What's made your day that little bit better?

There IS actually a new SyFy film coming that is in similar territory:

SHARKNADO!

Sadly, the trailer over at SyFy's website seems to be unavailable, probably because I'm outside the US.

It's funny that it is the 2nd biggest street carnival in the UK: I've heard of Notting Hill but have never heard of your Bristol carnival!

Great day for it!

At my former address which was approximately a mile and a half from where I am now you could hear the thump and thrum of this festival, now I'm in the thick of it I'm being assaulted by multiple sound-systems from each way of the compass, a schmorgasboard of senses shattering sound. Fun at the moment but I suspect I'll be hitting a pub outside the area later on.

Writing this on my new iPad 4.

I just bought a new car. VW Polo, as before. Yay!

Thank God! Let's hope Andre stays away for a while now.

That's lovely and something to celebrate

p.s. I have never, not in real life or on screen ever seen a new born baby that looks "gorgeous". I guess this must be a female thing?

Καλή τύχη!

*Anything* would make today a little better [than yesterday], seeing I spend Saturday afternoon/night in bed being ill with migraine.

This morning, still wobbly, I ventured into town and (finally!) picked up the Inception 2-DVD (for £3, bargain). Not sure I feel well enough yet to watch it, haha!!

Also got a new Jack Johnson CD. Pleasantness garantueed. Oh... and the sun is out! What more does one want?

<s>

Inception was my first blu-ray, but the mix of the music may make it migraine-inducing rather than alleviating :mrgreen:

Still, I love that movie and score and should see it again soon.

I was listening to a radio program this morning. On Friday's this program, during the season, likes to call up gas stations in two cities where competing football teams are goign to play, and ask them four questions and which ever ctity has the most, wins. It's named "More-On Trivia" and you'd be shocked just how stupid people across the country are.

Anyway, completely out of the blue, but they got this guy on and asked him how he was doing this morning, and the guy exclaimed loudly:

"It's a beautiful day in Zamunda!!!"

What's made my day that little bit weirder

Found a dead common swift right outside my apartment door. Being a bird nutter, I found it truly puzzling that a dead swift would be found on the stairs in an apartment complex, with all windows closed and no where for a swift to hide. I decided to put it in a plastic bag, freeze it and take it to the zoological museum. I grabbed it with rubber gloves and felt rather stupid as it turned out the bird was stuffed. Someone had dropped a stuffed swift right outside my door. What are the odds? *sigh*

Piccy.

Awwww man!


That would have been so good in the old TRUE/FALSE thread along the lines of one I did about myself a few years ago, you know, 5 things about myself but only one is TRUE...which one?

Ah, yes, that would have been a good idea, Timmer. I'll just have to wait until the next freaky thing happens to me.

Anyway, the bird is gone. I rather fancied having that stuffed bird, but it would have been quite jerky to pinch it.




Perfect! Here's what you should do:

Step 1: Take picture Step 2: Upload to Failblog Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit

Watching various things on TV this evening & had half an hour spare in the schedules so switched over to watch a bit of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Luck meant that that half an hour included hearing "The Cloud", "V'Ger Flyover" & "The Force Field". Not much happened with the story but it was a great Goldsmith half-hour! Only downside was that the sound on this presentation was terrible.
