Bring on the weekend

Weekend ahoy !

Been a relatively busy one. And varied too in what I've been up to at work. I'm looking at a bit too much finance at the moment though, instead of being more interesting engineer type busy. Still, it's useful stuff as the bosses don't let us buy as many toys if they think we can't control the budget.

I've been attempting to keep up with the telly stuff and that will ease some over the next week or so as a group of series that I watch are finishing their run. I've been watching a rerun of Star Trek Voyager, which has got to nearly the end of its third of seven series. House and Heroes are another which are finishing, like Jericho last week. Jericho seemed a bit rushed in how they finished it but at least it's been allowed to have a good closing out, unlike series like the new Bionic Woman which just fizzled.

Doctor Who should be a cracker tomorrow, it adds a bit of anticipation when BBC do such a good job of rumour control. There were a couple of flashes of what's ahead but what we will see is a complete mystery. The writers for the new Doctor Who have been producing some good output but I can't help feeling that they're steadily tripping up over what they've done before. Sometimes a series can build up a little too much history, Buffy is a good example. I think series 5 had Buffy up against a God, it's like - ok, they've beat a God, where do they go from there ?

The Crazies watched Prince Caspian on Wednesday. Not quite sure what to make of that one, it's up to the normal Disney production standards and has some very spectacular battle sequences. Somehow it was missing something though. Can a film have a soul ? At least the pizza before was excellent as usual, even if Pizza Hut's brainwave for how they present garlic bread is rather flawed.

We'll be watching Wanted tomorrow. It has Angelina Jolie as one of the lead roles, so I'm expecting something special there.

Right - back to Voyager now and later a bit more Warcraft. It's Alterac Valley weekend, which means most of the players who can participate will be hitting that particular battleground because it's the most efficient way of earning a currency known as Honour which goes towards buying better gear.
