Weekends are short for no reason

So another weekend ends just before it starts. How, why and who decided the weekend would only be two days.

Its a question I am sure Wiki will have an answer for, but not the one I want. So why do some weekends seems to go so quick when others just drag and drag.

The rain had a good go and putting paid to archery outdoors this weekend but so did a metal screw. Funny how things happen.

Another couple of minutes and I would have been out in the wet shooting arrows. I must admit archery is beginning to get under my skin, which is very good.

Its the relaxation, the fun, the clearing of your mind, concentrating on just that target, drawing back and letting go.

Amazing how much actually goes into shooting one arrow.

Also amazing what can go into a weekend including allotment work (rain permitting) and even euro-song thingy.

And some of the shows do seem OK to watch - Something for the weekend certainly is good and like the name says has bits of everything. A working live Sunday paper almost.

But of course the weekend goes so quick, you end up having fun, relaxing and then that point draws close when the weekend finishes and the week approaches.

Late night posts

Wondering what makes a blog these days since we now have twitter and facebook amongst other things. People have so many places to leave their mark or make a comment or just rant.

So many people now are authors without knowing it, poets without feeling it and journalists without a newspaper.

People use blogs for almost anything now, to rant on a football match, comment on a new film that raises its own issues and just to tell anyone who cares to listen just how they are.

And who gets to say whats in a blog or what can be written about.

Well that's just down to whoever writes it, however they write it. Problem is many will put their soul on the line (or blog) and then hope. Some use this as a way to start a debate they might not wanted to start. Others just ramble from time to time, I know I do. Its a way to empty my thoughts, make me see something, sometimes stop me from writing rubbish.

Still a blog is a web log so they say - which is odd as a log of the web is not what I write. I don't write a log of my web work else that would be very annoying. Went to the BBC, surfed the Apple site, listened to The Navy Lark while surfing the BBC site again etc.

So a post late night as you can see. Maybe this makes sense, maybe it don't.

Late night posts are they worth it?

Well trying a post from the iPhone while watching F1.
Wonderful win for Button again he is reborn for sure. It shows that Button has always been a good driver now we all see it.
Well short post see how this goes.

First Blog

Ok so the web site has been re-designed, or more importantly I picked another theme from iWeb. Very simple, very easy. So my first blog entry. What to say what to put. It could almost be as bad as twitter but you have more characters and maybe less bad than FB. How many places can one keep writing the same old same stuff or do you just write it once and then point every one to here?
I dont know and I suspect many will have different answers. So what is a blog? Its short for web log or should that be short its self for Captains log? Now is that in internet terms a clog? Or should I write these as Captain’s log.
I will from time to time add more into the short stories bits but they in turn could be blogs or even clogs.
Maybe I will start a campaign for clogs.

Anyway first whatever done

Thoughts on a Film

Well the wait was over for many people, Trekkies. Yes the new movie was out today as a preview.
After seeing the new Wolverine film I did wonder if the new Star Trek could give me the same buzz.
More on Trek in a moment.
Wolverine was very well done, very close to the comic book (ok moved to this era) but fast paced, good story, good action and good fun. For those who have not yet seen it I would recommend going, it is money well spent.
Jackman is Wolverine there is no doubt on that. The rest of the cast support the movie very well, the direction never made me feel like I needed more or was waiting for anything.
There are a couple of funny moments, twists and the odd special appearance towards the end.
Overall 9 out of 10

Now Star Trek. JJ Abrams had 3 ways to go with this , find a new Enterprise 1701-F and a new crew or start from the beginning and show how the original crew got together. Well he went with the second choice and as the trailers say - Star Trek is reborn - in more ways than one.
What words can you use to sum up the movie, well awesome is just about right. The Enterprise looks great, the cast work brilliantly, the script is Star Trek at its best and more, the effects are first class and the movie is well balanced. Who could not like this?

I am sure there will be the odd one or two who will pick holes in the plot - why, its a movie enjoy it. Pick holes in history films instead, a few come to mind but for this one you cant. It works.

If you want to see more of this then enjoy it else Trek will fail and it will end in my humble view.

I wont give the plot away I am sure I will talk to people about that when they have seen it.

Oh yes overall 10 out of 10.

Thoughts on a film - If you felt that you spent your money well, then its a good film as my sister said and I agree.
