Back to the future - Part IX
Jun. 14th, 2004 09:28 pmI thought I had completed Dark Chronicle a couple of days ago, after having gone in to the future and vaporised one of the moons, but the sneaky Japanese put another chapter in that's past the end of the game, so it looks like I have ages to go yet.
It's absolutely boiling hot, and there's no wind either. Certainly makes a change from a couple of days ago with the flood. The weather just can't make up its mind here.
My dad came back from China yesterday with a whole heap of pirated DVDs. Many of them are a bit dodgy, with pauses in the middle of films, and some of them appear to have been filmed in cinemas by people who have had several gallons of coffee too many, but still, they're cheap. The subtitles in the films are absolutely amazing, as well - none of them have anything to do with what the film says at all, and many of them appear to be from the wrong films entirely. Also, who decided to have Billy Connolly in The Last Samurai (or, as the pirated cover calls him, "Lly Connolly")? It's as odd as Rik Mayall in that "Merlin" film ages ago.
This evening I was ploughing through the dreaded SAAS funding application form, which is the most awkward jargon-ridden heap of incomprehensible nonsense since Roy Dyckhoff. I've fought my way through a good portion of it but it's still there, mocking me from where it was discarded on the dining room table.
I could close this by making a really lame joke about Stratovarius writing a song about a web design package, but I will refrain.
