Out For the Count

Like [livejournal.com profile] heleninwales , I was without connectivity all day (thank you, Demon Internet) so it was a good job I'd arranged to go to the cinema with H this afternoon. We went to see Surrogates - about which I knew nothing in advance. Bruce Willis solving crime in a world where everyone stays indoors and interacts with the world and each other via their robot selves and a virtual-reality type link. A pleasant diversion but not an earth-shattering movie.

Nice to see H back from her trip to Canada and the USA. We're starting Artisan rehearsals for the reunion tour Monday after next.

I suspected that the problem with Demon might be quite serious when I went online using the mobile broadband dongle and discovered that I couldn't access my Demon mail via the web. It had been fine all morning though, so it sounds like you were even worse off than us.

We don't get to the cinema all that often, sadly, as it's a long drive to the nearest one with any choice. It has to be something quite special to tempt us there, or alternatively, we just have to fancy a day out with a film thrown in almost as an extra.

I've had a few outages over the last few months so I don't let it rattle me. I'm not in a position of having any vital reason to be on-line so I just get on with stuff. I think I lost connectivity around lunchtime and it was back when I checked around 10pm.

Tour! Oh! I will watch for dates.

BIRTHDAY! Yikes. My bad. Happy belated birthday! It sounds like you had a wonderful day. York is fabulous. :)

Have you seen District 9? dadgaderie and I went to see it a while ago and it was pretty good- certainly no boring moments. One or two little plot holes but otherwise, very good.
