Collected Entries for December 2004

Amélie And The Italian Job: [December 31, 2004]
One unexpected disappointment and one unexpected joy of a film.

House Of Flying Daggers: [December 30, 2004]

Napoleon Dynamite: [December 29, 2004]
I like films with a plot and Napoleon Dynamite is missing much of one but somehow the offbeat comedy works in a subtle - not laugh out loud - way.

Going To The Dogs: [December 11, 2004]
I will feel slightly awkward when four of us head to wimbledon dog track.

A Pointless Rant About Trains: [December 10, 2004]
I am not shocked at the mediocre service. I am not shocked that the staff on board couldn't care about the confused passengers. What amazes me is that I took two trains and for the majority of both journeys the trains were full.

What's Your Pointless Obsession?: [December 09, 2004]
What's your pointless obsession? It's got to be pointless and yet take up lots of time that really you would be better spent working in a soup kitchen or raking the leaves. Mine is PIM (and I am not talking about the drink). [2 comments]

Weekend Away: [December 06, 2004]
