golf
Slightly and I had a fairly epic game of golf today. Proper golf. None of this pitch-and-putt nonsense, a real par 70 course. We even had to borrow golf shoes and wear smart clothing!
Deciding to do 9 holes, we were just about to tee off when some old biddy yodeled at us and explained that we were at the women’s tees and demanded that we use the men’s. We attempted to explain that we were, in fact, crap, but she had none of it. These women were highly annoying as they were behind us throughout the course, telling us we were out of bounds and nearly hitting us several times with their shots.
Under the beady eyes of these women, we took nine shots on the first hole. only four over par! Still, we improved and finished the 9 holes in 54 shots each (par was 35). This kinda works out as 2 extra shots a hole, so we have a handicap of 36ish…
On several occasions we achieved “bogey” and a couple of times i nearly got a par!
King Rat
this is possibly the worst review I have ever read. It’s a review of King Rat by China Mieville and suggests that it is very much like American Gods and Neverwhere (both by Neil Gaiman). Mayhaps it’s worth getting out of the library.
Lost in Translation
Thought someone should blog something…
Solid and I saw Lost in Translation the other day. It was a bit of a strange film – one of those where not much actually happens but what does happens is very well done. Lots of periods of silence interspersed with quirky, observational humour mainly targeting the strangeness of japan when looked at through a westerners eyes. Bill Murray and Scarlette Johansson were good, and played the parts of tired actor and bored wife pretty well. Beautiful photography too.
In related news, the star wars trilogy (ie. 4 5 and 6) is being release on DVD. Yay:-)
the noise levels at seem to have increased recently…
