for your information, David...

The answer is yes, no, maybe - whatever. I am channelling my inner Tori Spelling. Could be worse.

I am in recovery from my weekend seminar at the university, where I had to valiantly overcome my natural tendencies to mumble incoherently and PROJECT my voice so a lecture hall could actually hear my fascinating insights into Ancient Egyptian mythology & religion etc etc in 2 one and a bit hour sessions. Aside from accidentally switching all the lights off (I don't know how; something to do with their high falutin' touch sensitive control panel), I was convincing and quite enjoyed myself.

Though I have been informed by sources close to me that if I insist on making my amusing "jokes" during a lecture I might want to signpost them a bit. At least I didn't say "curse-ed" this time round.

Aside from that the only other news is that my DVD player refused to play "Downfall" (Christmas gift from mum - genius), but was quite happy with "Cagney & Lacey". Who knew?

Is that the Berlin Bunker film? Cool, if a little weird as a Chrimbo prezzie. Did you get the Scorpion King in?
