Dancing to the Music of Time

A very quick update as I've been skulking in the shadows for a while.

Last week saw the powerful one-two punch of Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and 20-20 cricket at the Oval. Two great days, though I have to say that Pirates had the definite edge on account of its unmitigated genius. Surrey vs Middlesex, sadly, was not as earth-shaking but still fun mainly thanks to the fools who dashed on the pitch towards the end of the game in a vain attempt to make off with the stumps. Had I been more on the ball (and less drunk) I could have secured pictures. Meh.

The weekend saw viewings of Flightplan (rubbish) and XXX2: State of the Union (rubbisher). However, also began plans to resurrect my NES (which I have, amazingly, in one piece and with all original games). In addition integration of the worlds of Mac and Xbox continues apace with this rather fine xbox 360 controller driver.

Finally have become unreasonably excited at this. It's an MMORPG admittedly, but its got pirates in! Remains to be seen whether it'll be ready for Mac - Xbox is probably a bit much to hope for.
