I finally had the opportunity yesterday to watch the film "Sunshine", which given my recent lamenting over the demise of Sci-fi in general, was most welcome viewing. Although I'm well aware that the film probably borrowed heavily from several other Sci-fi films I've seen (I'm thinking; Space Odyssey: 2001, Event Horizon, Alien, Solaris etc.), I have a sneaking suspicion that it was more of a homage to those films rather than outright copying. Anyhow, I had seen mixed reviews, but the trailer looked really good, so I can inform you that the film was definitely worth the watching, with a good blend of action and suspense.
So, tomorrow is a big day for me. My first day teaching, although I'm not sure just how much teaching I'll get to do, but after this it's going to ramp up sharply too 13.5 hours per week, by the fourth week. What I'm trying to tell you is that I might not have much time to post here over the next four weeks, ot at least not to the standard you might have come to expect. Well, I'll do my best, but I have voluminous amounts of paperwork to prepare, so just be warned. It's quite annoying really, because I like to put a little bit of thought into my posts, but I'll have nothing but teaching in my head for the forseeable future. Perhaps some ideas will spill out from the classroom, let's wait and see!
