Bloody finally. Why does LJ insist on my password having numbers in it when that makes it so hard to remember?
Anyway, this week in brief:
Those Alex Rider novels; Yassen is either Alex's dad, or he fancies his pants off. Jury's still out on which is more likely - Horowitz doesn't seem like the kind of writer to push the boy-molesting envelope, but let us not forget that Yassen is ginger and nobody sleeps with ginger people*. Also, Alex is quite clearly not Russian.
Miami Vice sucks. I didn't want to believe it, but between Jamie Foxx's stupid painted-on hair and beard, Colin Farrel's 70's gay porn star moustache and goatee combo and the fact that the entire plot is basically Smuggler's Blues amped up and stretched over two hours, it's a dire viewing experiance. Also, playing a crappy remix cover version of In The Air Tonight is less of a shout-out and more a case of adding insult to injury. If there had been some aligator-related hijinx, or maybe if Gritty!Norties!Sonny and Rico had actually cracked a smile throughout the entire affair, I might have been a little less harsh, but as it is? For shame, Hollywood. For shame.
Alan Campbell's Scar Night should make it onto the To Be Read list of anyone with taste, anyone who likes fantasy, anyone who likes boys with wings, creepy religions, dystopian visions of the future, assassins, the devestating effects of biological warfare or, in fact, anything that is good.
*This has been scientifically proven. With science! Or at least with stern authoritarian figures wearing white coats.

that picture is Bray not amber.. see how he wears ..um.... ok well the hair is different, (and totally not gay) and that's not salene, i just smudged lex. (OH NOES LEX GOT SMUDGED!!! *sadcries* -bray)
also you realise that you just proved the unshagability of ginger people with pharmacutical-beauticians who are themselves usually orange. i wasnt sure if it was actually the right people i was stereotyping so i went to debenhams to check and OMG Fully Orange! except this one lady who was maybe 30, maximum and had the leathery skin of a 60 year old. she did our make up for us. it was Super cool.
p.s. i found a ty beanie bear in our GIANT-Toyshop-of-MYSTERY!(and super cookies)(tm) and it had a tie on and the tie said canada so i named it wilson and carried it around untill we had to leave the toyshop and i left it in this barbie four-poster bed with a little american bear i named house only house didnt like the bed cause it was pink and had princess written, like, Everywhere. Also i couldnt find a cane for the housebear so i was all -sadcries- and only a cookie could cheer me up. Yay! Cookie!
