Chaos

The movie. Wesley Snipes, Jason Statham. Ryan Phillippe. Surprisingly good, twisty, suspenseful and fun. Its blow shit up, with a plot that twist and turns all over the place.


We watched that, and the pilots for The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Picket Fences, and MacGyver last night.


Now we’re off to see Vantage Point.

Great Movie

So, we watched "Death at a Funeral" last night. Really fun movie, you have to see it. Alan Tyduk gave a wonderful performance.

Top Gear

Felling better still. just watched Top Gear, a wonderful British motoring show, and was amazed that the "Nissank" made it across the channel from Dover to France.


Also finished watching series 3 of Doctor who last night. Now we can watch Series 2 of Torchwood, without spoiling anything we’ve not seen.

More better

Feeling better still. Though it looks like I passed it on to Herself. :-( Not exactly what I wanted.


Anyway, we’ve had a nice quiet day watching the new Doctor Who with David Tennant, who we first saw in a Mrs. Bradley mystery. It also starred Peter Davison, who was the 4th Doctor, and is now "Dangerious" Davies, in "The Last Detective". British SF and British Mysteries are one of our things here. As a break we watched a bit of Midsomer Murders, another British mystery we love. John Nettles. Hmm.

Better

I’m feeling better. the Flu is mostly kicked, but now, I’m having a bit of sinus problems. My sinuses dried up, and the pressure in my head felt like my brain was being squeezed out through my tear duct. A bit of hot soup, a face full of steam, some pain meds, and lots of rest seemed to do the trick.


Anyway, I finished another few books recently, that I’ve not mentioned. First, "With the Lightnings" by David Drake. Not bad. A fun space opera romp. Second, is actually three books, "Crossover", "Breakaway", and "Killswitch" by Joel Sheapherd. All of which are a full throttle rush, in a cleaner, neater cyberpunk future.


That said, I’m now looking for new Military SF a la "Honor Harrington".


Suggestions?
