Snippet: Make Mental Note

Note to self: Read Homer’s Odyssey (I’ve always wondered where the story of the wooden horse of Troy and the children’s TV series Ulysses originated) and then Macbeth and Hamlet.

TV: Wow! Europe hates us

EurovisionFirst of all, congratulations go to Turkey for winning the 2003 Eurovision contest with Sertab Erener’s “Everyway that I can” (even though it reminded me a lot of Shakira’s “Whenever, Whereever”).

However, I’ve found out that Europe must hate us, because our entry of Jemini’s “Cry Baby” left Eurovision with a great big fat zero – zilch – none – “nil points”. That’s right: for the first time in the 46 years, the UK failed to gather a single point. I’m actually shocked as I didn’t think our song was that bad!

Movies: Guess Which Movie I’m going to see?

Despite this post having the inital title of “Guess Which Movie”, it isn’t part of the “Guess That Movie” competition (which, by the way, has round 58 unguessed), but rather me getting a little bit excited at the movie I’m going to be seeing tomorrow.

Basically, I’ve managed to get my boss to treat us all for a “staff afternoon out” (we’re closing around 1pmish) and we’re all heading down to a cinema to see a certain movie: and I bet you can all guess what it is….

Whilst it has been having mixed reviews, the trailer that I saw last night on TV (around 3 minutes long) clinched it for me and I’m really looking forward to seeing it now! Especially since SSCW will be going as well and we’ve been getting on quite well recently.

I’ll let you know my thoughts upon my return.
