Steel

Last night I was watching a few episodes of The Twilight Zone on DVD. The first one was called "In Praise of Pip" and involved an alcoholic bookie who, on learning that his son has been seriously injured in Vietnam, is filled with guilt at not having been a better father, and then given a chance to make amends. The second episode was called "Steel" which starred Lee Marvin as an ex-prizefighter in a future where human boxing is illegal and only robots are allowed in the ring. The third episode was called "A Kind of a Stopwatch" and involved a loud-mouthed bore who is given a stopwatch which has the power to stop time. They weren't among the best episodes but they were still pretty good. Later on I saw a repeat of an episode from the latest season of Peep Show.

It was another fairly uneventful day at work today. At least it's the weeekend now. I got an invitation to the 50th birthday party of someone at work. The party is being held in a bar at the end of February.
