Jim’s leak.

Hey, sorry I didn't get this up sooner, been a bit busy with other things. Anywho, I thought this show was pretty awesome. Apparently I was wrong in thinking War Of The Worlds started out as an lp when it was first made. It was, however, a film ages ago. Then it was made into the lp. Then we had the most recent film and finally hte musical show which i saw a few days ago.

The setup was a large (ish – prolly about 20-30piece) orchestra on one side of the stage with a band on the other side, which comprised of a couple of guitarists, a bassist (possibly 2) and a drummer or two (I couldn't really see them that well). The sound was great, big loud orchestra .

The musicians were sitton on the stage in front of a huge film screen which didn't appear to be projection to me so it was probably rear projection or something. But they used this to show film clips of the aliens walking around on mars and landing on Earth etc, but they didn't use it so much that the whole thing just became a film which was good. Also for certain scenes they had actors/actresses on stage acting out sections and singing etc.

The only downpoint I would say is that for a big musical show, it didn't feel all that much more special than just listening to it on cd, apart from the fact the music sounded better.

Also, on a quick note. I made this picture last night. I guess it is slightly relevant, almost looks like the Earth after the martians move in and all the red weed covers the Earth.

Please ask if you wish to use this photo. And thanks to ROSIE for the stock photo .

Technorati: War Worlds photo aftermath

At school at the moment, don't have a lesson right now so I thought I'd update this. Anywho I'm going to work later, joy, at least working mid-week is easier than Saturdays because there are less time-wasters. Oh well, I'm going to see the original musical version of War Of The Worlds played live at Wembley Arena tonight with a big orchestra and band. Should be pretty cool.

Heres todays photo. I actually really like this one. As always, please ask if you wish to use it.

Technorati: photo nature environment

Ok, It's not really like me to use this blog for this, but hey here goes, I need to have a rant…

I wanted to go round all the employment agencies today because I would like to sign up with a temping agency or something like that. I went to 4 different employment centres in Uxbridge today (Saturday – the busiest retail day of the week) and every single place was closed, this pissed me off so much. This means anyone who is currently in a job they dont want to be in any more, has to take time off or quit to be able to start looking for another. Just plain stupid.

Ok, thats enough.

I believe this is probably quite true…

How evil are you?

I've now watched the first two episodes of series one of this program. The episodes are aroun 11minutes long and its a great show. It's basically a stop animation sketch show. There have been sketches taking the piss out of the cylons in battlestar galactica, the transformers etc etc. I thoroughly recommend it if you're sense of humour is quite dry.

Technorati: robot chicken 

Heh, in the words of the chuckle brothers, oh dear oh dear…. My mate sam posted an article about a leaflet he recieved today. Read the article by clicking here.

But if you can't be bothered to read that, basically he phoned them up and heard what sounded like a dial-up modem and thinks its funny that a business is still using dialup lol. I thought about just leaving him a comment on his post saying that what he's done is phoned their fax number, but I had to put a post up about it because its too funny lol.

Ok, the title of this post puts it nicely, basically what this post is about, is fat american kids. I know the media sometimes choose to portray things in ways to make us think in certain ways, but I have just read this short article from New Scientist and I believe it is very truthful:

"First we find out that Las Vegas emergency health care responders are having to "super-size" their stretchers and ambulance facilities, as many obese patients are now simply too big to be safely accommodated.

Now, it seems like it's the children's turn to become too big for safety devices. More than a quarter of a million US children ages 1 to 6 are heavier than the weight limits for standard child car-safety seats, a new study has found, and most are 3-year-olds who weigh more than 40 pounds.

Are anyone else's alarm bells ringing here?"

This is terrible, children are obese before they are even 6 years old?!… and a quarter of a million at that! Thats just insane…
