A screwup at my ISP has resulted in me being without the benefit of a home DSL connection since Friday, and it will be several days yet before things are back to normal (am currently using dialup). Expect blog updates to be sparse in the meantime.
Of course, this has resulted in me being late with the weekly mood board:
Have been pre-occupied with matters pertaining to job-hunting and classes. Have also bashed out a good chunk of email correspondence, which accounts for all the text on the board this week.
Standout bits of media consumption:
- saw Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason on DVD. Having now consumed the two parts of the Bridget Jones saga in both written and filmic varieties, I can say that the first part of the story is the superior of the two in both media. And of the four pieces, the movie sequel is the weakest -- still OK (I was reasonably entertained), but just not as good as the others.
- Broken Spindles is another musical discovery for which I have dirtyradio to thank. The work is likely to appeal to both indie and electro fans. You can download three songs for free here. "Induction" is a moody, atmospheric tune with a cinematic quality to it, while "Downtown Venues" is a more punchy, bhangra-tinged track.
Not much else to add, and I have to sign off and get ready for tonight's class, so I'll end here. See you in a while.
