Firstly, here’s proof that my computer knows me WAY too well. Whenever Skype crashes I get this message:
I know that this message is totally by accident and not intentional, given that “Take a deep breath” is one of Skype’s slogan but it’s still kinda freaky.
I finished Brighton Rock last night having been enraptured the past few days and reading the latter half of it in the last 2 days. I think I’ll need more time to consider and think about the book before I’ll really understand the ending, I know the actions that happen but it seems very out of character for Pinkie, but I suppose he is young and underlyingly immature and panicked. I recorded the film which was on Dave a little while ago, I’ve watched it through and, even though the screenplay was written by Graham Greene, who wrote the novel itself, it has significant differences and probably wouldn’t have worked were it not the adaptation of a book. I’ve also heard about a new adaptation of the book that’s due to start filming later this year.
Oh I didn’t mention that, very appropriately for this blog, the man who played Dallow in the film was none other than William Hartnell, the first actor to play Doctor Who.
In any case, I’m moving on to “The God Delusion” which I obtained from Chloe on Saturday. My thoughts were, and remain, that I should read it before I start university, as I may inadvertently make an enemy if I meet a devout christian while reading it.
