Yes, in about forty minutes (everything going to plan) the Space Shuttle Discovery with lift off from Kennedy Space Center with it's crew of seven on the first shuttle flight since the Columbia disaster in '03. May everything go well. (for those interested there is NASA TV so you can watch everything on the internet!!!)
I will admit, as I should, there was more than one reason for me to dedicate this to Yip's Champagne B-day..... I sort of got the impression that the card I sent her wasn't going to get there on time. This would be partly because she lives in Canada and partly because I only posted it on Sunday. Whoops!!!
That, and as I'm evil, I think it's going to be slightly embarrasing.... but only if someone else reads it......
Now, I've watch a couple of movies in the last couple of days. One, a big action epic, lots of fighting, etc, and was rubbish. Don't see it. King Arthur is one of the worst films I've ever seen!!! I really mean it. King Arthur, as you all know, is of course a Roman. The Knights of the Round Table are Sumarian Knights brought over by the Romans...... Merlin is a Pict, fighting the Romans, having had many battles against Arthur..... just don't see it. It wouldn't have been too bad it it wasn't for the fact they've tried to tag on the Arthurian legend. That's what's spoilt the film!!!
The other was a smaller, lower budget sporting romantic comedy from Canada starting and directed by Paul Gross (he of Due South fame) called Men With Brooms. And it's brilliant. I really enjoyed it. Even though you knew it goes like most of these sporting romantic comedies. The team (in this case Curling) is brought back together by the death of their old coach and enter in a competition that he never managed to win. Just happening to up against some of the best curlers in the world. And the captain of the team gets the girl. (or more accuratly, she gets him!!!)
This is a nice and bright cheery background, which I do like, I may keep it. Though I'll probably go back to the Pork Pie symbol....... cause I like that!!!!
