I'm sure there were things I meant to post about. Can't think what they were, though. I'm currently relaxed and sleepy, unable to think in much more than short words, and looking forward to sleeping very much. Weekends are wonderful things - having put in a few hours work on a website this afternoon, I've done almost nothing since, and needed to do just that to recharge.

Ohyeah. Nina picked up the first six episodes of Robin of Sherwood on DVD on Friday, and we watched the first of them today. I was prepared for it to not be as good as I expected, for the special effects to be bad, the fight scenes cheesy, and generally for the shine to have gone off it in the fifteen years or so since I last saw it. I was so wrong. The special effects - well, there aren't any, really. Bit of mist, a red filter at one point, that's it, and it's better for it. The fights were realistic - no showy maneuvers, no martial arts, just guys trying to get the sharp end of the sword into each other. The setting is perfect. And the plot was fairly solid, down to small details like Robin not knowing how to use a sword. I was charmed, and I'm looking forward to seeing the other episodes now.

Y'all wish a warm welcome to mytholder, newly arrived on Livejournal, and bringing the Irish contingent one notch higher.

Sunday morning, and it's an unfocussed sort of day. Breakfasted, dressed, considering going to the cinema this evening, changed keyboards around so as to be better able to write with the laptop, and now wondering what to do with the afternoon. Times needs writing, as do about a dozen other things... and there are some changes to be made to Greenwood Games too.
