stuff and stuff

It's been a slow week this week, not a lot going on, apart from the awesome Rogue Nation. But the past few days has seen some goings on.
First and most interesting is a film that I caught a few minutes of while my Mum and Dad were watching it; it's a film called Girl House, and while I overlooked it at first, having glimpsed a few minutes of it, I think maybe I should give it a chance, at first glance it's a porno slasher flick, nothing interesting there, but from what I saw, I don't think I'm giving it enough credit, maybe I'm wrong, and it is just a run of the mill slasher film, but what's to lose, I guess.

Meanwhile I think I've found somewhere interesting to do some photography, I couldn't get much about it from my brother's girlfriend, who lives literally a 2 minute walk away, but she calls it the pit, according to her it's an old mine entrance, and I went down there a few days ago. While I didn't take my camera with me, I snapped a few photos on my phone, I couldn't get into either of the buildings, one of them being under water and the other surrounded by a 4 foot wall of nettles, but I will go back there, and I will go prepared, I'll take my camera, and I'll get some photos, not before doing some research and finding out what 'the pit' is, if it's a mine entrance I'm sure I'll find something online.

I'm getting creative again, long ago I made guns out of cardboard, they're what you'd expect from cardboard, crap, but, if only by a little, my ability did improve over time. A few months ago I made one for my nephew, I really put in the effort, doing all the calculations and planning, all that was different was the scale, it was scaled down. I actually really liked building the smaller models, so here we go again. I'm building a scaled down DMR from Halo, I'd made the gun I made for my nephew before, the Assault rifle from Halo, but DMR is new, so this will be interesting. Next week will hopefully be more eventful, I mean, Gears of War is coming out next week, meanwhile I've devised a new system for movie reviews to insure I do 1 every week, and finally The Strain starts again next week, I think, too late to review season 1, but expect weekly Strain reviews. Also, the photos on the post should have been cropped, but today I upgraded to windows 10, and it has been a fucking nightmare, thank god my mum is a wiz with computers, because I'd be a Luddite if she wasn't. And now I can't download anything  from cloud servers, so these photos have been uploaded directly from my phone. That advert for widow 10; "she won't  have to worry about security, she'll log in with her smile," that advert is bullshit, 'she' will have torn all her hair out and smashed her computer to pieces and snorted the dust if she had to put up with what we've put up with today.
