Le sigh

[winter]

Egypt now :( Quite apart from the tragedy (and it's ironic that it gets less billing than London, despite the similar scale), I'm also thinking about more mundane things. Like the fact that last year, the female parental unit finally stopped making "but they blow people up!" noises whenever I mentioned going to see the pyramids. I'm sorely tempted to use my internship money and take advantage of the fact it's going to be cheaper this winter. Not letting the bastards grind us down, and all that.

Current events in general are making me want to write bleak stories that no-one will read.

Now, to movies. Between the V for Vendetta trailer, which looks hopeful, the fact they moved the Polish Mr & Mrs Smith premiere up to August 5th, and the fact that I'm going to the pre-screening of Batman Begins today (boo-yah!) they cheer me up a bit ^^

Oooh. I can combine the two and read V for Vendetta on the tube today. And then write V-fic, possibly set in a future where the bad nuclear things only happened to Britain, so that the rest of the world history could proceed without many alterations. Right.

The story gets top billing on the BBC web news page - it's pushed the London stuff out of top spot.

But it's just big news over here, not something to change programme about :/ I guess it's part of that close-to-home thing. It's bigger news that there was a failed bombing in London than that there was a successful and bloody one in Egypt. And I'm talking about .pl media.

Absolutely with you on the idea of keeping doing whatever you intended to. Otherwise they win...

Providing my assorted family don't have a collective heart attack over the idea ;)

If I don't get a work offer after the internship, I might just do it.
