Post-Essay
I feel I should have started reading for my essay weeks ago – it would have been fascinating. Pity I only started yesterday and it was due in today. Lesson learnt*.
The new James Bond was really good, though if I hadn’t been told beforehand it’s supposed to be a “reboot” of the series, like Batman Begins was, I’d have potentially got confused. The film gets a positive vote from me, due to far fewer sex scenes/less graphic sex scenes than normal, plus being vaugely realistic. No super-villians plotting to take over the world with spaceships or lasers – just good old-fashioned middle-men funding terrorism.
Of course, if gritty violence and tense set-pieces aren’t your thing, it’s probably not for you. But then, Bond never would be. I’m coming round to actually like the whole franchise at the moment. I’ve never been such a fan of ridiculous, over-blown plots like the last few. This was more sophisticated. Not my ideal film, but then action never is.
The chocolate raisins were good.
Department social tonight, to which I am potentially wearing a kilt. That, or a pink hoodie. I may explain later, but I’m off to meet my cousins for coffee.
* Yeah, right.

LIAR!
Of course, you do have a whole other side of the family.

By “cousins” I meant John and Celia. It’s shorter than writing “cousin and cousin-in-law”.

Really, they didn’t tell me that. Gosh, terrible brother that he is.
