Jelly

I have been craving jelly for some reason lately, and after finally persuading my brother to buy some from the supermarket, it was time to go on holiday. Thankfully, my Gran is some sort of mind reader and I had a fix of the strawberry variety in Wales. Today however, the craving returned and it was time to bring out the jelly.

Sadly the rest of the day was not quite so exciting. In fact I spent pretty much the whole day watching catch-up TV and early series of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe, something that I failed to understand several years ago, but now - along with his new series You Have Been Watching - am totally addicted to.

Watching Sunshine last night really confused me at the beginning and only now am I actually starting to understand. The second half was the weirdest bit with a sort of subliminal messaging typed sequence whereby super quick flashes of pictures of what I assumed to be the crew of the deserted Icarus I appeared on the screen. This didn't make me feel scared as such, but more confused and that coupled with the eerie distorted screen effect whenever the undead captain appeared just made it feel weird. The fact that the film was directed by Danny Boyle also puts me off watching Slumdog Millionaire, something which I have been putting of watching for months now. Lets just hope that one is a bit better, and seeing as that won pretty much every award going, I am hoping for something great (if I ever get round to watching it that is).
