Stuff and Nonsense

Things to do in England...

Hey the sun is shining!

First sun I've seen since leaving Orlando like last Thursday. Am stuck on a PC in a cold bedroom in darkest Staffordshire trying to keep this blog thing up to date.

So, you may ask, what have I been up to?

Well seeing a lot of the kids which is very nice - I think Art has missed me on my transatlantic jaunt and so I am doing my best to try and keep him entertained - John however - while he probably has missed me is in that Im 18 and up to my neck in exams and am too tired to do anything but sleep phase of his life. However we have had some fun moments.

John bought some movies that we have sat and watched. Monday night we watched Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang which was rated 15. Now this movie has caught my attention. It opened in the UK about 5-6 months ago to rave reviews in all the press and then actually made it into likee 4 cinemas. Certainly nothing within driving distance of the-house-where-we-lived. It was written and direted by Shane Black a Holiwood hot-shot responsible for some fantastic scripts. The original Lethal Weapon movie and another great but underated movie The Long Kiss Goodnight - actually checking IMDB he appears to have credits for all the Lethal Weapon movies and The Last Boy Scout.

But I digress. It also had the slight hurdle of have not only Robert Downey Jr but also Val Kilmer - who haven't exactly shone in movies recently - but they were fantastic. The script is great and the plot twists and turns like a twisty turny thing. I won't say anything else as I don't want to spoil it for anyone but it is a GREAT movie.

I have things to do - book flights back to the US - is one. But I also have to liase with the crew over at the Sondheim Society as I have voluntered to set the magazine for them. This I am doing and then sending over the finished PDF or putting it up on our server for them to download. I think this is what the meeting is about - to decide how we accomplish this.

I also have to see my accountant. Sign things and things. So that's on the list.

Want to go visit my sister and go see Rog and Caroline. And have to arrange a visit with David Morley to give him some of his stuff I have been keeping for him and there are a pile of 8 inch disks for his Fairlight that he needs to gather up at some point too.

OK gonna go rock...
