The future looks Bright-on

Brighton has been a mute point lately and with all the excitement of sorting out the New Zealand holiday the new life plan was mentally shelved. Flights have been booked and paid and we’ve almost sussed where we’ll be during our 3 weeks campervan trip. Looking forward to the following highlights:-
  • Helicopter trip and glacier hike
  • Wearable Art show
  • Whale watching
  • Queenstown extreme stuff

The whole Brighton drive got rebooted after Kerry spotting some ‘affordable’ houses and the suggestion I continue to work in Southampton until I find a job. Today, it took on another potential opportunity that an estate agent said that demand is so high in our area we could sell in a week and get a lot more than we estimated. I’ll believe it when I see it but a sniff of hope just doubles the appetite. We’ve booked some Brighton house viewings for tomorrow. Watch this space for more news!

Obviously looking forward to Hot Fuzz next week as well as The Science of Sleep will be worth seeing - Michael Gondry’s imagination on full flow. Other film news is finding out that Sony will be making a Metal Gear Solid movie. Who will play Snake!?

Amazon has delivered Okami for some overdue gaming brilliance. The Japanese painting styled graphics have influenced the image above. More game related art from GuitarAtomik. The Katamari Damacy Video Girl is another favourite.

Anyone seen the cool skateboarding Nissan TV advert?

Kicking myself for not buying the Nikon D80 I saw it cheap on Ebuyer. It's the lens kit 2 (18-135mm) I've been dreaming about and about £100 cheaper with 9 months free credit. Changed my mind at the last minute and thought I'd do later in the week to read the small print then they sold out!

The Mighty Boosh new live show review

Image
Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
