River Cruise, Rocknerd, Star Wars
Dec. 31st, 2015 01:20 pmWent on a river cruise on Monday with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
caseopaya's immediate family up the Swan River to Sandalford Winery. The cruise, meal, and wines were all pleasant enough. It was quite a scorcher but we all managed quite well. Throughout of the journey I could reminisce about times in my childhood stomping around the muddy banks of the Swan River and especially Heirisson Island (I am sure that's an alternate spelling for 'Hedgehog Island'). The real highlight of the tour was when a pod of bottlenose dolphins swam past, quite far upstream. It is unfortunately quite rare to spot these delightful inhabitants.
Whilst originally supposed to go on The Dwarf, I've just published a review of The Charlatan's album 'Modern Nature' on Rocknerd instead. Not exactly their greatest work; others thought higher of it. I am a little surprised actually that Rocknerd doesn't have a whopping big article on the death of Lemmy, who has boarded the silver machine.![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
reddragdiva probably wants me to write it.
Also took the opportunity this week to see The Force Awakens. It was average-good as a whole, I quite liked most of the characterisation (Emo Kylo Ren really is a great parody of the weakest character) and of course the repitition of the previous basic heroic narrative. It is very derivative of earlier films (almsot to the point of being ridiculous), and has some terrible plot flaws. So I can certainly understand the more recent mixed reviews that are coming in.
