Technology - bah!

I am gradually learning that there are some things not to buy over the internet, electronic equipment being the thing that springs to mind right now.

On a more positive note, a quick recommendation: if you have the chance seek out the film In Her Shoes. It came in and out of cinemas here in the blink of an eye, not helped by the trailer that made it look like a bog-standard rom-com/chick flick (not that I don't enjoy the odd rom-com or chick flick I hasten to add) but it is a much more interesting film than that. It is directed by Curt Hanson who made the excellent adaptations of both L.A. Confidential and Wonder Boys.
