"Where the wild things are" is a rare thing : a watchable children movie.

Excellent video from Psychic TV ( "Force the hand of chance" era ).

NM Xmas lunch at the Port Royal.

It took me six months to finish Simon Reynolds "Rip it up and start again Postpunk 1978-1984"
excellent cultural history of rock music in the early eighties.

It will probably takes six more months for my brain to process the contents.

Rassure par le beau cadeau de Noel de mes Mecenes americains, detente a la maison entre amis autour d'une raclette et de quelques bouteilles.

Samedi un peu d'enervement autour d'ampoules recalcitrantes. Mais rien de mechant.

Ce dimanche Miss et moi avons decide de feter nos 6 mois ensembles ( la plus longue relation de mon
existence hourrah ! ). Apres une promenage scenique et hivernale autour du reservoir de Fernworthy dans le nord Dartmoor, nous avons partage un "sunday roast" dans un pub plus que typique de Chagford,
le Ring'O'Bells.

Tout est bien.

Stress intense hier.
Raclette ce soir pour recuperer.

Uncluttering on its way and wifi installed !

Week-end en solo a la maison.

Oddfellows hier soir. Cette apres-midi, apres avoir complete ma todo liste, je me
recompense en regardant le pilote de Stargate Universe.

Geeky mais bien meilleur que le pilote de V.
