Feeling connected

[mtbc]

Away from my family and homeland, one thing that keeps me happy and feeling connected is media from familiar sources, especially live media. This afternoon worked out well, I started listening to BBC Radio Cornwall and found that they're doing whatever the BBC local radio version is of syndication where they're playing Rima Ahmed's show and she sounds far more Yorkshire than Cornish to me, which is also comfortingly familiar, given my early childhood in the north of England, even if not quite that far northeast.

I am doing okay right now, I have made whatever food I felt like (having ensured plenty in stock), washed up, and am now relaxing with some merlot, wondering if I might like to watch a movie. One of the gifts I received is the director's cut of Dark City (1998); I've seen the theatrical release, in the cinema, back in the Before Times, and I look forward to seeing this cut.

I remember that scene at the end of that movie where you see the entire back wall of the city in its grandeur. Very interesting film, wouldn't mind seeing it again.

Definitely some good views toward the end there, where a cinema screen really helps. It's one of many movies I liked rather more than other viewers seemed to. I went ahead and watched the director's cut yesterday, flows along nicely, I'd say that's the one to see, I'm glad of the extra dialog and the lack of initial explanation.
