Reviews!!

It's been a good couple of weeks and I've gotten some presents, seen a movie and treated myself to some very good things. So I thought I'd share.

First though.
Lunar Eclipse last night (on the Midsummer Solstice too). Yay!
But it was more like $%^*&%@#$ CLOUDS!!!!!
/rage

The movie I saw on the weekend was Tron and it was with some friends from uni. I quiet enjoyed it and it was easy to follow even though I had never seen the "first" one. Nice effects, interesting costumes (wouldn't wear it though), story was ... good. All in all I would recommend it.

Treats I
I went to the Pancake Manor before going to Tron. It was wonderful. Nice servers who were polite and prompt, even though it was busy (gave a nice tip 'cause I was so impressed). The food and drink was delicious. I got a Hot Cocoa with marshmallows and a Regular Stack (three pancakes) with cream and ice-cream. So delicious but I couldn't eat it all, which was a shame. Next time I treat my self I'm getting a Short Stack.

Treats II
On Monday I purchased Minecraft Alpha just before it became Beta. It was interesting and worked quiet well despite being just an alpha. I had a go on a few servers, some of which now do not function because of the change to beta. The game reminds me of Dwarf Fortress, except it is a first person game. I would recommend it to everyone, though if you don't want to pay Є14.99 and then an extra Є20 for the completed game try the free Classic Minecraft.

Review

Plato's Timaeus & Critias

I haven't actually finished reading it
all yet (still reading Timaeus part).
It does however show what the
ancients thought about the world,
anatomy, atoms (four elements)
and the "soul".
It's good for a laugh if your
inclined to such things (anatomy, atoms)
but I need to finish it to place an
overall rating.
At the moment I give it 3/5 for
being unintentionally funny.
