davidnI can see this "tired" icon being used for a while.
So I did some work on things this afternoon, and had a rather pointless meeting about the presentation next Friday. Listening to Dr Seth's voice is the aural equivalent of Nytol. The dreaded essay which I keep on complaining about is now at 1,300 words, but it's the worst put together mess since Andrew Melville Hall itself.
Dinner was a rather hastily assembled chicken and mushroom pie - just a vague soup with some pastry slapped on top of it. After that, we got together to see X-Men 2 (or X2, as it's trendily called) instead of the traditional Union Friday.

The rest of this entry contains SPOILERS for X-Men 2... although it's pretty predictable anyway for the most part.

For a while, it looked like the film was going to be a typical action affair with all the movie cliches, short of a secret passage behind a bookcase. That stopped, though, in the scene where Magneto extracted a security guard's blood iron and shot it around the plastic prison to escape. Now, that was cool - and those who know me will know that that's not a word I use lightly - in fact, only about three other things qualify for it (the others being The Matrix, Final Fantasy X and Devil May Cry).
From then on it got better - it even had a man with a German accent who wasn't evil. Of course, he was coloured blue, which might have had something to do with it. And they didn't fall in to the trap of miraculously reviving a dead character, and even the aforementioned Matrix did that.
I can't help but feel that they had it a bit easy, though - telepathically destroy a missile, teleport in and out to rescue the one who fell out the back, telekinetically repair the plane. And other words that begin with "tele".
Two questions, though - Adamantium? Adam Ant? Never mind. And why are little girls so incredibly frightening?
