The 80th Post - Melbourne, here I come

Well, this is post number 80, hurrah!

I have come out of my week-long melancholic streak which I get from time to time, and began last Thursday due to a few different things.

According to Websters dictionary, Melancholia is: "A kind of mental unsoundness, characterised by extreme depression of spirits, ill-grounded fears, delusions, and brooding over one subject or train of thoughts." So there is the story of my last week. Hurrah for that being over.

I now only have 2 days at work standing between me and my Melbourne holiday, which should be good for the soul. I need to get away (*sings* I gotta fly... away... - not sure what song that is, but it sprang to mind as I typed).

Hopefully while I am down there I will get a bit more of a handle on the short story I am working on, I think for inclusion in The Witching Hour, which as I have mentioned before is reverting back to the original premise, following the plot becoming too convoluted to follow properly. I am thinking of retaining Shaitan as a regular cameo character between tales and times though.

Review: The Incredible Hulk

The new version of The Incredible Hulk hands-down beats the old one (which was shit). I actually enjoyed the film, which was interesting because I have never been a big fan of the green dude. I thoroughly enjoyed the battle sequences, although towards the end, I really hoped that the rotors from the crashed chopper would see action as swords. I love Liv Tyler, she is my current celebrity crush, and Ed Norton pulled off the character of Bruce Banner quite well. Overall, I was impressed with this version, and I caught myself enjoying it at more than one point. 3.5/5.
