Movies
Posted Oct 20, 2003
My wife and I rent quite a few DVDs and always from the same chain, the only one in which we have kept out membership.
I'm quite happy with the fact that they've been stocking more Brit films and hopfully our patronage of these films will help decision makers keep buying them.
This weekend we watched a horror/thriller (my favorite genre) titled 9ine and a comedy (my wife's favourite genre) Anita and me.
It's like a discovery. I never new the UK made so many movies or that they were this good.
I loved Dog soldiers, finaly a good werewolf movie.

Protest
Posted Oct 9, 2003
Two days ago in Victoria University, the US ambassador was shouted down by students untill he abandoned his intended speech [read: swipe at government]. TV cameras showed a US flag being burnt in the parking lot.
I could not find any links but I was lucky that I have a friend in Hong Kong who had read the stories.

The US wants us to revise the no nuke stance. Rightwing political parties want us to bend over and grab our ankles for the every whim of anoth country.
I find myself not only dissagreeing with the right wing in NZ but also finding that I have not even the slighest respect for them what so ever.

adds and stuff
Posted Aug 16, 2003
For the first time last Saturday I dipped into internet commerce with the intent to neither recieve nor pay any money.
My add just finished 10 minutes ago and I've had one taker on my proposed swap deal. How is it to end up? Well so far by to contact I looks hopeful.
Aside from this. When I dialed up I my ISP's we portal site had this in the "Quote/Thought for the day"
" "In the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people angry and been widely regarded as a bad move" Douglas Adams"
Naturally I thought 'well it's about time'.
