No,i'm not going to do anything until the absolute last minute. At which point I will be turned into a headless chicken.

Bookswise
Love the national library for upping the loan quota.

Finished A spot of bother by Mark Haddon which was a brilliant book in my opinion because you don't get too many groovy old man trying to cut off tumors with scissors. Or homosexual stereotypes who are actually being characteristic instead of being the comic relief guy.

"Sorry, but we don't date comic relief characters." giggle.


Oh and also finished Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer which was the opposite of brilliant. However punching a werewolf and then getting a broken arm is made of win.Uncyclopedia probably sums it up best.

"I couldn't have written this book without the help of listening to My Chemical Romance for four hours a day in my basement while watching Gilmore Girls”
~ Stephenie Meyer on Twilight


“Yep. All thanks to me.”
~ Gerard Way on Twilight


“Now that I have Edward Cullen, I'll never have to read self-help books on finding a boyfriend again!”
~ Every teenage girl having trouble dealing with reality on Edward Cullen


“Daddy?”
~ Edward Cullen on Count Dracula

Looking forward to more books.

Watched and loved Enchanted. I never thought Disney could put out something good again after the repeated airings of High School Musical 2. The beginning sequence of the movie was fantastic. Giselle(Amy Adams) had every iconic Disney Princess tilt and shake of head down pat. Even when she ended up in New York. I doubt anyone can pull off the Disney Princess better than Amy Adams, thus she totally made the movie.

Look who showed up as Prince Edward. Beam me up Scotty would probably be inappropriate here.

Waiting around for the Golden Compass to start and hopefully watching atonement on the way back from Hong Kong.

Avatarwise

Avatar the last Airbender must be about the only saving grace of mainstream cartoons credibility.

I mean look at the recent slew of cartoons: Scoobydoo (mixing old animation with vibrant colours is just bad, Yu Gi Oh (any card/monster duel. There is just no point)etc.

You also get its so bad its actually good: Totally Spies(they are just...colour coordinated), Johnny Bravo ( Its out of run but its so freaking funny) etc.

I mean look at the effort put into the elaborate backgrounds alone

And the premise of the show is really good too.

A short synopsis

The Avatarverse divided into four great nation based on their elementals : Water, Air, Earth and Fire. Each nation has its specific elemental control disciplines called bending (airbending, earthbending etc) and each of them has been based on different types of martial arts.

The world is thrown into turmoil when the Fire Nation attacks the rest of the nations to "share" their greatness. Enter the Avatar ,master of all four elements. The avatar's duty is to maintain order between the four nations but due to the fact that the avatar has been missing for a century he has been kind of shirking his duties.

Katara: "Water…Earth…Fire…Air. Long ago, the 4 nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all 4 elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he still has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world…"

Believe me the maturity, subtlety and humor contained in this show is something well worth watching.

Finished watching Heroes which was as awesome as everyone said it was. Season two was a little bit of a let down though, understandably with the writer's strike going on but more could have been done. A lot more could have been forgone.

The will to iconise this series is strong.

Otherwise


Yeah well, its microsoft! Figures.
