I’ve just watched Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The Directors Edition with the full commentary on. Just a little geeky. It’s not bad I didn’t notice all that much in the new edition, a few bits and pieces here and there but nothing really major. Commentary was ok, I would have rather that they actually have the 5 people or so in one room talking. Cutting the tracks together leads to very disjointed listening. Still some interesting stuff on it and well worth the time.
I had some paperwork I meant to look over before tomorrow. I never got around to it. I shall have to do that sometime early tomorrow. The rest of my team are back from holidays, so tomorrow morning will be just catch-up stuff I guess.
Found out that the HST book I planned on reading; The Great Shark Hunt is a collection of short pieces and extracts. This works well in this case as it means I can read something else alongside it. I can’t read two books at once. Finish (or rarely give up) one and then move on. I don’t know why but I was reading some late 90’s Superman reboot alongside it and umm well.
I’ve had an urge to read some more Cerebus, I’m not certain I ever finished book 2 and it is calling out to me. I also plan on giving the first two volumes of Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles a final shot and see if it does anything for me this time around.
This week shall be a quiet week. I think I’m going to see a gig on Wednesday with a few of the guys from work. Other than that, I have nothing planned. This month is shaping up to be majorly budget month so that’s one added bonus to take it easy. I spent more last night than I had planned to. Dinner, drinks and a movie with popcorn, etc. is not cheap.
Internet connection appears to be well fucked tonight, I’ve had to disconnect and reconnect several times so far and it really doesn’t seem to like bringing up websites which I know are not offline. Fucker, I know your lying to me about sites being not found.
