I went and saw National Treasure 2 last… Saturday? I dunno. It was pretty good; much what I expected, and very much in the theme of the first. The way Wilkinson magically turned into the martyrous good guy at the end irked me a bit; I didn’t buy it; I don’t think they conveyed his… Read more
For a few months now, there’s been a lot of little ants invading my bathroom. Mostly I realised this because they’ve been accumulating, dead, all over the floor.
