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.

*Sigh*

*offers sympathy shoulderpat and tribeslash*

*glomps* Hey, you're back! Yeah, I knew Miami Vice was going to suck. And I saw the original series and omigod Sonny is the hottest and I am so sorry for ever even looking at Robson Green. And, and, guess what!? I SAW THE TRIBE! We got satellite back and they show it on WAM and omigod LEX! There are not enough words for the pretty that is him. Problem is, I've seen two episodes and have no idea what the hell is going on. *sigh* Something about a virus. And a skanky stupid blonde girl who makes me want to shove her off a cliff. Who was with a boy with violently red hair who was called a geek and knows Lex and is that relationship slashy? *ponders* Oh, and some clown boy with a weird mouth. And a kid in a wheelchair that looks like an ugly Alexis Arquette. So--can you help? Please? I have no idea what's going on or who should slash with who and I jsut need help.

I'm purposefully not going to see Miami Vice - it might hurt my brain. Also I've never read the Alex Rider books and though the movie sounds okay I haven't been tempted yet.

Stormbreaker was really quite cheese-tastic and lovely. Major points for jelly-fish-related doom. Disturbingly, I think my mum (who, on account of being stuck in Cornwall at moment, I had to go and see the damn film with) found Alex attractive. I mean, this is someone who WORKS IN A SCHOOL! I'm just going to sit over here and cry. Plus, I found the whole Cornwall - but its the Isle of Man! thing entirely too confusing. I'm not sure where I live now. And it *really* creeped me out, the way the Isle of Man managed to look more like Cornwall than Cornwall. And I live here. Is this like the Terry Pratchett thing about cows looking like horses on screen?

Anyhew, glad to see your madness survives. And apologies for being so generally shit freindship-wise...oh, pretty much all year. To recap: Illness, exams, illness, moving out, illness, hospital, Cornwall. Yep, that's pretty much it.
