Came across this site just now while looking for the lyrics of Tom Lehrer’s song “The Elements”: The The Movie Clichés List. While I’ve seen some of them before (eg, the Computing ones), it really is so true…

“Dear Santa, I wrote to you but you still ain’t callin’, …

… Christmas is just around the corner and snow is fallin'”

Finally, it’s the Christmas holidays. Took long enough, eh? It being the last day today meant there were end of term activities… I’m on the Activities Committee this year, so I was partially responsible for setting up the Computer Challenge in the morning. I went to Battle of the Bands in the afternoon though, which was very good. Tug (Richard)’s band was rather, um, interesting, and delivered a great performance. But it was Via Tomorrow who won, also with an excellent performance – when Rory gets up on stage, he is quite something. Tom’s site (Tom being one of the members of the band) has a bit more on their victory. 😉

So… holidays. What to do? Well, on my computer-related todo list:

• OpenTTD for OS/2: get it working a bit better
• TTDAlter – get version 4.3 finished and out
• Hmm… other stuff which I can’t actually remember right now

On my non-computery-todo list:

• Tidy room! It needs it.
• Relax
• Get through all the ROTK commentaries
• Eat
• Unwrap presents
• Eat presents
• Watch TV
• Go to yon Entertainment Evening. That reminds me, must practice a magic trick for it…
• Lifeguard training at some point
• Likely other stuff too

(notice how I put everything on a new line, making the thing look much bigger? :))

And, on that note, I will sign off.
