Latest news...

Items to report:

  • The Incredibles was good. It was a bit different from previous Pixar films in that it was more of an action/adventure than a comedy (although there were decent helpings of comedy too). It took me a while to adjust to the style shift but once I did, I was hooked.
  • Halo 2 has been out on the Xbox for nearly 2 weeks now. It has received a lot of hype and I think that it lives up to most of it. The online play is excellent although it seems that virtually every other player out there is better than me.
  • Liverpool FC has had a terrible run of form and luck this past week or so. All of the team's top goal-scorers are injured, which is a ridiculous case of bad luck. And the team has lost its last two matches: 0-2 away to Middlesbrough at the weekend and 0-1 away to Monaco in the Champions League last night.
  • We have a massive weekend coming up. On Saturday Andy is organising and hosting the second Annual Games Championship (AGC) a day-long multi-discipline video gaming competition, which everyone is thoroughly looking forward to.
  • Then on Sunday we will be having Thanksgiving dinner at our house. Thanksgiving was by far my favourite holiday in America and so we have imported it to England. We can't have Thursday off so Sunday seemed like the natural alternative. We did the same thing last year and it was a great success.
  • Tomorrow night we are going to see the ballet version of Romeo & Juliet in Bristol. The performance has been getting great reviews in the national press so I have quite high hopes. I'm not really a ballet fan, but this is supposed to be as good as it gets.
