Mar. 4th, 2012 12:48 pmSo, Friday, I wanted to go see a film, but I couldn't go and see any of the arty farty oh so serious mega wank (literally) fillums I was supposed to be seeing, because, for some reason, all the awarded films on the film festival circuit are only screening during the day for unemployed people (which says everything I've always suspected about arthouse wankers, as in get a haircut and get a real job, etc, etc, etc).
So, it was popcorn, popcorn, popcorn, and best on offer was a film featuring a former darling of difficult arty films, making some bold choices, shall we say, for his latest forays into the American entertainment industry. I swear, it was this or The Vow or some film with robots or vampires in it, lorlumme.

Nov. 22nd, 2010 10:50 pmThey played another White Collar ad on telly last night. Sorry, I'm not used to seeing ads for WC, so it's a novelty for me. This one was right in the middle of Maverick. Whoa, there, Neal, don't go messing with the Maverick boys, my impulsive young pup. Those Maverick boys are so wiley they could take Neal for everything he had and will ever have without even rising from the card table.
It's not dear little Neal's fault, of course, as he never had the words and wisdom of Pappy to guide him - grin. Still, it was cute to see all my favourite tv grifters in one place, so to speak. Well, they didn't run an ad for Leverage, but they should have.

It is ridiculously, unseasonably warm. This hot sultry wind blew in during the night and now it's pretty much summer. I guess winter is like so last week. Mind you, last Thurs was freezing.
Speaking of tropical, I'm now the proud owner of a mango tree. We've got it sitting beside the banana tree to see how it goes. I'm hoping to turn it into my tropical fruit section. Said mango tree was picked up in Cabramatta. Went on a day trip which involved poling about in exotica, getting ripped off mightily and noodles. In fact lunch was defiantly Python-esque when the maitre'd of the noodle emporium briskly informed me that the menu was off, luv, and there were only two dishes available: the chicken or beef. I went chicken pho and it was pretty darn good. I suspect he was sheilding our delicate red faced barbarian sensibilities, and if I were younger and hot blooded I'd have ordered the klingon dishes as a matter of honour, but I ain't, so I just ordered the chicken.

Sep. 26th, 2008 03:40 pm"the last ever episode of the old Dr Who. My career highlight is a line I had to say to Kate O’Mara, which was '30 seconds to computer achieving full power status mistress.' It's not considered the greatest part of the [Dr Who] canon, but I was, briefly, a pin up in a gay Dr Who fanzine, which I thought was quite close to the pinnacle of my career." - Samuel West, The Official London Theatre Guide
Oh Sam, don't ever change.
I seem to be being stalked by The Stranglers this week. First they were playing over the radio in the cafe last Fri when the Peanut Gallery stopped by on the way to the grower's market. Then they showed up digging in the trenches on Time Team. I know, wtf? But there they were. Boggle. It was on a Roman site outside Bath, near that white horse that's on the hill on the road down to Warminster. I've no idea why, but I was bemused.
