Sustenance

[I wrote this entry just before leaving work, but Blogger wouldn't let me publish it. So I'm backdating it to that time.]

Thumbs up: Woolworths Select Raspberry And White Chocolate Cookies – dense and intense! Eat four for brekkie and feel the sugar rush!

Thumbs horizontal: "Eternals" (Marvel Comics, 2007) – In a hardcover collecting the seven-issue series, Neil Gaiman retells Jack Kirby's myth of space gods, immortal guardians and militant mutants with a magician's flair. Sadly, excepting a few pages involving the Celestials, John Romita Jr's art is mediocre. The back-of-the-book bonuses are generous – alternate covers, Gaiman interview, Kirby essay, etc.

Thumbs down: "Hyperdrive" (ABC, Wednesdays, 9.30pm) – as disappointingly unfunny as "The IT Crowd". Decent spaceship sequences, though.

Now I'm off for KFC, then the opening night of the play "Men At Arms" (based on the Terry Pratchett novel) at Sydney Uni's Seymour Theatre Centre.
