Hello all

well SpaceshipOne made it and is now (and forever) the first privately funded manned space flight. Not without "glitches" (in inverted commas due to subjectivity of term being almost as vague as "torture" at the moment)

Yesterday was a holiday (some boat festival with dragons or something) and I had planned 1/2 a day of light work followed by 1/2 a day of computer games and bugging the cats. In the morning, I decided to flip my plan around and fired up Knights of the Old Republic. 12 hours later...

Having decided that work could wait, rented TxCSM (the remake) on DVD. Dave had mentioned a unique camera technique, which was duly noted, as was one of the best ever gratuitous wet tee shirt shot and the missed opportunity for the best ever gratuitous erect nipple shot 5 minutes later. Other than that, not very good, really. Roughly 4 scary moments, far too much footage of leatherface and several missed opportunities to scare the crap out of me. Never saw the original, but suspect this is a little like remaking Dangerous liaisons with teenagers (easy on the eye, heavy on the conscience)

Back to work today, a short week culminating in either sailing or mountainbiking weekend. Although KotOR is calling...
