shall we not

it's called gratitude and that's right

Things i'm loving at the moment:

1. My mood seems to have been completely lifted by the wonderfulness that is Charlie and The Chocolate Factory. Went to see it last night and it had my smiling throughout- i don't get why Tim Burton is allowed such a huge budget to make his films but i'm glad he does. The style was amazing and as someone said, "he should be wrapped up and opened at Christmas". It was also perfect to see in a packed cinema (Orange Wednesday meant that UGC was mental). All the cast were great even in the small roles like Christpher Lee as Willy Wonka's dad and a personal favourite; one of the stars of a personal favourite film of mine (Josie and the Pussycats) plays Veruca Salt's mum-class.

2. Watched Danny Wallace's how to start your own country on 2 as well and that was great. I particularly liked the fact he had "Everything is fine" pamphlets. I have always wanted to protest with a banner saying something along those lines such as "Nothing to Complain About" or "You're doing great".

3. My blog titles are always really long-hurrah! I nearly called this one "It's like having a delicious meal" again a nod to the Beasties but that's more in the delivery

4. Word Count; 7,765

5. Tommorrow is Friday

6. Keeping my masculine cred high; i spent ages reading Elle's jeans issue (it was kicking round the house). I miss not having Em's or Mum's copies of Vogue and the like.

7. Peanut m&m's - the king of confectionary and adding to the enjoyment of both 1 and 2.

  • yeah, 'everything's normal', classic. i felt a bit sad after some of the abuse he got though (like someone putting 'wanker' on his leaflet). i emailed him suggesting he call his country 'mighty hawk'. he's not replied.

  • How do you manage to write so much for your Phd and so much on your blog? Where do you get the time?

    Should be playing footie on saturday (hurrah!) and will try and make it more often now.
