Hello, me again and with all the shite which is going on in the world I thought it was worth taking a look at the 'hot coffee' controversy which is getting Hilary Clinton upset about, yawn, GTA: San Andreas......Confirmed: Sex minigame in PS2 San Andreas - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot: "Given that the minigame is about as raunchy as an episode of Sex and the City, cannot be accessed without entering a long string of cheat codes, and takes several hours of effort to access, charges that San Andreas is 'pornographic' may seem extreme to some. However, its existence does appear to contradict Rockstar Games' carefully worded statement blaming hacker mischief for the existence of the Hot Coffee mod. "

2018 And thus the lawnmower of the summer holidays moves ever closer to the hidden frog of destiny. Blogs will come thin and slow over the next four weeks as I sun my palid skin in Sweden and the UK. Suffice to say that this has been a mental six months, and I am very much forward indeedy looking forward to the summer break.
The goals of the summer holidays involve a multitude of familial stuff which I won't go into but also the writing of a complete short story as well as some form of exercise (but not much running).
Take care y'all, have a good summer.
And I've finally managed to get some sleep.
Bugging the neighbours flat tonight.

23.03 Has anyone actually seen this? Revengers Tragedy (2002) It sounds bloody marvellous (Christopher and Eddie, both in the same movie, with a soundtrack by Chumbawamba no less) but I guess that, due to the Warner Brothers conspiracy to keep any movie from the public which might actually make people think, it was on at the cinema for about 20 seconds.
22.01 So my choices are watch Master and Commander, or M. Night. Shallllamamamamamamamans The Village, and then break after an hour to watch Father Ted which, we've just noticed, is on channel 1 at 23.30. Kind of curious to see how they translate 'feck'. On the subject of movies and subtitles watched House of Flying Daggers last night, good solid 8.5/10.....and with Swedish text as well (which means some subtlies of the plot may have passed me by but its usually pretty straight forward in such movies i.e. boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, girl turns out to be super stealthy assassin, boy betrayed by closest friend, girl dies, closest friend dies, boy dies, inexplicable tap dance routine, end).

Whilst perusing the various postings about the bombing in London I came across this site where some well meaning American had tried to introduce some love and spiritually to help the Londoners. As you might expect the British response was slightly more down to earth.london_hurts: Reflections Upon a River...
