Senses working overtime #179

Max confusion 



Another difficult week for interweb activities as my senses this week were largely engaged in work related subjects. 

Then I bought an HP printer and spent a large amount of time on Saturday (my JFTT day) trying to get it to connect and do basic things. Grrr.

Why are these things so complicated now?

So this week's addition is late. Sorry 'bout that, chief.

In fact this week I HAVE felt a lot like Maxwell Smart - some clumsy bumbling daft moments. 

Ar well. You get that on the big jobs. 

On to the jewels...

2 King Arthur - Legend of the Sword



Guy Ritchie's style is instantly recognisable. As I watched his Good Fellas take on the Arthurian legend I wondered about how Margo would have reacted. I think she'd have loved it!



3 Underground




One of the week's highlights was getting the train into Londonium a few times and riding the Underground.

I. Love. The. Underground!!

For some reason waiting for a District or Circle line train at Monument gets me very emotional. Weird.

4 Emirates

Met up with Randy and Patrick at Emirates last week to watch my team take on and beat Everton. From a Director's box no less. 

Glorious sounds!! We're north bank, we're north bank, we're north bank Highbury!

5 Ponti's Italian Kitchen



We had dinner here on Friday night with old friends from Nu Zild - Steph and Duncan. I've been there loads of times but by Friday night my brain was fried and I forget A) where it was and B) its name. Eventually the fog cleared and we got there!

It's a cool place with lovely food. 

Overtime Frank Zappa - Roxy By Proxy
This was on high rotate in the Purdmobile this week.

Senses working overtime #37

This is the second (or maybe third) week I've been in London to do the senses working overtime.

What an amazing city - yes there are problems, yes there are crowds, yes there is more rubbish on the streets, yes there are many smokers still but I can live with all that because there is an energy and a buzz and a sense of being that I don't get anywhere else.

But anyway - enough of me - what has assaulted my senses this week? Let's get to it...

1 2016 has rolled around
This is a pretty cool summary of 2015 (in four minutes!)

2 Emirates
omg OMG OMG OMG

The smirk says it all!

I took the tour last week. It was beyond awesome!!

3 Movies for 2016
Looking forward to a lot (A LOT) of these 2016 releases

4 Jazz noises
This little post from The Guardian is pretty cool - a run down of the best jazz noises from last year, including a great track from Polar Bear.

5 Hitchcock
These story boards from Hitchcock's films are works of art in themselves.

Overtime
1 Margaret Drabble
Here's another reason why I love reading The Guardian.
