I got my Working VISA today. I now can legally work in the UK by flashing my huge stamp in my passport. I have everything that is required to get me there. Excitement level has increased.

Saw Troy last night and was a little unsatisfied with it all - as I have been with a number of movies of late - don't get me started on Van Helsing..... The older actors were gold and the "younger" [isn't Brad 40 now!?] seemed a little uncomfortable. Peter O'Toole was good and Brian Cox [who was in X-Men II] was great as Agamemnon, but Brad tried his quirky style in parts [which is a style I really enjoy in Se7en, 12 Monkeys and Fight Club] which just didn't fit, I'm still unsure whether I think that Bana can act or not and Orlando was nothing until he became Legolas at the end. He's stuck with that bow and arrow isn't he? The ladies were average too -- Rose Byrne just didn't cut it for me, and Helen seemed just very weak. But all in all it was a good watch even if I am harsh about it above, and the first movie I've seen solo for a long time -- so it was good practice for the UK if I can't find anyone to come along :)

Don't organise to hook up with someone via SMS. Go back to old way and call them! Or write a bloody letter. I'm a sucker for using this technology because its too easy. But you wait there for a response and don't get one in your comfort period, fret they didn't get it and think wierd and wacky thoughts why they aren't responding. I wonder how many people are breaking up over SMS nowadays....."sorry babe but you just don't do it for me anymore. its over." Message Sent.

Found this site linked off Flash Kit and can't explain how cool it is for a personal site and wonder how his brain works.
