Entries I would have made, had LJ not been down:

Monday

Pick your ideal dog! Mine's a poodle.

Today houses on my street had our new electricity smart meters installed. So that was exciting. No, it wasn't. But it was a thing that happened, so it's news.

Tuesday

Today I went to see the last Harry Potter film. I went to a 3D screening, because I haven't been to a 3D screening in the City by the Sea's cinema before and I'm on holiday, so why not go crazy? The 3D didn't do much for me, I must say, except at the end when Voldemort's skin was floating around. Special effects are wasted on me.

While I am sounding like a fuddy-duddy, I really wish that when film-makers make films that are dark, they wouldn't compound the metaphor by turning all the lights off. I hate squinting at a dark screen, trying to work out what's happening. If I ever make a film, I promise it will be the brightest thing you've ever seen, no matter how angst-ridden it is. If there's a night scene, I'll make sure it's set in a football field to take advantage of the stadium lights. If there's a scene underground, it will be in a well-lit, modern mine.

Wednesday

Nothing much happened. I listened to a storm on Saturn, so that was something.
