[Wednesday 12th September]
Not much to report really. Made Japanese curry for dinner, and then spent the remainder of the evening watching things on TV, some recorded, and some live (for a change). Included in this was an episode of Heroes. This show seems to have received rather a lot of hype, which I initially found very off-putting, but I have found it to be actually quite entertaining, even though I have only seen a few episodes, probably in the wrong order, and don't really get what is going on exactly. Probably my favourite thing about it is the Japanese character (conveniently Hiro is actually quite a common name in Japan, so seemed an obvious choice).

I also watched a documentary on BBC Four about the effect of Protestantism on politics throughout history. It was interesting that the show identified many socialist political movements over the years were actually founded in Protestantism - from the initial formulation of the Labour party here in the UK, to the civil rights movement in the US - both Keir Hardie and Martin Luther King were Protestant preachers, it transpires. Not that this necessarily matters all that much, I just found it interesting.
