lyoreHave to go to work tomorrow. Ughh. At least it'll be cool, I guess.
Been watching the Hornblower DVD's I bought my Dad for Christmas. Been I long time since I thought about that series - really liking it. It joins Lord of the Rings as one of the few movies/series I prefer to the original books. Unlike my less-than-love for the LotR books (which has everything to do with writing style), I think that the movies made the character of Hornblower a lot more accessible to the audience (plus, you know, more Archie, which is always good). I find Hornblower an interesting character in general - the contrast between his personal sense of honour and the more underhanded tactics he is willing take in warfare, such as sailing under false colours. Add in a superb cast, and I'm sold.
Must get around to getting my own copy, eventually. Oh, the brokeness of my life, which unfortunately does not look to improve with the new job, thanks to the rent. Ah well, such is life.
Oh, and our town had riots this weekend. Even made the national news. We're famous - go my town! (Heywolfwarrior, still coming to visit?) The way the cops had their own little setup - all chairs set out under a tent, complete with a stand for refreshments, made it look rather like a party. Which reminds me that I still haven't posted the picture of the town christmas tree, but that will have to wait until I get it off my father's computer.
Random Observation of the Day - Why can I sleep all day, but never at night? Employment really needs a 'nocturnal ' option.
