Pirate Radio Patent Dragon Is Now On The Air!

Aaaaand, we're back!

This isn't the official "means of connection" - not yet, anyway, but that's due back in operation soon - but Work provides me with a way to get back online, and I am at last taking advantage of it.

So what's the score, trav'llin' man...? On the whole, things have gone "okay",but that doesn't mean without incident. One room was completely set up wrong by the removal guys - who knew they could ask me, but didn't - and that incurred a bit of the kind of stress I had been hoping to avoid. Enough to fail Mission 101 Task 64? I don't rightly know at present, but I think I've kinda been absolved of all culpability...

Look, I'll just post the entries I'd written offline. There's a bit more detail there - oh, and a Green Lantern review! I'll not "back-date" them to fill the gap in my posting year, 'cause this week has been momentous, and rather needs to be signified in some way...

See you again shortly.

Dispatches From The Battlefield 16-19 June 2011

- 16th June 2011 -

An 0600 start, and a big, busy day. Barely enough time to think, let alone relax!

No rest for the wicked. Awake an hour before I needed to be, then back to "WIB" (Where I Began) for an all-out assault on the attic, where things - and memories - have been sequestered for decades. Big Bro needs to relocate his collection...

Oh (insert stream of particularly vivid profanity here).

Movie Review - GREEN LANTERN... Marvel have been dominating the superhero movie stakes these last few years, with only The Dark Knight appearing for "The Distinguished Competition" (as Stan Lee would put it). On Friday, DC went along the THOR route, and launched a property the general public might not be familiar with: Green Lantern...

( ...and this is how it goes - complete with SPOILERS... )

The Final Word... A solid beginning for a character with franchise potential. Maybe not as awe-inspiring as THOR, and the effects aren't always entirely up to the task, but a brave effort by DC to try and catch up in the superhero movie stakes. 8/10

Yesterday was the "day of rest". Today, reducing and rationalising the attic contents, and the last few things from "WIB". Plenty to do, some of it done - and more to come, but not tomorrow. Monday, I go back to work (for a day), and see what's happening - and maybe even get a 'net connection!

Highlight of the day - a proper cooked meal, and not the crap I've been eating the last few days. Even so, I'm certain I've lost some weight in the past week or so...
