And the Nominations are in ...
Out of these films I’ve only seen The Kings Speech, The Social Network and Inception, but obviously I have previous allegiances (for example I haven’t seen, Biutiful yet, but I want to and I like Javier Bardem) so here is a code for my interpretation of the list :
Want to win
Wouldn’t mind winning
Really don’t want to win
And then after each list I will say who I...
“There’s been a lot of glamorous financial news in the papers lately…multi-media...”
– Part of Gregory Peck’s speech at his reception of the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award (I think it was in 1989)

Oooh Dearie me.
Firstly, Itunes has so many 99p rentals now I’m spending more than when they had normal rentals. This is bad, but crafty.
Secondly, I can’t wait till I make my omelette. Granted, it’s not the most accomplished signature dish to have but my omeleetes are something else.
Thirdly, It’s the FNA today, or as I like to call it Flipping ‘Normous Agnony. It may sound weird,...

Thank goodness for the internet
It’s very scary ebing diagnosed with any illness, let alone one that gives you more risk of having cancer, but the hardest thing is when you know no-one who has had it.
And so I sat down a few days ago and had a good long google, and I found a lovely lady who sent me a really long reply, and has been as useful as all the doctors I’ve seen put together.

Started watching my presidents DVD yesterday
It’s so interesting! I am now better informed on the Louisiana purchase, the civil war and basically the first third of the presidents (after a while my mind just started hurting, and next time I watch it though I’m going to take notes).
Also it made me less patriotic again (this seems to be happening every day - remember I’m English)
Watching Barack at the DNC made me feel a...

I officially have Cowden's
There’s so little information on the internet, and what there is is just copied from wikipedia.
I don’t know how I feel.
Scared mostly.
I'm dissapointed again Jodi Picoult - Perfect...
Ok, so she shoots a man, in the head, in front of a judge and gets a suspended sentence????
I don’t care that there’s some legal loophole in Maine that lets you kills someone if your angry enough ( which by the way, is surprising it hasn’t led to a crime outbreak), she killed a man - an INNOCENT man, by the way , she should have been put in prison.
I think this is a case of...

Word to the wise Tumblr...
Maybe get bigger servers? I swear half the time I try to log on I get ’ We’re incredibly sorry for the inconvenience’
Yeah whatever.
Anyway…
Jodi Picoult books are so easy to read. I made a rule that I can’t read two in a row, because a while back I read 4 or 5 in quick succession and just didn’t enjoy it very much, but they are so much easier to read than...
I'm quite Perky today
Makes a change! I’ve been proper grumpy for about a week, but it’s all looking up. Do you know why? Going to the Zoo!
Whenever I get scared about something, I always knock about 10 years off my age and try to forget it, so today I am going to a gardencnetre with my muvver, and then going to a Zoo, maybe getting chips and then Hopefully watching Everybodys Fine, with Robert DeNiro...
“‘At the University of Natal in Durban, I was told the church to which most...”
– Bobby Kennedy
I know very little about the Kennedys ...
I am British, and I did JFK’s assasination in history about 5 years ago, and I’m not old enough to have lived through them. I’m trying to learn though, As I’ve said many times, America fascinates me, and especially the politics.
Anyway, I never realised before that RFK was killed when He had entered the race to be presidents, after he had won the California primary....

Found this about Inception and whole heatedly...
BillPaxtonsSecondBiggestFan
After Kermode’s Top 5 I re watched Inception again (which I loved in the cinema and put in at 3 on my top 5 of the year). Now, on second viewing, it’s dropped out of my top 5 because it simply isn’t as good second time around. Here’s the flaws that became apparent on second viewing. !!!!!CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!! The most obvious flaw (and I...

Mum's Birthday today
Happy Birthday Mum:) And also my presidents DVD boxset came today (10 hours for £10 - Bargain - thanks Amazon)
Watched about 15 minutes so far and it’s amazing.
So generally feeling good today. My Geneticist is mean to ring to so it’s all looking up x

Got the Job!
Cool huh? Also I”ve got a couple of weeks before my induction which is nice, it can be like a holiday because I don’t need to worry about finding a job. I’m very nervous, but it’s long enough away I can forget about it for a while.
I just watched Last Tango in Paris and it is amazing. I was a bit worried it would just be soft porn, but it wasn’t, it actually had some...

Actually Screw That
I’m still feeling pretty down. You know when everyone doesn’t want to see you at the same time? That’s hit me at the moment. It’s like yeah ok, whatever I’ll just stay here and retreat further and further into the little nest I’ve made for myself. It’s tough, being on a Gap year. As I have said, MANY times before, I’m not a particular social person,...
Hanging round here today
Waiting for the call or not call from Budgens. I don’t know what I want to happen really.
Oh well.
Feeling slightly better I guess. Not a whole lot. Dad’s lost my medical folder so that’s great, It would be nice if he would leave thing where they are for once.
Also, I really want my weights for my Davina DVD.
That is all.

People need to realise there is a difference...
EXACTLY.
That I think is the worst thing about this Knob who is blatantly just trying to sell Diet pills or something, people automatically want to take the opposite view (so size zero -hero- to size zero- disgusting) and then people who are naturally thin (and there are many, many ) get victimised when they do nothing wrong.
He’ll go away soon. I didn’t even want to give him this...

Not in a great mood today.
Particularly since the job interview (which I don’t think very well, but doesn’t qualify as a disaster) I’ve felt all scriggly. It feels a bit like a hair ball, but it’s not a hair ball, just below my collar bone, I can feel my fear. It’s a mixture of everything though, not just fear, anger , guilt. Self destruction. And it’s always there, but sometimes I...
Job interview today
Argghhhhh. I wasn’t nervous last night but now I am. It’s at 3.45.

Happy New Year :)
Mine was quite emotional, but also quite useful, and I feel all gee’d up for 2011. I’m definately getting out there more. In December I barely saw anyone! This year, I’m not going to go clubbing or anything, because it doesn’t really interest me to be blunt. Also I don’t think I should be aspiring to actually get drunk, just because everyone else my age does. Fair...
