A New Cycle
Happy New Years!
I know everyone keeps talking about the earthquake and tsunami in Southeast Asian, but please don’t forget to donate to the Red Cross.
I finally started to read the Baroque Cycle which has, to say the least, been interestingly weird the first few pages. Still trying to get use to the setting and nomenclature. The end of The Naked God was less interesting than I had expecting. I think Peter Hamilton ran out of steam and couldn’t finish with too much more information (probably be a whole nother book) but it is too bad the whole crisis + other issues are all solved in one final event.
Cheryl and I watched a couple of movies recently:
- Oceans Twelve – You’d probably like this if you liked the first Oceans Eleven, but I didn’t think it was exciting as it could have been.
- The Life Aquatic – I was expecting this to be a funny movie so I came away disappointed. Reminds me of About Schmidt .
And I saw a couple of DVDs:
- Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex – Only on the 3rd disc, but a pretty good series. If you liked the movie, Ghost in the Shell you’d probably enjoy this. It is a bit toned down from the movie, but it’s still good.
- This is Spinal Tap – First time I’ve seen this. Pretty funny movie, reminds me of Metallica: Some Kind of Monster .
I think that’s about it. Oh yah, Cheryl and I will be heading to Cancun at the end of the month for a week’s vacation, so that should be fun!
