Too many films in close succession
Tonight (well, Monday night) I did see a film called Saw, which I enjoyed, not least because it featured Ben from Lost. I followed this film with 'Children of Men', which annoyed me. It annoyed me on many levels and so I began to wonder whether it was the fact that I had just seen a film that night that meant the second film was so annoying or whether it was just an annoying film. Let me explain: when your car windscreen shatters into hundreds of pieces, you don't expect it to get magically replaced without the assitance of some kind of car glazier or whatever. And also . . . even if I had never rowed a boat before, I would assume that a rowing boat just doesn't stop because one of the passengers shouts out, "Oh look, the buoy!" . . . and also, if you've just given birth to a baby in an environment with limited child-care facilities, how about doing a bit of breast-feeding, maybe? Just an idea. So, yes, the film annoyed me. I couldn't take it seriously.

The web-bots strike
Today I had another day off work on account of left leg requiring further rest. I've tried sitting down at a desk (as I would at work) for periods of time, but the pain/discomfort gets too much after 20/30 minutes, and I have to go and straighten leg again and sit differently somewhere else. Hmmmm. So. As may be evident from the statistics page, my web-site seems to have become very popular with the search engine web-bot things ever sinced I changed my web-site to a PHP-based thing rather than PERL-based. I've no idea why that should be (I wonder if it's because the script runs faster, and therefore able to handle more requests?). Today has been rather dull on account of reduced mobility. I grew weary of the day time TV long ago. I can't stand all those stupid adverts for loans, typically shot in shades of blue/grey during the period of financial woe and then switching to over-satured colour once Carol Vorderman has appeared explaining some marvellous 7.4% APR loan to consolidate all your existing loans (home owners only though). I watch these adverts and keep thinking, "If you can't afford it, then don't buy it. And what on earth are you doing with a store card? Do you have any kind of idea what the interest rate is on those things?"
