anniversary approaching too much tv

my first post in this blog is dated june 5th 2004, so exactly 12 months later will be next sunday...

and so i've decided to read through my entire blog thus far before then, i've read the first three months so far, last summer, fascinating (to me)...

and i've also watched 2 films on tv, firstly we dive at dawn on bbc2, john mills in a propaganda film from 1943, submarines... really good for what it is, watched it with spski after we went to manolis for breakfast, manolis back now after he left his job @ the beehive, loufkia made by his son, the dish i really love, i had it yesterday and today... manolis on good form, telling us about the party he went to last night...

then later on i sat down just for the intro to robin hood prince of thiefs on bbc1... oh what folly, i have square eyes now... alan rickman... you were great in that film...

i'm continuing to download episodes of 24, i wish i could download episodes of heimat, the original, which is currently showing on bbc4, come on one of you cultured digital types, give me a torrent...

i've got an assessment to prepare for tomorrow, i'm considering getting my students to sightread the song i wrote for the absent piano last july, anyway i can't watch any of these 24 episodes now, i've got to work... so naturally the procrastination part of my brains swings into action... hmm, a meal...

I will be sending you some interview questions in a day or two.

Cannot provide technical advice on downloading of Heimat but can say that final two episodes of Part 3 were excellent.

The Interview Game

OK the rules are I set you five questions based on my reading of your blog.

You answer the questions and then offer to interview someone else out there on the same terms.

1. Which is your favourite stretch of the Thames and why?

2. Why do you mainly read books written by men?

3. What is the most unusual thing you have witnessed on the disused railway line?

4. If you were to compose a personal ad in the LRB what would it say?


5. If you had to have dinner with either Julie Burchill or Tony Parsons who would you choose? (Staying at home with a sick headache is not an option)

Look forward to the responses.
