One of these days I'll Mean it!

Never again. I say it every time. I'm not long back from helping Slacker's Ex fom shifting her stuff from his place. It's only taken the better part of 2 years or so but it's actually happening and muggins here has been roped in to help over two days. I hope all this is good for my karma, it's not good for my back...

The Tragedy of Hector

That's my alternate title for Troy. I've just returned from seeing it at the DCA in town. Gods, what a movie. I was prepared to hate it or nitpick about differences between the Film and The Illiad but I just didn't care. An immense spectacle of epic proportions! With a cast of thousands (of cgi people and ships)!

I wonder if Sean Bean and Brad Pitt got together and compared notes about getting feathered at the end of a movie. I hope they make a sequel (Homer did) and apply the same production values to The Odyssey

For those of you, like me, who love the ancient myths of the Greeks try Mythweb for fairly cool abridged versions.
