing him, and the offer of toast, may have had something to do with it (I like to think so, anyway). The living room is almost completely tidy! Come visit now - this won't last out the week...
Yann's MERP game is, at long last, over. I don't particularly agree with how it ended and why - too deterministic for my rp tastes. Meh.
On Sunday I finally got the lawn mowed for the winter. I cycled round to the supermarkets and got some veg, some pickling vinegar, and a Times (for the free airmiles - I have around 54 - enough to get to Leeds *and back*!). I pickled some crushed garlic - my own take on the 'very lazy garlic'. Apparently it might go bright blue, but would still be edible if it did. Turquoise garlic! Mmm!medains came round, and at one point all three of us were sitting on the sofa playing computer games... Watched Notting Hill, and discovered that I, and other people, feel the need to say 'but I like that film' in an apologetic tone of voice. What films do you feel you have to apologize for liking?
Ta muchly for Terry for some Blackmore's Night - I'm looking forward to listening to that when I've finished recording a programme for my Dad.
I have to get my boots resoled this lunchtime. Meh. *shrug*

As a GM, he is trying to tell a story - sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. I rarely feel a sense of completion in those games, and thus I don't play them. (Not to say that there's anything wrong with playing like this, just not my cup of tea)
I don't apologise for liking anything... I like what I like! ;)

Date: 2004-12-06 01:51 pm (UTC)From:I am constantly amazed that Josie and the Pussycats (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0236348/) has been so consistently underrated, as it is one of the finest examples of thought-provoking contemporary cinema of recent years. Exceeding even the high bar set by its powerful forebears such as Charlie's Angels and Spiceworld: The Movie, Pussycats revels in the gleeful conceit of taking its own central parable wagging a lecturing finger against the dangers of corporate consumerism, and subverting it to cram in more product placements into the frame than have ever been seen on celluloid before or since, to the extent that it becomes a game for the viewer to play reminiscent of Greenaway's art house classic Drowning By Numbers. I strongly entreat all of you to invest in this vibrant, exuberant delight of a film - and furthermore, to purchase all the products made by the fine upstanding corporations who have chosen this masterpiece to affix their brand logos to.
Bob :)

[I have a colossal soft spot for this film, as the soundtrack includes things like KMFDM and Rammstein - how can you not like that? Some woman beating someone up to the sound of Juke Joint Jezebel - fantastic!]
