I really hope that Jurassic World is good. I really want it to be good. The first time I’d watched the trailer it didn’t really do much for me. I remember thinking “Oh look – a super-dinosaur, and look it’s managed to escape its ill-equipped cage”. But nonetheless I am going to go with an open mind.

Just fleeting thoughts that pop into my mind. Or perhaps things I’ve been thinking about that don’t really warrant a full-on post.
I was happy to see the billboard for the new series of True Detective today. Very excited for that one.
Its finally come to the episode of American Horror Story I’ve been waiting for — Jessica Lange’s cover of Lana Del Rey’s Gods and Monsters.
Can’t wait.
I think I may be getting a little bit obsessed with my document outline.
I’m surrounded by a thousand women doing zumba.
Pulled pork roll at the Peel and Stone
I love the web. Fridge packs up last night – and I’ve already found a second hand replacement to pick up tonight. Boom.
Me and the hamster are listening to Fleetwood Mac and installing Ubuntu.
Tonight I had the pleasure of watching Kung Fury with a mate of mine. It was bloody brilliant.
Thoughts on The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin
In the tale of Squirrel Nutkin, the titular character is a young boy squirrel who keeps getting up to mischief. The other squirrels are all busy collecting nuts whilst Squirrel Nutkin tries to wind up old Brown – an old owl whose home is close to where they are collecting nuts. By the end of the short tail, old Brown gets fed up of Nutkin and physically deforms him – I won’t spoil it as to how.
I wonder if nowadays Squirrel Nutkin would be recognised as having some form of ADHD or similar? And would be handled accordingly – instead of old brown maiming him. Even in just the first two books by Beatrix Potter I’ve read, I’m noticing a theme of “If you play up or misbehave, you get punished”.
Nevertheless a good read.
Trying to get ownCloud installed tonight. Firstly having to install a fresh copy of Ubuntu.
Thoughts on The Tale of Peter Rabbit
The Tale of Peter Rabbit was an enjoyable little read. One thing that did stand out to me was the fact that out of the four rabbit siblings, the three girls were the well-behaved ones and Peter, the only boy, was the naughty little one who snuck on to Mr McGregor’s land. Was Beatrix Potter biased or am I reading too much into it? Nonetheless an enjoyable read.
