Bond films are best watched on the biggest screen possible, with surround sound.
This I knew.
The sound on my TV is rather pathetic.
This I also knew.
Have every intention of getting better sound to go with it. Any day now. I'm sure.
At the cinema I didn't get bored with any of it. At home the long action sequences sort of lost me. But second time through it made a slightly different sense in the people bits than first time. And everyone was telling stories with their faces, which my hazy memories of earlier Bond films suggest they mostly don't bother doing. Here there was Stuff going on. Actual acting.
... I'm being mean to earlier films.
... which is not new.
So far today I had a bath, did laundry, had lunch, hung up laundry, and am now about to put a second load of laundry in. Towels this time. They'll take half way to forever to dry. My washer/dryer manages the wash half but the dry half I'm not sure I've got the hang of at all. Hence the hanging things up. Is easier. Even if it does mean I've got underwear strewn around my flat and hanging from most every available surface. Probably makes it look like I have more fun.
I'm the sort of bored I'd usually fix with Lit reading.
Unfortunately I'm the sort of tired that suggests sleep would not be of the bad.
Blah.
Also, I have no chocolate.
This probably makes it the longest I've gone without chocolate in my life.
I only sort of miss it.
