Got a text message a while ago, Brother #1’s girlfriend has gone in to hospital, looks like I’ll be an aunt fairly soon. The parents were en route from Tip when I rang[1] and will let me know whats going on.


NM stayed over for the weekend, but after she headed off today I wandered into town[2] and purchased things. My excuse, I got some HMV vouchers and so must avail of their spend over 35 quid and get a fiver off. I did buy

Linknotes:
  1. it is very foggy in the midlands so be careful if you are driving
  2. okay, so I live in the city, so not that far to wander
  3. Anne, you’ll have to get Serenity now
  4. which I’ve meant to watch on so many occasions, but never have

Brokeback Mountain

  • Heath Ledger - Ennis Del Mar
  • Jake Gyllenhaal - Jack Twist

In a way it is a pity that this film has received so much press coverage, it’d be interesting to watch it not knowing what was going to happen between Ennis and Jack. But it is pretty much known as the gay cowboy film by now, so that part of the plot isn’t going to take anyone by surprise.
