Drinks and Musics

Spent a lot more than I meant to yesterday.  I wandered into town with stsquad to hang out with folks at the beer festival, which I figured would be quite cheap since I don't drink beer.  (I was assured there would be non-beer alternatives, such as vodkas and such.  They had all run out by the time we arrived - 1pm, day two - but there was mead so I was happy.)  It would have been cheap enough, except that when the beer festival ran out of beer (7.30pm, day two) we proceeded to a chinese meal (£20) and thence to a club.  Mmm, entrance fee, cloakroom fee, expensive drinks.

Still, it was an enjoyable evening; it was nice to see Lynz and foul_temptress again, and Marcus's workmate (minion) was entertainingly wasted following the beer festival.  (Luckily he's an affectionate drunk, so he was easy to control with an arm around the shoulder, to which he frequently responded with hugs.  For more detail on this particular escapade, see this related story.)

I mentioned on Friday that I purchased some CDs.  I will now share my opinions.

Just watched King Arthur for the first time.  Jeeee-zus.

Movie was only saved from utter contempt by Tristan being pretty damn cool ("How do you do that?" "Aim for the middle."), and the fact that Gawain and Galahad are so totally a couple.  Seriously, they're always standing really close together, and Gawain decides whether or not Galahad's going on dangerous missions.  And Galahad does not argue.

That is how bad the movie is.
