From over at Kottke…..

The Criterion Collection:
” The Criterion Collection The Criterion Collection just launched their new web site, complete with the option to watch several movies online. It’s $5 for a week rental and that’s applied toward the cost of the film on DVD or Blu-ray. Not sure about the quality…the excellent intro movie on the home page says ‘high quality’…not sure if that means HD or what. There are only 17 movies online — including Au Revoir Les Enfants, Solaris, and Lord of the Flies — but they’ll be adding more as time goes on.

Update: Another one for Crumpet

The Hardman has recently become quite a fan of Shaun the Sheep, and the Wallace & Gromit experience. So much so that he has a framed picture of Wallace & Gromit that he carries around the house with him.

Tonight, Kym found an old W&G address book hiding in the kitchen, and gave it to the Hardman. He loved it.

While he was flicking through it over dinner, Kym remarked that she hoped they’d better do a new Wallace & Gromit film soon, as Peter Sallis is getting quite long in the tooth.

Only moments later, as I was making pikelets and catching up on some RSS mojo, I spied this piece of information:

Wallace & Gromit - A Matter of Loaf and Death Comes to BBC One This Christmas:

I think I’ll be watching The Box closely for this one.

Buy Wallace & Gromit box set from Amazon

I just popped over to Jerry’s blog to try to catch up on the last 2 years, and found a post about this year’s NaNoWriMo. In it, he offered three reasons that taking part in NaNoWriMo is a Good Thing for people:

1. They are being creative. Rather than switch their brains off when they get home from school or work, they are switching them on. This can be habit-forming.

2. They are committing to something outside their usual routine. Consistency is the key to success and it takes a special kind of commitment to do something outside your comfort zone. This can be habit-forming.

3. They are making something. It may suck, but the balance of human endeavor will be tipped just a little more towards “worthwhile”. They are producing rather than consuming. What have you added to humanity’s list of accomplishments lately?

While I read that, I felt a little better about this challenge I have set myself.

Now that I realise I am 62 minutes away from midnight, I am a little more hesitant to smile again. Lola is due to wake in an hour or so, and I am wondering if I should take that opportunity to begin….

Oh Lordy yes, this looks like some fun.

We’re in limbo.

Waiting. Waiting. Filling the time with nothing.

Life exists in pictures, sometimes. Here are some pictures of the Hardman and I making pizza.
