bugshaw at 08:11am on 02/04/2014"So what do you like doing with your spare time, bugshaw?"
"Well, I like going to the cinema, and to gigs and comedy and art exhibitions"
And I can back it up with the evidence below. How I fit all this into a month boggles me.
Books read (4-9)
Natural History, Justina Robson (2003)
#tag, David Wake (2014)
Code Name Verity, Elizabeth Wein (2012)
Boneland, Alan Garner (2012)
The Bloody Red Baron, Kim Newman (1996)
A Madness of Angels, Kate Griffin (2009)
Films watched (21-35) (6 at the cinema, 4 DVD, 1 video, 2 tv, 2 stream)
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
Pitch Perfect
The Lego Movie
The Thirty-Nine Steps
The Grand Budapest Hotel
Employee of the Month
Lady Vengeance
Under the Skin
The Godfather
Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier
Computer Chess
Calvary
Legend
Pa Negre/Black Bread
Starred Up
Gigs, comedy, clubs etc (8-14)
Paul Klee (art, Tate Modern)
Beautiful Science (art, British Library)
Made in London (jewellery, Museum of London)
The Tyburn Tree (music, John Harle and Marc Almond, Cambridge Corn Exchange)
John Cooper Clarke (punk poetry, Cambridge, Junction) plus support Mike Garry, Dave Formula and the Finks, and a comedian from Bungay whose name I forget
Simon Munnery: Fylm (comedy, Leicester Square Theatre, London)
Veronese (art, National Gallery)
Books incoming: 1 (I, Phone: David Wake as I wanted a proper shiny paper copy)
This was the month in which I got a Kindle, pre-loaded with 512 books, so I hereby abandon all attempts to obtain no more books than I read. I seem to read fast on a Kindle, maybe the fewer words per line leap into my brain more quickly without having to do so much eye-tracking.
Lots of things were awesome! (Lego: everything is awesome!) But if I wait till I have time to write all about everything and how awesome it is, a) I won't get round to it and b) you will have to scroll down a half dozen screens. Read Code Name Verity, and go and see Under the Skin if you can (if you like existential sf films with weird scores)
