That was fun
Tonight I had a very nice dinner with Bruce and Elaine and Ori and Bill. We spoke about my wedding – less than 6 weeks away ARGGHHHH (of course I’m ARGGHHHing in a good way) – and religion and books and movies and indexing. All in all an entertaining night. The mushroom pasta thingie I …

Pirates 3
I saw it on the weekend with Ori and I must say that I didn’t like it. My main problem is that, like many blockbusters these days, it’s far too long. This was made worse by Pirates because, to be frank, after Mr Sparrow is saved, nothing actually happens. Oh yes, there’s plenty of betrayal …
