What you doing on the weekend?

[reddragdiva]

• cyberneph is visiting this weekend. Good!

• B-Movie on Friday. Who is going? And who is doing Dead And Buried instead?

• Anti-war march on Saturday. What groups of you lot are going, and where are you meeting?

• "Am I the only one here who didn't like Lord of the Rings? Dreadful piece of hackwork."

I must get photos up quicker, so that my ridiculously vain subjects will not lynch me via LJ and IRC. The current system (load into Gimp, crop, tweak colours, put up) has proven entirely too labour-intensive to be workable long-term. And I can take pictures SO MUCH FASTER with the new toy. Perhaps I should take them more carefully at the time. But that's no fun. This is Unix, I should be able to automate this.

(It does help that no-one seems to give a hoot about shiny index pages just so long as their pic looks good. And it is fun seemingly having become icon merchant to the world.)

Update: Why on earth is this post popular enough to score fifty-plus comments?

LoTR: Over-rated. Especially the second film. But then, I don't reckon that the book's much cop either.

Interesting that you've assumed that the rant reddragdiva is linking to is about the movie, not the book... won't be long before people forget there ever was a book!

goddamn pop culture of the youth of today... when I were a lass... *mutters*

Damn! too many years of Slashdot reading meant that I felt obliged not to read the article! ;-)

Although given the zeigeist, it wasn't an unfair assumption!

(Having now read the article, I kind of agree, apart from the bits about All About Eve and Jethro Tull, but that's because I'm a closet folkie. ) ;-)
