Fish Magic, an allclear and X-Men

So an update on the Brain Thing; I had my MRI today which was not nearly as freaky as I had thought. I lay on a slab, got pushed part way into a tube and was bombarded my magnetic pings for a bout 15 minutes. I fell asleep halfway through.
Tomorrow I pick up my results and its back to the GP for a follow up. I figure if was really serious they would have wisked me a way there and then.
So looking good all in all!!

Last Sunrday was one of those fishing days where the fish are using their magic to fuck you up... ('cause they do have magic, I seen it. Yup!) I swapped rods before heading off, usually a bad sign, this had a lighter line for better casting and sensitivity. The problem with a lighter line is it does not work too well with a strong crosswind. I lost 2 hooks and a foot or so of line before I even got to cast in! All the while the temperature is dropping, my beer force field is waning and the darn hands are freezing up!!
Didn't win the trophy and the fish I did hook was a really good un, but me reel was busted and the drag didn't kick in... the fish shook the hook out!!!
Boy, I tell you whut... if I didn't love it - I'd wanna know why I was doing it.

My review of X-Men 3
Have you seen Men in Black? Do you recall those memory wiping devices? If they could do that, give me my money back and replace my memory with a good fishing trip... I'd call it even.

It was shite, shite in all its possible glory and variations. It was Highlander 2 bad. It was Daredevil quality. It was up there with the worst and still I wanted to see it. I should never watch movie trailers, or perhaps the people that make the movie trailers should swap with the people who make the movies. I don't know... but it did suck arse.
How the hell did they get financing?? How the hell did they convince so many people to come back for the third film??

Time for the healing to begin I think, at least we've got superman to look forward to....
