Kingdom of Destruction
Quote of the moment:
"Looks like needless air resistance to me." - Steve Prefontaine referring to the "Swoosh" (tick) on the very first pair of Nike trainers.
I watched Prefontaine tonight after Meet The Parents. Very good, especially the way the light perfectly replicates that in 70s films and the original race footage. Incidentally, swoosh was the term he invented for the final surge of energy at the end of a race.
This morning our puppy, Zulu, decided to chew the post. This morning's post happened to include a new bank card for my mum (completely destroyed) and my sisters' school reports. What a clever boy - if only he'd been here a year ago!
My dad put the bits back together.
The totally dismembered card.
Also for your viewing pleasure, the start of Zulu's journey to Australia:
In other news:
Mr Homer left a comment on Koel's blog. Scary. I might have to watch my words on there.
Kingdom of Heaven comes out this summer: Ridley Scott, director of multi-Oscar-winning Gladiator, reminds everyone how to make a historical epic properly. It's a story of crusaders, castles and huge trebuchets featuring the now obligatory Orlando Bloom, with solid backup including Liam Neeson, Jeremy Irons, Edward Norton and Brendan Gleeson. That's the Brendan Gleeson who was in Braveheart and spoke the immortal line:
"I'll crush you like a worm!"
