Under A Giraffe Darkly
August 21, 2006

UNDERWORLD

The Misterons Mix

Don't forget to Download your free Underworld [if you've bought the three previous downloads] mix... It's been available for 6 weeks actually, but I didn't notice.

Just got back from A Scanner Darkly, which was bit of a let down. Quite a good yarn, one I wasn't previously familiar with, but everything seemed a bit flat. I didn't think the Rotoscoping added anything to it and the "boiling" added a Roobarb & Custard quality that got a tad annoying after a bit. And that was what I was most excited about seeing! I should have watched the A-ha Take On Me video again!

My attention wandered at least three times... I'm not sure that it was the length of the movie but the editing. It lacked a bit of pace for me. Robert Downey Jr. seemed to have based his speech patterns on Adam West period Batman as well!

Had a nice lunch at Giraffe before [Middle Eastern mezze and a mango, bacon, Stilton and avocado salad [that didn't appear to have any avocado in it!] - Rose Rioja and Brooklyn Beer. Giraffe sell the Putumayo range of World Music CDs as well, which is a nice touch as their menu is sort of an edible equivalent.

Went to The Hive Honey Shop afterwards, to see the bees, but it was shut due to the weather bothering the bees or something. Do they get cross when it rains? The Hive is housed within the shop and is a 5 foot high, glass-fronted beehive, home to 20,000 live bees!

I've just added this kmz file that marks the locations of the various places we visited today in Google Earth. Something I might consider doing for each post or just updating each time to map everywhere we go. Just right click and save as *****.kmz [it defaulted to Win Zip when I tried it!]
