Logan's Mexican Run

It's about ten hours until I need to wake up to go to the airport again... But this time it's for me! Yes! I'm off to Mexico for the weekend, which will truly be excellent.

Been reading up online about Mayan temples in Yucatan. Also called Australia for an hour and a half this morning - gotta love Skype. Then called my parents in Cape Town for an hour, and chatted with James for about 45 mins... a lot of phone and e-mail happening today.

And now watching "Logan's Run" while chatting to two people simultaneously on MSN. Now, I know that I'm not really doing the movie full justice by multi-tasking, but I'm really just watching it to reinforce my background education of classic sci-fi. I mean, it may have won the 1976 Oscar for special effects, but I don't expect to be blown away by the awesome explosions and oh-so-futuristic sets...

Hmm...

Not bad. Probably better to see it back in 1976, when the whole "post-apocalyptic uber-controlled closed society with a few scattered survivors still living outside" was still novel, but it was still an interesting story.

Very "Soylent Green" kind of feel to it. I suppose that's just how the polyester-clad 70's generally depicted the future.

Anyway.

Bring on country number 28...
