Hmm, forms of procrastination

A largely "wasted" day Saturday. Could have been doing useful things with my life, stretching myself, producing things that other people find useful.
Instead... read two so-so whodunnits/thrillers set in Australia, and then washed that down with Clive James essays from "the Meaning of Recognition".
Procrastination eh, yeck.

PS The two books were Claire McNab's "Death Understood", which was OK, but didn't really *go* anywhere, and Garry Disher's "PayDirt", for which Richard Stark, creator of the Parker novels, ought really to be officially credited...

Movies I'd like to see

OK, a short list so far, but...

Paul Greengrass directing Matt Damon as "Macbeth"
I don't think (and can't be bothered to check imdb) that anyone's done a movie version of Macbeth since Roman Polanski. And I can't think of anyone to do brooding anguish with blood on his hands that Damon directed by PG. And if it stopped them spoiling the perfection of the Bourne trilogy (esp the last two- the first was rank) then all the better.

This is from a scrap of paper - I think written in the aftermath of seeing the dismal Cap'n Picard version of Macbeth in the West End late last year. Urggh...

Reading on the Stepper- ROTS the brain

Ah, only a year and a week.
Been busy.

Now going to start posting stuff here occasional burblings.

Various blogs need starting, IMHO
- "Reading on the Stepper"- ROTS the brain. As part of attempt to capture a bit more of what I read
- Something on Manchester and Climate Change (as part of MCFly)
- Something on Chomsky at 80
-er, that'll do...
