WATCHING 'The Hurt Locker'
I’m in Oscar Watch Mode, and going strong. ALL THE WAR MOVIES!! My favourite part of this one is definitely when Sergeant James (Jeremy Renner) is standing in front of an aisle of cereal and you begin to realize that while everyone else was counting down the days to the end of their rotation, James counts down the days until he can return to his bomb-infested paradise. Overall, if you like...

READING for Midterms
I hate the world. But mostly the only books I don’t want to read in it. Which are strangely enough the ones I must read for marks.

READING 'Goodness'
A fantastic Canadian play about sharing others stories, specifically traumatic stories, and how much license writers have over the lives of others. This play features the author, Michael, as a character who goes abroad to investigate the Holocaust due to the suffering of his Polish relatives. What he finds is a woman with a story that hardly satisfies his need for justice, but that plays a part of...

WATCHING 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'
So this movie was quite boring for AT LEAST an hour. Don’t get me wrong, it was reasonably fun watching Benedict Cumberbatch dash around looking pretty for the first bit, and somebody gets shot, which is always interesting, but overall the first hour of the movie is mostly just a lot of old guys talking. True to the time period, the women in this film lack a certain, shall we say,...

READING 'The End of the Alphabet'
TRAVELING IS HAPPENING!!! This makes me inordinately happy, because I accumulate lists, and one of these lists is a list of places I want to go, and this book is making that easier. Amsterdam, anyone, for Van Gogh’s cafe?

READING 'The End of the Alphabet'
This book is actually pretty off-handedly hilarious. Quite a depressing concept, but it’s working so far.

WATCHING 'Sherlock'
And it did nothing to dispel my mood. I actually watched it Sunday, but you may have (probably not) noticed an absence on my part. This is due to the shittiness that is currently my life, and now John doesn’t even have Sherlock!! Well, at least Moffat and Gatiss didn’t completely run away with the original plot laid out by ACD, but I’ll admit that for a minute there, I was...

My cereal box, and regretting it, because in order to create a ‘Limited Edition’ cornflakes box (WHY?!?) they were forced to place the creepiest painting of a child in existence on the front of the box.

WATCHING 'Great Expectations: BBC Miniseries'
Not to be confused with the 253,796 other versions of ‘Great Expectations’, the BBC 2011 version is quite spectacular in its own right. And I am not just saying that because the lead actor (Douglas Booth, yes that dude from ‘Christopher and His Kind’) is spectacularly good looking, I’m saying that because the entire series was spectacularly good. It didn’t try...

READING 'The End of the Alphabet'
Not really sure what this book is about yet, although the title character is dying. And the book is meant to be a comedy. Not entirely confident in this one.
