Resistence is Futile

You will be assimilated by technology.

I'm sitting in my bed, drinking tea, listening to music streaming from a website... and typing this entry! That's right, madcap Bonkers fans: the House of Death's very own stoneage resident has entered the 21st Century and has wireless broadband on his laptop!

And not a moment too soon, either, because there's lots of news for you ladies and mentalmen to catch up on! First things first, Hallowe'en: what a night! Everyone dressed up fabulously (except one or two who just dressed up, but the less said about their 'costumes' the better) and had an amazing time. Zorro was on hand to rescue those in need of rescuing, which turned out to be (almost) everyone at some stage, although Zorro himself could have done with assistance at several times, too! Now, I would post photographs, but that would ruin the entire point of me avoiding putting any identitifcationable (new word for today, just made it up) information on this website. Instead, I'm sending said photographs to key members of the madcap fanbase. Find your nearest Bonkers contact to see them!

Work is going well, although I felt sorry for one of my group members whose excellent approach to our project was torn apart by our tutor, to be replaced by a very basic plan that we thought of first and rejected as "too silly"... but needs must: after all, the tutor's doing the marking so we'll do what she said! Apart from that minor incident (and me missing Wednesday morning's lecture, for obvious reasons), I'm still enjoying my course!

Big excitement on the media front, too, as several franchises are making their presence known in the House of Death (or about to, at least)! Firstly, I've booked, purchased and have sitting on my desk five tickets to see Casino Royale on Thursday November 16th... oh yes! 24: Season 5 and Mission: Impossible III are out on DVD on Monday, too, and the following day a large art book called Star Trek: Ships of the Line is released: basically, gigantic CGI images of the highest quality showing some of the galaxy's best starships. The most extravagent and expensive picture book ever, and I can't wait! Put that alongside the novel I'm reading at the moment, Last Full Measure, dealing with the Xindi threat to Earth, and I'm surprised I've got time for my university work!

I don't have time for political comment this week, though (something had to go), but I'll return with an update on how I think His Tonyness is ruining... sorry, running... no, right the first time... the country and how we should all vote Conservative soon (some things never change)!

Peace out, ladies and mentalmen!
