Lookie-lookie, I've got... Villy?
Quote of the moment:
Peter Pan: I remember you being a lot bigger.
Captain Hook: To a ten-year-old I'm HUGE.
- Hook. How... Rob?
I forgot to mention that my sisters and mother disappeared to go skiing almost exactly 48 hours ago. So, it's just me and my dad, clearing out the freezer gradually, meal by meal.
Argh. My dad spent over 5 hours - FIVE HOURS - trying to look up, on the internet, what MRC's middle name is. I couldn't believe it. I said I should phone and ask around 8.30pm, but my dad said 'Not during suppertime!', then after our supper he decided to search. At 2.30am he finally gave up, having failed. In case you were wondering, I'm supposed to include it on my visa form because I'm using him as a reference. Foolish American slugheads!
I had a pretty epic day, doing absolutely nothing. My viewing schedule went thus:
Hook - classically naff and americanised.
Earthsea - quite entertaining, although with Danny Glover as a wizard I had a vague expectation that Mel Gibson would appear to shoot smiley faces in some bad-guy armour.
Tsunami: Anatomy of a Disaster - Absolutely dire. Said "No-one could have predicted what happened next" then went on to describe how refraction curved the tsunami waves around the opposite shore of Sri Lanka to that facing the epicentre. Errr... refraction is GCSE physics. Besides, if asked "Would the wave spread out past the island or would it split on the edge and continue with a sharp edge straight onwards?" even PODGY should get it right!
BBC News - nuff said.
The Queen's Castle - rather interesting, plus opportunities to laugh at Guardsmen.
The Games Live - tonight's male event: sumo wrestling. Craig Charles was the heavyweight at 83kg. I SO could have owned at that.
Enigma - quite good, though not enough maths for me...
All the President's Men - a classic, and not just for the informant codenamed Deep Throat :p
About 1am I got off my arse and did a load of weights in front of the TV, followed by some core strength stuff. I have also told Jimmy to take me to his gym in only 5 hours time. Hopefully he'll choose to go later in the morning. Still, it should give the idle tubby chap an advantage against superfit, superactive me, eh?!
