New Special School! Today's has less of a punchline, and more of a ... thing. Twist ending. Or something.
I promise, joke on Friday. Not necessarily a good one, but definitely a joke.
So, the weekend in review. Saturday was fairly quiet until the evening; I spent the day mostly playing Warcraft. I also dug out Knights of the Old Republic and continued an old save game, and confirmed that yes, I think I do enjoy single-player games more than MORGs. Maybe I just have to get more actual roleplaying done. Anyway, then, in the evening, I was dragged out to Sin City. Which despite its name is not a fetish night, but rather a small club in the basement of a pub. Like a single room of Rock World, perhaps slightly friendlier for its small size.
Oh, also on Saturday, of course, was the latest Doctor Who episode: DALEK. ( Spoilers! )
So then came Sunday. Again, mostly spent with WoW, but in the evening Mr![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
batelf came around to watch DVDs as advertised. King Solomon's Mines was excellent, Lost City of Gold less so - it was alright up to the last half hour, when things just went sharply downhill. Low point was Quatermain striking an axe against a giant gold lion's head, causing it to melt. I don't know if the axe was made of a special metal, or if he was utilising some hokey scientific principle ("If I strike the molecules of the gold head hard enough, I can excite them and cause them to separate from one another!") - it was never explained. Perhaps it was detailed in the book and they just didn't think to add explanatory dialogue.
Finished off the evening watching Justice League: Starcrossed, which I still think is pretty nifty.
Yesterday (Monday) was pretty quiet as well, though in the afternoonstsquad had a barbecue. I socialised a bit but had to leave in order to cook for people in Bolton. (It's a regular meal, we take turns cooking. The idea of having it in Stretford when it's my turn to cook has been met with some disdain. I may have to bow out until I'm employed again, petrol is not cheap.) I cooked a pasta carbonara, it seemed to come out quite well.
