Culmination not aberration

Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg while unloading his gun for the bouncers at a New York club.  The gun was unlicensed and thus he’s facing a minimum of three years in prison.  Seems like there are a LOT of people in certain situations in America who go around carrying unlicensed guns.  It’s a bit like drunk driving I guess – loads of people do it, very few get caught, if you get caught you get an extremely hard punishment.  The approach to a hard-to-enforce crime is to make the punishment more severe I guess.  Thought provoking.

I’m almost back to being able to work on Synapse.  Just a couple of weeks more on TV work and I can get back to it.  I can’t wait.

I’m watching the Terminator TV show.  It’s pretty good, and is unusual in that it tries to make every episode like a mini film with a structure very similar to Terminator 2.  It ends up being a bit slow for my liking (each episode has a LOT of reflection.  More than Desperate Housewives.  In fact, imagine the stupid narrator bits of DH that happen at the start and end and make them twelve minutes long and you have it), but it’s very original and pretty good.  I don’t think it holds up to multiple-episode sessions as well as, for instance, 24.

The demo of L4D has finally downloaded after a week of trying.  Will be interesting to play it.
