BRAINS!!!

I think I'm turning into a zombie this afternoon. My brain is totally shutting down, and I think I need a fresh infusion of nice steaming brains before anyone's going to get any more work from me.

In other news, we finally went into Cambridge to see PotC III last night. This (the experience, not the film) was not as usually fun as normal for two reasons. Firstly, while in the restaurant half an hour beforehand, the fire alarm went off, and the entire block, including the cinema, was evacuated. We were finally allowed back in some 40 minutes later, at which point, we had barely time to pay up before hitting the auditorium.

Secondly, shuffling zombie hordes of Marillion fans had just left a gig at the Junction when the film finished. Since it was (a) a sell-out gig, and (b) Marillion fans have a fairly high car ownership rate, this meant a frightening queue for the pay machines in the car park, and then a 15 minute queue just to get out of it. As the tickets had been paid at the machines some time beforehand, they were re-expiring before the cars reached the barriers ...

I've not heard the post-Fish stuff. I have one album of theirs (whichever has Incommunicado and Uzis on a Street Corner on) in the car stereo, which tends to get skipped due to the incredibly self-indulgent repetition of anything Fish thinks particularly deep. Or (as bellinghwoman says) particularly difficult to sing. Such as the word Incommunicado.

With 40-50 albums in the car auto-changer, it's frequently weeks before it comes up, but it's time I re-ripped the CDs.

We did get sort-of tempted, but (as I said) it was already sold out, so we carried on hanging around outside waiting for the cinema to reopen.
