That's the Dress Rehearsal for Sleeping Beauty done. Tomorrow we do it in front of a live audience. A sell out of 450 seats. The largest audience I've ever been infront of.


I'm not entirely sure that the Muppets should have been promoting the idea of children talking to strangers. Even if it was all of twelve years ago. It was a dangerous world even then.

ONE MORE SLEEP TILL CHRISTMAS
From the film "The Muppet Christmas Carol" (1992)
Sung by Kermit The Frog

There's magic in the air this evening
Magic in the air
The world is at her best, you know
When people love and care
The promise of excitment is one the night will keep
After all there's only one more sleep till Christmas

The world has gotta smile today


I've wasted so much time this week trying to install Oracle8i on a test server at work. Only now, as I'm preparing to upgrade this test installation to Oracle9i do I come across this little peice of arcane knowledge:


Temple of Raman Ran (Third Level)

Rex thought quickly. There was a rifle next to the overstuffed green kit-bags. And he has his handgun in his hand. The bulk of their little group was four figures. Enough to make the guards hesitate? No, they were soldiers, he realised. Turn and shoot, and hell breaks loose, reinforcements arriving within a minute. Sigh.

"Your jacket," he commanded Hamdija, helping him to take it off. Bemused, but still terrified of his captors, Hamdija struggled out of the too-small jacket

"Wait here," Rex muttered stepping out of the room, handgun at the ready, and started following the figures carefully. They were just in sight as the corridor curved back towards what must be the heart of the Temple. There were five of them plus their prisoner. Four looked like the normal guards, but the fifth towered over them by a skinny foot. Had Hamdija stolen his uniform it would no doubt have fit him a lot better.


I'm thinking of going to the cinema tomorrow night. Not sure what to see yet. These look interesting: Beyond The Sea (Kevin Spacey as Bobby Darin of Mack the Knife fame), Churchill: The Hollywood Years 'History - Hollywood style!' and The Forgotten (Julianne Moore in what sounds like a riff on Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
