Aug. 1st, 2003 11:02 pmThe heat lump on my foot is still yellow but I'm going to the walk-in centre tomorrow so hopefully something will be done and it will clear up. In the meantime I'm considering a tourniquet so it'll stop itching.
I was reading the foreign newspapers section of Ceefax, and there was a snippet from on of the Hungarian papers. This doctor is having to ask people to donate rubber gloves and tissues for his surgery. And then the paper says at least it's not as bad as in the UK.
There is something either heartwarming or worrying about that and I haven't decided which.
On a happier note - I really like the new Anthrax song, even if I can't watch the video without wondering if that is Keanu Reeves.
I must get this month's edition of Total Film, because not only does it have an interview with Joachim Poenix, but it also contains a photo of the new Thunderbirds film.
Ben Kingsley is playing the Hood, and looks so right for the part. Plus Jonathan Frakes is directing and whatever else I say about him, he's a good director.
But best of all, they've got the brothers more or less right. Okay so I guessed which one was Scott and John because one of them looked way older than the rest (Scott) and one of them had sticky-up blond hair (John). Allan was easy because he's the young cute one. That left Virgil and Gordon, and there's one non-descript guy who'd be perfect for Virgil and another guy who is almost cute enough to be Gordon.
Yes, my first crush was a puppet. But Gordon was fun.
Knowing my luck of course, they'll all be different to what I've guessed them as. And if you think I've been hard on the Potter casting director, you ought to have heard me in RL about this film.
If I find any pics on the net, I'll post links.

Firefly made me cry. Now in all the years of Buffy never once has that happened. Hence I'm feeling particularly bitter towards TV execs at the minute.
Except they've just shown an episode of 'Dinnerladies' which is one of the best comedy shows ever. If you get the chance, catch an episode. Some of it is quite North of England centric but most of it is easy to follow.
On a related note, to those Yanks finally getting into football thanks to the Manchester United moneymaking shindig, shouting 'go Manchester' is inappropriate due to there being two Manchester teams. It would be like watching baseball and shouting 'Go New York'. Plus, don't cheer for United, they are evil.
Okay, so they're not, but they have just been charged with shirt price fixing, along with JJB Sports, who just happen to sponsor Wigan, Saint's arch-rivals. Mass jubilation followed.
