Force

Whilst the Tories are running out of excuses for their moribund existence, the Corbyn bus is trucking onward. He is already proving himself adept at slinging back brickbats and diatribes against him. Tough times still ahead but IMHO he will be a deflector against them. To borrow obliquely a term from Star Wars "May the force be with him"

Random Thoughts From The Panopticon

Another exuberantly fine sunny day, if a little chilly at first. That is to be expected as we tumble towards October. And whilst it may feel slightly autumnal, we are in a late flowering of warmish weather by the late afternoon and may it continue. I will be heading of to Sevenoaks today as i could not face doing it on the Monday. Once i have fulfilled that mission i will be trekking by bus a journey up to Bromley to complete my last field job of this month. I have already been debriefed and will infiltrate the charity shop sometime this afternoon. They will not know i am coming.

Sorry, that military implantation in my head kinda kicked in or was it the fact that i have been imprinted as the actives in Dollhouse without revealing it. Yes, dear reader, i have completed the first season of Dollhouse. Verdict :  creepy, invasive and utterly brilliant, especially if the imprint became viral and the unsuspecting public find themselves , specifially their bodies and identities, taken over by an extremely wealthy plutocracy that want to invade other bodies by extending their own miserable lives (Epitaph One episode).

I knew that Eliza was an incredible actor but here, and as producer, she has excelled herself. I also like the idea of the Panopticon in which the "actives" sleep whilst in a non-engaged situation in which the mind is a tabula rasa before the next imprint. Creepy as hell in fact. A little historical perspective here, as the Panopticon was a type of institutional building designed by the English philosopher and social theorist Jeremy Bentham in the late 18th century.

Picked up two DVD's - Deja Vu and Equilibrium

Plus these paperbacks -



Tomorrow, will be a day f relaxing before the next load of visits.

Messing About On The Medway

My brother and Graeme have been messing about on the river, the Medway to be precise, and these photos he took are riveting and amusing.
