Some Thursday "ITEM!"s
15 Dec 2011 23:08ITEM! Ended up not going in to work today, 'cause by the time the meeting was over, it was, lunchtime included, pretty much too late for doing anything worthwhile, and the door was locked.
Managed to get some more Christmas shopping done instead.
ITEM! talking about the meeting: Yesssss - students are still bound by exam rules while the scripts are collected, and that means I can take no sh8 when they flout the instructions to "sit silently, facing the front". A little taste of payback for the noisy a-holes wandering down the road outside my bedroom window almost every night. All within reasonable limits, mind...
ITEM! Captain America co-creator Joe Simon died. Whenever creators pass away, you wonder whether they understood how many people loved their work, their creations - at least Cap got the movie he deserved, hopefully two if The Avengers rocks like it should.
ITEM! I see that Frozen Planet is getting the pre-Christmas push for its DVD-BluRay release. That was something that should have been awesome from start to finish - it looked GLORIOUS in High Definition, but boy did it peter out in the last two episodes. Sorry, but natural history shows about humans never quite grab the attention.
