Will gets unusually sentimental

As I predicted in my harsh0r entry a while back, Ken Bigley has been confirmed as dead. It was pretty much inevitable from the time of his kidnap - now it's finally been confirmed, the family can get on with trying to cope... It may sound odd, but to me it seems better for them.

I've watched Charlotte Gray this evening... An impressive scene when the French Resistance trigger explosives under a German supply train carrying ammunition, and the ammo in successive carriages spontaneously detonates... Awesome stuff! Quite a good film too, overall, though not as good as the book, of course. I then progressed onto BBC1, but due to the afore-mentioned occurence in Iraq, the scheduled programme changed from "The Rock" followed by "The Dogs of War" - my intended choice of viewing - to an episode of Daziel and Pascoe, followed by "Patch Adams". Seen it before, but it's still refreshingly wry in patches (:D), even if sentimental and trite in others! Also: the little bald guy in the mental hospital at the beginning plays the prisoner with the mouse on Death Row in "The Green Mile" which I watched on Friday... Brilliant, even believable... and also supremely frustrating in the end, when something could surely have been done to save the innocent man, yet nothing was... ARGH.

There's something else I feel I kind of have to mention... I found something out tonight. Something sad, obviously for the people involved, but also possibly for us as a group... A part of what bound us together may disappear too. But I hope not... Although things may not be the same again, I hope that nonetheless something can fill that gap, and that all of us will still remain as friends. All of us are closer to some than others, and maybe that'll change, but though it may seem like another step in our disbanding, I hope that we, and especially they, will keep talking... It seems like they will, and I hope they will. Sometimes things happen that may be within our control, but beyond the grasp of our will. Sometimes, when we feel everything's just right, we want everything to remain the same. As we go our different ways into life that isn't always possible. But as we carry on with our lives we will find ourselves in other places where everything will be right again, and I hope that when we do, then our friends from school will still be close to us. It is almost inevitable that they won't be as close, but I hope that they will still be there, somewhere. Good luck, guys.
