Uncharted, Salt, Woking and a new bed fellow

It's the TIGJam weekend, so bateleur is in Cambridge. This means that, because I'm a bit of a wuse about sleeping on my own, Reeve was invited into the bedroom. Despite my concerns that I'd be woken up at some unearthly hour (like 6:30 - the weekday get-up time), Reeve was very well-behaved. He settled down on the other side of the bed and didn't once wake me (he might be ruder about me - I got up several times in the night). The absence of bateleur has also meant I'm on my own with problems - my black necklace has broken (but might be fixable), the downstairs boiler has broken and Ryan is ill.

Another consequence is that I've spent the last couple of evenings re-watching Heroes season 4 (my first rewatch - I've just seen Hysterical Blindness).

What else?

• Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - I'm not sure whether to describe this as a computer game or an interactive movie. A mix of First Person Shooter and some very easy Tomb Raider puzzle sequences. It's very pretty (awesome water effects), hard work for us non-FPS people, but mostly worth it for Claudia Black (Aeryn Sun of Farscape) and Steve Valentine (Alistair of Dragon Age Origins) playing the voices of Chloe Frazer and Harry Flynn. Oh, and maybe for a bit of the game play as well.
• Salt - Probably best described as a female Bourne/Bond. The story's not bad and Jolie is good in the title role, but ultimately not likely to be my film of the year because the plot isn't brilliant (and, despite some better reasoning, the bad guys still hit that "because we're evil" button).
• Woking Festival of Dance - My experiences of Woking are that it's easy to find and horrific to navigate around either by car or on foot. We got there in the end; Bea danced and was disappointed not to make the top three (actually top four - they told the boy he got fourth). However, there were seven dancers and she's the youngest in that category. She scored a respectable 81 (we got the score sheet on Friday). And I might take her again, given enough time to get over the panic of this one.
• Meteor - The two parties have finally gone off in different directions, so this may be the end of bateleur's two characters visiting the same places. The parties are also carving rather different roles for themselves with very different attitudes to the gods - although I think the most hated god is the same in both parties.

I’m also continuing with Recettear (I’m in the Obsidian Tower and have more heroes) and I may have a crack at continuing with Crisis Core later on today; I've already had the whole Nibelheim Reactor sequence so I reckon I'm near the end.
