This is just a short one one the grounds that I got my deadlines mixed up, and so I have a giant piece of cw due in today which isn't finished yet. My brain is feeling happy and kinda sleepy in that mostly awake state that coffe brings when you're tired. Its quite a nice feeling really. You could sleep if you want to, but you don't have to, you're awake with a happy dull drowsiness hanging about. The album Discovery playing in the background adds a pretty neat feel as well. Today is a good time.
Sherlock decided to work on the iPlayer last night. Which was pretty darn cool (although it decided to work while I was supposed to be working on something else, so I got a little distracted) I really like the way they throw in little bits from the books, seemingly for the sole purpose of some people going " XD I read that it the books! How cool!" Like the orange pips bit in the last episode, or the book code in the one before. Although really the lady in the museum was a little bit silly as *** SPOILER (for the blind banker) SEE END OF POST***
I also saw 'Voyage of the Dawntreader' yesterday. Admittedly it wasn't the bestest film ever, but I will give the film makers credit for giving it a plot because the book really wasn't a film worthy book. It's a series of little adventures on islands (that don't really connect that much), whereas the film changes the order of events around a bit and manages to link them all together with a bit of plot and what's almost an antagonist. (Although I wouldn't really class it as one particulally). It was never amazingly gripping, but I think thats because its a kids film, and I already knew what would happen from the book. They also decided to add a small girl to the film, which annoyed me. They didn't need a small girl, and she didn't do much exept be a small girl, and interact with Lucy. I suppose the interaction was important, but it didn't justify her existence to me. Ok, maybe it justifies her existence, but I still didn't like it. Bleh.
I wonder how they're Gonna do 'The last battle', because that one feels a little dark for some of the kids watching The Dawntreader.
Anyways, its 9:00 so I should head down to the labs.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
