Face Melting!

3:03 pm on the 10th of February, 2004

I went to see this last night, the first film I’ve seen in ages. It was really good and even if you think you despise Jack Black I would still say you should see it because, well, because I liked it. OK, so it’s not the best arguement but I’m not a film critic. It had a few good jokes, some good other funny bits, a decent story and wisely side-stepped the possibility of a romantic involvement.

I still haven’t seen Touching the Void though.

taking things literally

It’s something that one day will get me into trouble I’m sure. I can’t help but take people completely literally.

Whenver I hear a news story about a tragic death or similar I find it very difficult not to take the news reader literally when they say ‘Mrs Jones lost her husband in a car crash…’ and always I reply something along the lines of ‘how very careless of her’.

Anyway, this seems to be what has happenned in Russia :

Guardian Unlimited | World Latest | Russian Presidential Candidate Missing

Didn’t Austrailia misplace a president at some point as well?

Oh, and a warning, if you ever see me after I’ve sat an exam, don’t ever ask how I found it because you WILL get the response ‘It was just sitting on the desk when I walked in to the hall.’

Just one of the bits I liked was in the inventios section: “The Automatic Potato peeler. Invented in 1959 by Italian immigrant Luigi Giavanni … Luigi can still be found serving pizza and chips in his restaurant with his remaining hand.”

I just got this error message after posting the last entry:

Ping ‘http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2′ failed: Ping error: Thanks for the ping, however we can only accept one ping every half-hour. It’s cool that you’re updating so often, however, if I may be so bold as to offer some advice — take a break, you’ll enjoy life more.

It’s a bit cheeky I think so I’m going to just ignore it and post right back at it!

to take part or not?
