I realised for the first time over the weekend that… I’m missing the games industry!

Yesterday, I clocked up 100,000 miles in my car. If we take an average of 60 mph, as I do do more motorway than urban, then I have been driving constantly in my car for 3 months of the last 5.5 years!

Saving Private Ryan
Steven Spielberg’s war epic about one mans task to find a soldier and bring him home. Despite all the blood and gore, and the first 25 minutes it is unrelenting, I really enjoyed this. [IMDb]

Shark Tale
I din’t actually watch this, but the kids seem to enjoy it. [IMDb]

Sin City
Hated this! This was the only film that I didn’t watch all of – I just couldn’t bare how bad it was. Some people might call it stylish, it just thought it was cheap and poor. [IMDb]

O God of earth and altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die;
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride.

- G. K. Chesterton
