Perhaps this title is in bad taste, bearing in mind the rockets flying in another part of the world. However, that particular war is making it very difficult to watch the news these days. Mostly, I watch with a sense of numbness. War is just so.....violent. I read about Dr Stephen Hawking asking the Internet to respond with answers to the question:
How can the human race survive the next hundred years?
I haven't actually read his answer but I read someone's summary of it - essentially, it seemed to be saying we have to explore space and spread the human race into new worlds. Great idea, because we're going to blow this world apart with nuclear weapons.
I haven't done much blogging this week, I'm not really sure why. Maybe tiredness, listening to music etc. I like the new Muse album Black Holes and Revelations but I haven't got a clue what the songs are about. I also really like the new Snow Patrol album Eyes Open. I've also been reading a Batman compilation of Scarecrow stories from various decades.
I did watch 25 minutes of the film Domino and when I can get into Mulitply to login I'll write a sort of review, in a way it's not really fair to write a review after only 25 minutes but there you go - that's all I managed before I had to return the film to the library.
At the moment I'm halfway through the film Nightwatch. I also have Lucky Number Slevin and Aeon Flux to watch too. Reviews shall be posted, if Multiply is open for business...
What else have I been up to? I watched something on TV about British folk music and I'm a little enchanted at the moment by Eliza Carthy. I like some folk stuff and I have some friends who can play their own variations of folk tunes but it's not a scene I'm very aware of. From the programme I watched I think there are factions within the scene. Maybe that's overstating it but there seemed to be strong views on what constitutes being folk. I'm not really interested in all that, just let me hear some nice tunes and good songs.
I had a night out with a friend on Thursday. Haven't seen him for a while, we had a nice cheap meal and a pint in the pub around the corner. Some other people we knew joined us, so it wasn't all just us both. It's nice to get out, the consequence though is catching up on my favourite other blogs!

I like getting out like that too and hanging out with friends. Sort of like "Hey, there's a world beyond Blogger! Huh! Interesting!" :)
Tara: It's funny isn't it, how I work all day at a computer and then want to spend an evening on it too! Sometimes it's good to get out but it's nice too to be inspired by online friends and learn a bit about their lives.
