Dead Again

Well here's something that harks back to the very first post I made, I found out yesterday that George Romero is making another Zombie movie! This one is going to be called "Diary of the Dead", and there is an early script review up here which I skimmed but didn't read entirely to avoid spoilers. It sounds like a neat idea where apparently the story will be entirely seen through cameras that exist 'in world' as it were, although helpfully the main character is a film student making a documentary so has a camera with him all the time. Also its going to be a prequal of sorts, showing when the zombies first started appearing rather than following on from Land of the Dead.
The premise will seemingly make it very low budget, but I think it has the potential to be good, possibly even better than Land of the Dead, which while it was interesting enough won't stand out in my mind as a classic. So go George, give us a Diary of the Dead!

Word of the day

So yesterday I go onto google, and it gives me my word for the day, which happened to be sui generis
I have two problems with this, firstly its not one word, its two. My second problem with it is that its not even English, I'd rather my word of the day was in my own language.
On a plus point, it means unique, which is something I consider myself to be.

In other news, I moved into my new flat on Sunday, yay! Its nice, and has cut over an hour off my journey to work! Still need some more furnature, including a bed, which I just this moment found out is going to be delivered on Saturday =)
Bit lonely at the moment, especially with no internet there, but hopefully that will be sorted out next week.

Home.... and Away

Well I'm back from Canada. Actually I got back a couple of days ago, been very busy since then because.... I am moving! I've bought my first home, yay! Its completely empty and I don't have any furniture, so I will have to buy lots of stuff, can't even move in until I get the basics.

I'll post some stories about while I was away, and about my moving as it happens. My most recent crisis is not being able to get any internet until the 6th of September because the previous people didn't get the phone shut off in time. How will I deal with this... I don't know yet, have to figure something out.

Flight over to Canada was pretty good actually, the movies were Ice Age 2, The Lion King, and some rubbish with Harrison Ford, so pretty furtastic. I just had to make sure not to cry during the Lion King. And we had some nice seats with extra leg room. I thought Canada might be cooler than at home, but wow! At least they have aircon there though. More to come...
