Sunlight slinks through the office window, dappled by the autumnal trees swaying gently in the breeze. It falls onto a computer monitor, in front of which sits a diminutive, and slightly bored computer consultant, busily tapping away at a surprisingly quiet keyboard. Silence pervades the office, as the other members of the team sit immersed in whatever it is they are doing. A silence broken only by the occasional click of a mouse, and squeak of a chair. The consultant checks his watch; nearly lunchtime. He wonders what delights the restaurant has on offer today.
OK, so it’s been a dull week. I just thought I’d pad things out a bit. Work is plodding along, as is life generally. Jen arrives in less than two weeks, and then it’s party time! So, I’m busy getting the house in order, making it relatively tidy and neat.
Saw some more good films this week.
Leaving Normal is a (excuse the cliche) bittersweet comedy drama, about two out of luck women, travelling to Alaska. Meg Tilley plays a brilliant character that I would describe as a female version of Northern Exposure’s Ed. Stunning scenery too, but I can never get enough of Alaska.
The Usual Suspects, shown in widescreen (thanks C4!), is a brilliant crime drama, with a very twisty plot, some superb locations, and impressive acting performances.
I’m in the middle of writing a Winnie the Pooh quiz for next Monday (9th), should be a bit of fun.
