It's the new collage season starting up soon....
If you'd suddenly won a grant to do an evening course for a few hours a week, and it's convinient for you to do it.... what would you pick?

It's not really doing the lesson in the view of getting a job, more just for a bit of fun.

You got any hobbies? I quite fancy doing a bit of archery.

Probably some sort of coding.

You don't really need to go on a course to do that if you just want to do it as a hobby.
There are vast amounts of info online.

Most of us programmers are really just professional googlers with basic programming skills.

Ben Affleck as the new Batman?

I'm very upset about this. If Zack Snyder isn't taking it seriously, then neither am I. Fuck him, fuck Affleck, and fuck a third thing that I have yet to decide upon.

People said awful things about Ledger as The Joker and he pulled it out of the bag.

The Batman he is playing is retired Bruce Wayne.

Hmm. He knows he can't mug it up.

Thing is, they can't do dark, brooing, disturbed Batman, because it won't fit with the JLA stuff they're planning
And if we wanted cartoon-y Batman, we'd wacth Adam West or any of the cartoon shows. I think they're desperate to compete with Avengers and have left it too late. Also, who wants to watch a movie of each of the following:
Wonder Woman
The Flash
Aquaman
and so on. Answer? NO ONE. They're better off carrying on with Batman and Superman as separate entities.

It will be loosely based on a frank Miller novel from what I can tell so will be similar to Bale in DKR

I want an in-car phone dock. Not a shit cradle thing, but something that has a secure place for you to put your phone, that will connect to your radio for music and your cig lighter for charging.

Get the mic and speakers wired in and all that.

The trouble with Brodit is that they're brand-specific.
I'm getting a new phone in October, there's no point spending £60 on something that'll only work with my current one.

I've never been very good at collages.
I'm not a 'big picture' kind of artist. Granddaughter No 2 is off to college this time round, studying art and design. I'm kind of jealous of her being able to do that.

I think if I was going to do an evening class, I'd either learn Polish (quite useful where I work) or car repair and maintenance (quite useful for not being ripped off at service & MOT time).

My hobby, apart from High End Gaming obvs, is my design blog stuff. Hosted by a very nice person who didn't even need bribing ;-)
