Saturday update

Your 1 line fic choices prove your evilness ;)

Just remembering why I tend not to watch Arts programmes on TV, they tend to annoy me horribly.

This is going to get a little long:

On Thursday I watched a programme called "E=mc squared - the story behind the world's most famous equation" or something similar. ( And it was good. )

( And now I'm watching one of the Proms. )

There's going to be a documentary about the Strausses tomorrow and I'm already furious about the pre-publicity which says that waltzes are viewed as outmoded. By who? The idiots that like serious things mostly. The waltz is not meant to be a great introspective work of art. It's a dance tune, pop music, the bubblegum disposable music of it's day. I must say it's aged quite well. The only people I've ever met who dislike a good waltz are boring, serious people.

In short, biology is important, Beethoven rocks and waltzes are wonderful.

Blast, the Waltz thing and the repeat of episode 2 of Lost clash. Oh well, I'll just have to pick Lost up from ep 3. Actually everything tonight clashes. The Strauss thing with Lost and Top of the Pops, the Count of Monte Cristo with a Poirot with Paul McGann, and the first Police Academy film, and the end of the Poirot with Match of the Day 2, with the Chelsea v Arsenal match. Blast.

Computers at uni aren't working hence why you're only getting this on Monday.

USB sticks

Yay or nay to USB sticks. Basically there's a tonne of stuff I want to download and can on uni computers but its too big to put on floppy disc and most computers don't have CD drives.

Other than that the Jim Cazviel version of the Count of Monte Cristo is good. Not as good as it could have been, it could have done with another maybe half an hour, but good none the less.
