this<\/a><\/b> is what I did during the weekend. I had a great time, needless to say.<\/p>\nThere was a great deal of trepidation involved in watching Blue Planet<\/i> at the IMAX theatre. For one, my attention span nowadays is the equivalent of ….ok, I will ditch the hokey cliches and just say – it’s short. I’m not exactly the someone who enjoys National Geographic documentaries. Plus, I was sleepy, after all the traipsing throughout the day. But the visuals of Blue Planet<\/i> blew me away. I wonder how I would like to see Return of The King<\/i> on an IMAX screen. Aah!<\/p>\n
I played a lot of games the past two days. GTA:VIce City<\/i> is on hold for now, I wanted some gore and blood in my life, so Unreal Tournament 2003<\/i>, Unreal 2<\/i> and Return To Castle Wolfenstein<\/i> provided them in ample quantities. Although all three are mostly about visual eye-candy ( i find that I prefer the original UT to the newer avatar), Wolfenstein was good, especially after the initial levels are crossed and the supernatural presences start appearing. I played it until 3 AM yesterday, with the lights turned off, and I couldn’t get used to how brilliant the graphics were. <\/p>\n
And there was this two-volume set of The Complete Monty Python Scripts that I picked up from MR Book Stall. A collected edition of James Thurber’s short stories ( 90 short stories, to be precise). <\/p>\n
And the first Elric of Melnibone book. It’s been a very, very long journey – me and Elric, and I felt really nostalgic when I read this book. It also made me feel quite old. <\/p>\n
Also watched Pirates of the Carribean<\/i>, which wasn’t as good as good as it was made out to be. Except for Johnny Depp.<\/p>\n
