Milk

Last night I was playing some more on Tomb Raider: Underworld which is a fun game, even if some of the puzzles are really frustrating!

Due to the fact that my Dad was playing in a golf tournament tomorrow I went around to my parent's house today. On the way we stopped off to get some groceries. The latest issue of Fortean Times ('The Journal of Strange Phenomena') had arrived with it's headline feature being widespread reports of giant flying snakes seen in the skies over America in the 19th century. I had some sushi for my lunch, which made a great change since I really like sushi, but don't have it very often.

After lunch my mum and I went up to the Filmhouse cinema to see Milk a recent film directed by Gus Van Sant. It was a true-life story which starred Sean Penn as Harvey Milk, who became the first openly gay man to be elected to major public office in the United States when he became a City Supervisor for San Francisco in 1977. It was a really good and very powerful film with a great perfomrance by Sean Penn (for which he won this year's best Actor Oscar).
