Thursday 6th November 2008

I need advice from those of you who are more computer literate than I. Though I suppose as most amoeba's have more knowledge this shouldn't exclude too many of you..... I've scanned the photo of Carole and I onto my PC as a PDF file. However, this blog site won't upload it so I'll need it in a different format. Suggestions?


As this, like much more in life than I'm comfortable with, is too advanced for me there will be no new photograph's on today's blog. Sorry. Will an old one suffice?


Just one of my favourites from quite a while ago, I'd guess about 20 months ago. This was before we even moved to Inverurie. I think this was probably one of the first times he even registered the fact he had a dad!
On a different matter, I've almost finished watching "Stranger Than Fiction", which was almost great but lacked the resonant punch required to shift it from decent to great movie territory - a real wasted chance there. I'd like to see "Wanted" now, the one starring Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy. I've been reading the graphic novel it's based on and it's evil! I'm guessing the film will be a much more homogenised version!
Enjoying mum's blog, but wondering why she's watching the X Files now, over a decade after they were first shown on TV? I know what happens next but I won't spoil it for you! Well, I won't as long as you agree to babysit Luca one night? "Saw 5" is out in the cinema's and I want to drag Carole along. There's not too many revolting horror's left we haven't seen, we may be a bad influence on one another!
**Useless fact of the day - A study by researchers Kristen Harrison, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and Joanne Cantor, University of Wisconsin, Madison, shows that long-term effects of horror movies can linger even into adulthood. They found that 90% of the participants (more than 150 college students at Michigan and Wisconsin) reported a media fright reaction from childhood or adolescence. Moreover, about 26% still experience a "residual anxiety"**
