    Just got back from a workshop on the "Physiology of Trauma". Quite interesting and a very good presenter.

    ProDeo What a day for a day dream

    Got up for the approx. 29,200 time in my life. This includes the naps in early and recent life. Now taking my approx. 131,400 coffee and then lighting up my approx. 510,860 cigarette. Then later today I will take my approx. 18,000 paracetamol. As for the positive stats, there are not so many or it must be that I am married for 15,065 days and still love her which is not such a great achievement if you would know her, the great achievement is entirely hers once you learn to know me.

    However, there is that one real good thing about me: my humility. I excel in that and are so proud of that.

    As Mark Twain once said "I was born modest. Fortunately I grew out of it."

    Rewatching director Justin Kurzel's 2015 adaptation of Macbeth - Michael Fassbender as Scottish General Macbeth, Marion Cotillard as Mrs (Lady) Macbeth.


    Tremendous.


    Unnerving battle scenes, however, and the murder of Duncan is graphic.

    On a mission to lose weight (once again). Last Monday I weighed 207.4. This morning, 205.8. A modest 1.6 lb. loss in 7 days.

    The best way to loose weight os slow and steady.

    Just watched "Mad Max. Fury Road."

    My favorite auto: 1939 Fargo (Dodge) pickup on 60" Big Foot tires with super-charged v8.

    How was Fury Road? Been thinking about watching it, but have been on the fence.

    I thought it was fun - a great diversion.

    The action rarely stops and the imagery is great 8)

    I saw it in the theatre and it was by far the loudest movie I've seen. It is essentially one long car chase for 2 hours. I did not find it as good as all the reviews I heard, but maybe I was expecting too much. Anyway, it is a very fun film, and it's full of great practical effects.

    If you're looking for a Mad Max movie, don't watch this. It's NOT Mad Max.

    If you wan't to watch Charlize Theron steal the stage from a mumbling Tom Hardy, then enjoy.

    That should set my expectations nicely then (I wasn't really expecting it to do justice to the previous films).

    If they had replaced the mumbling Tom Hardy with the silent Ryan Gosling from Drive, would he have been a better protagonist?

    Another complaint I heard was the choice of colour saturation, heavy on the oranges. If they kept it closer to the lighting in Road Warrior, which is pretty much regular daylight, I think visually it might have been better.

    Colour saturation -.- They use it a lot in video games too, to the point where people develop tools to remove it.

    Oh, and as a possible good news thing for myself, somebody wants a quote for some map making work. Crossing fingers that it will work out.

    You'll need a transom, rod, chain, parchment, ink, and a good quill.

    Oh. And good boots and pemmican.

    :)

    Or a GPS and Google earth, whichever you can get your hands on.
