Indie

So we went to see the new Indiana Jones film this evening. That's almost three hours of my life I'll never see again.
Even a cast of not Just stars but real actors, Cate Blanchett, John Hurt, Ray Winstone, Jim Broadbent and of course Han Solo, couldn't save it.
I realised at some point that the what-passed-for-plot was moving towards the end and I felt a sense of relief.

An item that has been in the news this week is about an advert on Craigslist advertising a newborn baby for sale for $10K. The parents were arrested but no charges laid. The father, and for father read fathead, says he put the ad in as a joke. And hilarious it obviously is. The mother of the baby isn't his girlfriend anyway he said, just a friend, no, his girlfriend has a three-month old baby. He has a long rap sheet for petty crime, but hey, at least he's passing his excellent genes on.
