Bought myself a plushie My Little Pony yesterday. Oh yes. The awesomeness.
Lee and I also succumbed to the lure of DVDs at the Warehouse. He bought Hero, I bought High Society.
I am listening to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds Rock Opera from 1978. Richard Burton's voice over is spookily haunting. The music is great, sorta reminds me of 'America':
"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one he said
The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one....
but still they come!
I love it.
Yesterday I saw two Documentaries: A Decent Factory which follows the efforts of Nokia to bring a factory into ethical compliance. It was amazing how obvious it is when people are lying. Simple misunderstandings too, like when an inspector expressed concern about chemicals being stored near drinking water in the bathroom the manager said 'yes yes, we'll move them' and then turned to a lackey "Move those into the kitchen RIGHT NOW!"
Grizzly Man is pretty cool. I could have done without Warner Herzog's sometimes purple narration but the subject matter of Timothy Treadwell was so compelling...he's a real character as my Mum would say. His footage of grizzly bears didn't disappoint, but I think I hold the belief that the native Alaskan expressed: By getting to close to the bears he has habituated them to humans. This makes them more vulnerable. Worth seeing although a little overlong.
Dracula ballet on Saturday was fantablulous. Everything I had hoped for. Loved it to bits and had fantastic company to enjoy it with.
Lessons I have learned at the ballet: Boys are Sexy. (I actually learned this one at the ballet years ago, but it was positively reinforced on Saturday.)
Working late tonight, so starting late. I wish I could be on holiday forever.
