Standing in the aisles with itchy feet and fading smiles

Over at North Atlantic Skyline there is a great photo of the record-breaking almost 50 surfers on the same wave. And elsewhere on that blog is a great shot of the lightening in Galway last week.

As well as changing the colours of the blog, I’ve also altered the sidebar a little. From now on a limited number of random links from the blogroll will show up over there. The full list can be accessed by clicking on the The Blogroll link up above. This is because I’ve started using Google’s Reader/RSS thingy, so don’t need the links here, plus it makes the sidebar shorter, which with this particular theme is a good thing. Although it is still a little on the long side.

I’ve also been to see two films this weekend; The Squid and the Whale is a very well made film[1] about the impact of a divorce on a family. Semi-autobiographical account of the writ/dir Noah Baumbach’s family.
The Devil and Daniel Johnston is a totally autobiographic documentary about musician/artist Daniel Johnston and his struggles with his art and his bipolar disorder. It offers a lot of honesty and insight, but I felt[2] as though the film-makers were a little manipulative of Johnston and his family.

And of course it is Luna Nina time:
