Overwhelmed

[Permanus]

I usually log onto this site at about seven in the morning (BST) to find that about twelve or thirteen new posts -- tops -- have been created since the previous day; sometimes JulianPerez and TELLE are still up, all the way over in America, making posts in the wee small hours.

This morning, I log on, and what do I find? THIRTY-SEVEN NEW POSTS. Wow, people went to the cinema last night, am I right?

I went and saw the Da Vinci Code against my better judgement.  It was the last night for it and I was underwhelmed.  The kids were filling up the Superman theater and I have no desire to endure that kind of first-night crowd so will probably wait a week or so.

It is 6:30 am.

That's the sort of crowd I had when I went to see The Incredible Hulk; I ended up walking out of the cinema and still don't know how the film ends, which isn't a great loss, to be honest.

It is 6:30 am.

Did you just get up or haven't you gone to bed yet?

I was surfing around and checking email right before calling it a night.
