on the box

Tonight, for the first time in months, I find myself likely to be watching telly on a Tuesday night while Furtle is on a Warcrack raid. She will be using my PC as it is rather faster than her Mac (I am hoping that Glyn, who built mine is on holiday and not just avoiding me, as we would like him to build a new machine for her), which means that I shall be free for televisual entertainment.

I can’t play Civ on her machine and I don’t think that my laptop is powerful enough. I doubt that there will be anything on the interweb that I want to do, so a non-computer evening it shall be.

Tuesday night is hardly spectacular on UK TV channels, but I may watch the Sunglasses of Justice¹ on Five at 9pm, which might be fun. We used to watch it quite a lot in the Athenaeum Club but several weeks without TV reception meant that we just got used to watching DVDs or doing something else. Of course, as luck would have it, Tim Burton’s Batman, featuring Jack Nicholson’s take on the Joker starts at 9 on Film Four. I thought about it, but I have that on VHS and have seen it more than once, so a visit to Miami Dade is probably in order.

Or a DVD; I could watch a DVD.


¹Don’t say you do not know what this is! (Hawaii Five-O for the MTV generation)

Surely "Hawaii Five-O for the MTV generation" is going to be Hawaii Five-0 2.0?

So... you now have WoW on your comp, and are intending on getting another comp for Furtle, which will also have WoW installed.

You're going to end up being a William Shatner stylee shaman aren't you?

I hope you didn't go for 'Mr Strike a pose with my sunglasses and then promise all the little children that it will all be OK and I'll get the nasty people for them' I'm in a PBEM at the moment and (in fact currently in another tab) am writing some stuff with a young woman in Finland who within 10 IM's of first talking to her was joining me in decrying that as the crap one of the three. Apparently it's the best selling one, what on Earth does that say. Sheesh. I could go on, but I'll just do one more, Mr Shades, striking his sunglasses pose at the base of the statue of Christ over looking Rio. AAaaaarrrrgh my eyes, my poor eyes...
