slowfoxBack in Hull, and just returned to Castle Fox having seen District 9, which was *awesome*... although the ending seemed to be developing a touch of sequelitis. Definitely worth watching (a couple of gruesome bits, mind), and probably best to go in completely 'cold', as I did, knowing next to nothing about the plot.
I'm still ploughing my way through Sookie Stackhouse canon - finished Definitely Dead earlier this evening, and am now on All Together Dead. I'll probably cobble a review for each in due course, but just wanted to reassure you all thatI haven't broken my addiction I've not lost my stride :-)
Remember the American missionary people doorstepping me in previous weeks here at Castle Fox? They pounced on my in Haywards Heath, too! Same American Christian dudes, same $63,000* smiles, same name badges.
Same response from me, too (because I've had some practice now).
The trip computer in the car told me that through the course of the week's trip I'd driven 638 miles averaging 51.4mpg, with an overall average speed of 40mph. Both the journey down and the journey back up were remarkably undistinguished - I prefer the A1/M11/Dartford Crossing route to my previously favoured M18/M1/Heathrow course. There's not much in it, either distance-wise or timewise. It's basically a 6 hour journey each way, but rather than worry too fixedly about what time I'm going to arrive, I just settle in for the duration.
HMV have a sale on, so I've picked up Buffy S2 (finally), along with the Box Set of The West Wing (for completeness' sake: at £50, it seemed silly not to).
* not quite the full deal
