Run! Run For Your Lives!

The Best Of 2008

So I hope you all had a lovely Christmas! And, even more importantly (!), I hope you all enjoyed the Doctor Who Christmas Special. I certainly did, though I spent most of it admiring Dervla Kerwan’s pretty red dress (yeah, so I’m a big girl, so sue me). And was I alone in thinking that [...]

Tidings Of Comfort And Joy And All That

It’s Christmas Eve! I’ve already eaten enough to feed a small army! I have no work to do for a whole week and my flat is toasty and warm and I have a stack of DVDs to watch and life is oh… so… good right now!
I hope it is for you too. Have a wonderful [...]

I Promise To Stop Blogging About Obama Soon. Honestly.

…But how could I resist posting this? After seeing a bare-chested Obama on the front pages of several UK papers today, here’s a clip from a US TV show discussing it:
CNN – Shirtless Obama Seen On Beach
(The host has extraordinarily big hair. I think I like that most of all.)
For the record, I don’t agree [...]

Well, Whaddya Know…

Person of the Year, eh? I’m astounded. Who’d have thunk it?
[Note to self: does sarcasm work when it's written down? Must investigate...]
I bought two of Barack Obama’s books yesterday. I think, once I find the time to start reading them, they will mark my transformation from ‘Obama fan’ to ‘Obama groupie’.
I’m looking forward to it.

Well, bugger me!

According to TV Guide, the one and only Robert Carlyle is going to be the lead character in the new Stargate spin-off, Stargate Universe, due to air in the summer.
Blimey. I never saw that one coming!
And boy, am I thrilled to bloody bits. I think Carlyle is ace – only a fortnight ago I was [...]

Why Zoos Are Funny

So today I went to London Zoo with my best friend Paul and his mum to celebrate his birthday.
I got to stroke a couple of polecats and look a sloth right in the eyes without any glass between us and giggled at the otters and awwwwwed at the meerkats and scared a pygmy marmoset and [...]

Motivational Speeching

As seems to be happening during most of my weekends at the moment, I’m trying to get motivated so that I can actually go and sit at my desk and write something because it’s due to be handed in on Monday morning and I haven’t even started thinking about it yet.
It’s Saturday, 4.30pm, I’m still [...]

Coincidences Come In Threes, Apparently

A few blog entries back I posted this famous shot of a sailor kissing a nurse to celebrate the end of World War Two:

So, yeah. Funny story: I don’t think I’d ever seen that picture in my life until I read this article from CNN on 13 November – Famous nurse recalls WWII photo moment. [...]

It’s Robocop… On A Unicorn!

There are days when I love the internet. And there are days when I ADORE THE INTERNET WITH EVERY FIBRE OF MY BEING.
Today is one of those days.
I stumbled across this article at The Ridiculant and suddenly the world seemed like a much brighter place. I mean, come on – it’s Robocop. ON A FREAKIN’ [...]
