Well I’ve just finished watching Men in Black II (2002). Not a bad ironing movie. What’s an ironing movie? When I’m ironing I like to watch a movie. It mustn’t be too engrossing or else I don’t do the ironing. Likewise, it can’t be too “sophisticated” or else I can’t keep track of what’s going on. …
I’ve been looking for some way to manage my links from with MT. So far, no obvious way has come to light. There are some kludges to use “Categories” but that seems fraught with problems. So I have started looking for non MT solutions. At the moment, Linkster seems like it might do the job. …

Well I’ve bitten the bullet (again) and set up my own weblog here. This is mainly for my benefit, rather than anyone-else’s benefit.

We went to see The Hollow Crown at the Aotea Centre. It is an production by the Royal Shakespeare Company. It was wonderful. The cast was outstanding; Diana Rigg, Derek Jacobi, Ian Richardson, Donald Sinden, and a “minstrel” Stephen Gray. I think the four main players are at the zenith of their professional skills.
