Cooked up a roast for tea tonight. Picked it from IGA earlier in the week. I’d never seen marinated ones at IGA before so thought I’d try it out.

Only realised after I got it home that it had no cooking instructions, so I had to kind of wing it. Turns out I went pretty well. Took about 2.5 hours to cook, and it was awesome.

Didn’t bother with baked veggies this time, it’s too hot here anyway, so I went with just a plain roast beef sandwich.

Also means I’ve got enough leftovers for the rest of the week!

yum!

Went and saw Beowulf tonight. I had watched the trailers or it and didn’t really think much of it. Anyway, with not much else to do at 8:50pm on a Saturday night I decided to go.

Turns out that it wasn’t too bad at all. Perhaps my ‘not expecting anything great’ attitude helped make it more enjoyable, but overall I found it quite entertaining and there was an actual story involved.

The animation was very cool as well. Some sections had me wondering if the images were actual footage of the actors or just animated.

It ended with an obvious sequel lead-in, but I felt like enough had been accomplished during the film that the ‘to be continued’ feel at the end wasn’t at all disappointing.

I’d recommend it for people who like swords / demons / dragons.
