I kissed Bella. And she broke her hand. Punching my face.

Today I had a stupidly early start, needing to leave the house at 7 in order to get to work for a meeting about the company before actually starting work at 9. The meeting was lead by someone from Head Office who was pretty sound.

Once we opened it was fairly busy for the day. The best part however was the Sharp Rep visiting, to showcase the Quattron TV's. I was tasked with assisting her and, as such, being trained on them. As previous posts explain, I consider these TV's to be a con based on the physical attributes of light dictating that all colours in existence are derived from Red Green and Blue. However, the Rep made a convincing display in gifting us a couple of Quattron branded magnifying glasses tuned such that once pressed against a TV screen you can see individual pixels. Sure enough the Quattron has yellow pixels. The lady went on to explain that the extra colour pixel also has the bonus effect of the blacks being sharper and deeper. I questioned how this works, confident in the knowledge that it was a blatant lie as black is created on an LCD screen by the LCD shutter being closed, disallowing ANY light from passing through, yellow or not. She didn't give a real answer, literally repeating the phrase "the extra colour pixel". After this I resorted to thickly-veiled sarcasm, suggesting that Sharp employ this four-colour technology in cameras amongst other technology. She was genuinely interested in my feedback so clearly didn't get the joke.

Tonight I went to the cinema with Florence to see Eclipse. It was actually pretty good in a genuinely decent film sense, not a trashy fun sense. This time they focused on the plot rather than spending half of the running time having silly little flourishes of 'stylish' shots and general annoyance. The biggest thing I was impressed with was that they portrayed the vampires much better than the first two did. Previously they were pretty pathetic and wingey, but in this they are animalistic monsters as they should be. They still have the characterisation in them but there's the dark edge to the whole thing that was missing before. This dark side allows more violence too, with a climactic battle featuring vampires limbs being torn off all around amongst an ultra stylish flurry of good vampires, bad vampires and werewolves. It's short lived but really well choreographed. The CGI is pretty good too, not mind-blowing but the scenes where Bella interacts with the CG wolf are certainly well done; far better than New Moon's attempts. There are a number of gripes I have however; firstly is the shaky cam. Whenever there's a low-level talky scene, the camera is wobbling all over the place, not just in a steadycam style, literally force 5 earthquake style. In theory I understand why it's there, to add some interest to the frame, but I really feel that the beautiful grading of the whole movie adds more than enough interest to such scenes. I found it very distracting when the camera was so lively. My other gripe is some of the acting nuances they seem to have given to characters. I've noticed mostly that whenever Kristen Stewart is required to display an emotion she pulls a brief grimace as though suffering from trapped wind. Seriously, look out for it; "I *grimace* love you, Edward". It is so consistently apparent that I don't think it's fair to say it's a sign of bad acting, more somewhere along the line someone has decided it works well when in fact it looks atrocious. Overall though it is a very entertaining movie and outdoes both of its predecessors. 7/10.

Song of the day is Claire De Lune by Clause Debussy. It plays in Eclipse and as soon as I heard it fading in I decided to have it as song of the day. It's very nice. And I'm so tired that I shall say no more and shall sleep.
