Had a quiet Sunday. Went for a drive and to visit a Christmas store, did some stuff on the web, and watched a film -- Castle in the Sky, by Japan's fabulous Hayao Miyazaki. One of his earlier films (1986), it started a bit slowly, but built impressively, looked absolutely gorgeous, and was quirky and inventive. Like most of his films, this one comes VERY highly recommended! After that we went in to town with my friend Kenny to see the RTE 2FM 2moro 2our. It's basically three bands on a tour of Ireland, sponsored by RTE 2FM. This is the third tour, and we saw the first, which was really good. The bands didn't impress me too much this time, although one of them -- the woefully named Ham Sandwich -- were quite good. Still, it was a nice night out, and we didn't get back home and to bed (after a guilty trip to Abrakebabra!!!!) until 02.00.

Slept in late this morning and didn't do too much later, apart from answer emails, watch more of The Sopranos and Twilight Zone. Also saw the recent documentary about Wal-Mart, and how poorly they treat their employees -- fairly shocking to see a company getting away with behaviour like this, but corporate greeds runs rife throughout the world, I think, and here it seems to be at its purest and vilest. I also posted my notes for Demon Apocalypse to my web site at last. I think the notes for this one are particularly informative, as far as trying to explain how I put books together when I'm working on a series, BUT I don't recommend you read them unless you've read Demon Apocalypse, as they contain MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS!!!
