I LOVED that episode of spooks! And we had Lucas in a purple shirt again which makes everything good :D

Also I have been persuaded to see Paranormal Activity - this might turn out to be a big mistake!!!

Randomly I found out that a tv series is being made of "The Pillars of the Earth". I read the sequel (can't remember the name) to it a while ago and liked it, so a tv series made me excited.

So then I went on the website and found out Eddie Redmayne is in it!!!!!!! Now I SO can't wait! The rest of the cast line up is really good too.

And Glorious 39 is coming soon!

I am so excited by the next episode (4?) that I am breaking with my usual habit of only watching on Wednesdays, and watching tonight - can't wait!!!

(even if my icon is a little outdated :D)

( waters of mars )

My new hot man :D I may have to go and watch all the films I've not seen him in yet.






And he's German! I could practice with him - or maybe meet him next year when I go there :D

(why wont the pictures show!)

I feel ill, listless and annoyed at everything - and I have so much stuff to do.

I just wanted to show off the icon exoticrooftile made for me :D
And that to get it I deleted the first icon I ever got, *sigh* time moves on.

This mainly for me, since when I have been away for a while I usually forget how to do the simplest things. But I am making it public incase it is useful for anyone else as well.

In all of them remove the space next to the < and > at the beginning and end of the line. And when [ and ] are used replace with < >.

My Spooks 7 dvd came today, and made me smile :) I can be unsocialable and watch Armitage tonight, and not even feel guilty cause it will count towards dissertation :)

P.S. I love the weather at the moment.

I have just given in and ordered Spooks 7 and All the Small Things - I really should not be buying things, but..... they will make me happy! :)

Also got the book to go with the Hairy Bikers Food Tour of Britain - should be good.

Can't wait till Spooks starts again!! (ps. does anyone actually know why the dvd took this long to come out?)

I am so ****ing annoyed at my Uni. The module choices in History were uninteresting this year, so I chose the best one and then began to quite look forward to it. And then TWO weeks before term starts they email to say sorry but they've changed it from term 1 to 2 due to 'reasons too long to go into'. Two weeks!!! They don't even sound like it's that much of an inconvenience! I actually can't change it I'm afraid! I do have other modules. I have spent a small fortune on books, and started to read a bit (though not as much as I meant to) - and suddenly I have to change. Arrrhhh!

Bryan's glare will show you how annoyed I am.... be afraid.

I only just caught the advert saying that Merlin starts tomorrow night!!! Can't wait. Though I will be watching it on iplayer - I am outvoted 2 to 1 by X-Factor! It is so not better.

Major Bryan Dick obsession surfacing again at the moment!!

I would like to really recommend this film. If you want something that's clever, appreciates its audiences intellect and always keeps you guessing. Best film I have watched in a while :)

It's about the rivalry between two magicians, and is full of trickery and illusion.

I think i have done this before - but the list might be different so: (edit: it's not, but I have highlighted some different book, must be my memory)

Apparently “The Big Read” assumes that the average adult has only read 6 of the top 100 books they've printed.
Wow, really?

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Reprint this list in your own LJ so we can try and track down these people
who've read 6 and force books upon them ;-)

I have also added if I have seen a film/tv of the book.

( library this way... )

Which I make to be 40 books, pretty good going for 21 years.

Also: These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded. Bold the ones you've read, underline the ones you read for school, italicize the ones you started but didn't finish. (I tend to finish books, so again will italicize those I really want to read).

( this way )

which is 20 of those...

Jesus that show is heavy going......

Damn Torchhwood, damn damn Torchwood

( SPOILER )

Edit: ( I need to continue the rant - seriously, really )
(contains Robin Hood spoilers since I have brought it into the conversation)

I would just like to highlight to people my new obsession :) Legend of the Seeker!!!!!!

If you have not seen it try it (on youtube - can't find the dvds). It's like a cross between Robin Hood and Lord of the Rings - with the whole fantasy fighting evil thing!

It's based on a series of fantasy books by Terry Goodkind - which not read before but now want to try. The series is really good though cause it's 22 episodes long which means you can really get into it. The filming in amazing!!! was done in New Zealand in HD - plus they know how to frame their shots and do their editing. Which I know someone complained about with Robin Hood when comparing it to Merlin.

Oh and the main guy gets cute as you get used to him and the girl has an awesome dress!!

Can I just say that minus the (complete) lack of canon I quite liked that episode.
