In pursuit of the perfect sandwich

Okay so I've been experimenting with different sandwiches lately, you know, throwing together whatever's in the cupboard, or whatever I think would go well together.

I just took a bite of my latest sandwich, and it is delicious. Now, I'm one of those awkward people who neither loves nor hates marmite, but I enjoy eating it, even though it tastes like it belongs in ones ear. Although, today I fancied it, and in the cupboard there was Tesco alternative Yeast Extract (now with added vitamin), so I very lightly toasted 2 slices of brown bread, and then splashed some soy sauce on (no butter), and then proceeded to spread on my Tesco alternative Yeast Extract (now with added vitamin). It is delicious. God knows how, but it just works.

In other news, I downloaded the Resident Evil 5 demo, and although none of you probably care, it was amazing. In fact, I may email Capcom and congratulate them on such a generous demo. Or maybe thats just the Tesco alternative Yeast Extract (now with added vitamin) talking, because there were some flaws with it, but overall I will be buying this game, and I have been pant-wettingly excited about it for some time now.

I watched Death Note on Film4 last night with Aaron on msn. I always like it when 2 people watch the same film and talk about it over the internet, its just nice. Anyway, the film itself was very good, and the anime looks alright too. I can see why Japanese fanboysandgurls make such a big fuss about it.

Speaking of geek. Watchmen is out on Wednesday, it would be lovely to go on opening night, but I think I am going the week after, which is awesome none the less. It looks like they really put the effort into this film, which is very relieving, because usually on big chances like this, they fuck up monumentally, or just don't pay attention to little things, which ruin it for the avid fans/massive nerds. They actually hired a scientist to work out if and how all the shit would work. And the director of photography actually used the famed graphic novel as a reference to how the whole thing will look, which I am unbelievably happy with, because as we all know - comics rule. And again, just that attention to detail. Apparently some script changes may not mean its entirely great (they have to cater to everyone, meaning they most likely dumb the whole thing down, flatten the characters and make it predictable and balls) BUT I guess we'll have to wait and see, I will remain optimistic.

The Watchmen crew is so nerdy it hurts:
Zack Snyder is directing, he also did the Dawn of the Dead remake. The guy who did the cinematography for Lost is doing it for Watchmen. The editor has previously worked on Fantastic Four 1&2 and I, Robot. The producers have worked on films like Hellboy, Tomb Raider, Predator, Timecop and The Dark Knight. And here comes the holy shit moment - David Hayter, the guy who voiced freaking SNAKE in the Metal Gear Solid games is doing the screenplay. I think I am having a nerdgasm. This is just too much.


You stay nerdy, San Diego

  1. Yeah that was immense man. Joint film watching avec MSN is always lovely.
    HEY i'm sure i've told you this but what you need right, what you need, is Oxo cube on toast. NOT Tesco value oxo cube equivalent, that just tastes like salt on bread, but a real genuine oxo cube lightly crumbled over buttered toast, oh man, not a lot beats it. Credit to James for that one.
    LOL @ nerdgasm. Snyder also did 300 of course. So he knows his green-screen and visual effects yes sir.
    Talking of games you should buy, you seem to have neglected Tom Clancy's HAWX. obviously just an oversight.

  2. Tom Clancy's HAWX of course, you know, I saw the advert, and it looks pretty good. I've always been one for the Splinter Cell or should I say noiarce. Maybe I will get it, looks like its worth a go, I will investigate.

    Oxo cube on toast. It sounds very delicious, and come to think of it, why didn't we feast on it over cubemas? Whoopsy!
