Rugby: Australia v Ireland at Lansdowne Road. It started at roughly
1:30am in Australia. A pretty crappy match, with O'Driscoll out injured and
the Irish number 10 somehow having an off day. Latham played well and the
(starting) front row didn't cave in.
Hal Hartley's The Book of Life. In some ways (due to the cast)
this feels like a failed attempt to recapture his
magnificent Henry Fool, and in others it seems like a dumbed
down version of Surviving Desire. Let that not dissuade you, this is
a Hal Hartley after all. PJ Harvey is wonderfully languid as she
cuts a swathe through millenial New York.
