Took a wee break from Scripto today and found myself ingesting a few new savoriesI read a sample chapter of Vampirates: Demons of the Ocean. Wow. Now that's just bad. Here's a taste:
The Magnum Space Opus doesn't seem so awful now, does it?
The storm seemed to come out of nowhere. It came at Grace and Connor just when they were at their most vulnerable, out beyond the harbour in the open ocean.
It didn’t give them a chance.
The sky changed colour so fast, it was as if someone had ripped away a sheet of blue wallpaper to reveal a gaping black hole.
Also watched Pi. I have four things to say. Awesome, awesome, and also awesome. The fourth is as follows: shame on you Wachowski brothers. I knew The Matrix was stolen, but I didn't realize it was that stolen. The blinking command-line prompt? Scrolling numbers? Multiple monitors and loads of hanging cables? A man standing in complete whiteness? Sentient computers? A Massive Attack song? A subway showdown scene? Shame.

I still need to see Pi.
I'll just stick with that, and avoid any Vam-Rates hanging around it. Ouch.
That rated somewhere between Clive Cussler and your garden variety Volgon.
