Write-list

So I’m writing a book (don’t laugh! I really am!) and it dawned on as I was walking to work the other day (while listening to music on shuffle on iPhone Dax) that some songs kind of lend themselves to the whole thing really well. So I made a playlist using my trusty iTunes and have played it a few times to get myself ready to do battle with a keyboard.


Here, without further ado, is a link to said list.


WARNING - it's getting on for 40 songs. Ahem.


Peach and lube, people. Peach and lube.

The Doctor Rocks

Yes. He does.





Which makes up for the shite episodes we've had so far. Matt Smith, I feel for you. You are so much better than some of this crap. So ditch the annoying Companion (all the best eps have been where she's ANYWHERE ELSE) and be amazing. Again.


Thank you.

New! Improved! Kinda!

I’ve been doing that writing thing again.


Title: “Found In Translation”
Rating: T for language and a wee bit of gore.
Summary:
Sam and Dean are asked to take care of something. Language barriers, stubborn poltergeists, nasty memories causing old wounds to rip at the seams: it's a typical week in the life of our favourite grumpy stumpy dude and his tall emo yardstick of morality.

Set during season five but no relation to any story arcs, plots or episodes. This is not about nor does it mention the apocalypse, angels, demons or in fact demon blood. Also, this may be a little more serious than my usual fare. Be warned.

Also posted at FanFic.net.

Disclaimer:
I do not own the TV show ‘Supernatural’ either in whole or in part, but I wish I could get my book finished so I didn’t have to go out to work any more. And stuff like that.

Linky-link-link:






And that’s about it. I’ve got a book to write and a pub quiz to go to.


See yous later.

Movie Catch-Up

Evenin’ all. The reason I’ve not been here so often of late is cos I’ve been busy. Normally that means arsing around, generally being pisht or otherwise incapable of writing owt down. However, recently this has been down to three major loves of my life: going to the pictures, drinking, and trying to finish writing a book. No really. Don’t laugh. I said don’t!

So this will be my mini-mini-mini movie review catch-up then. I have a shitload of cinema tickets spread out on my desk, so now’s the time to get them jotted down and sorted. Oh, in case you’ve just joined us: these are all Monday Movie Mob escapades. Yes, we do actually go every Monday evening.


So here we go then:

8th March, ’10: Alice in Wonderland (3D)
Official verdict? The first time 3D has worked for me at all, and a pretty good film to boot. Stephen Fry was a bonus. No, a bargain. No wait, a bargus.
“SPOON!”

15th March: Shutter Island
Official verdict is HERE.

22nd March: The Hurt Locker
Official verdict? Fucking ace.

29th March: Fantastic Mr Fox
Official verdict? Fucking ace. With George Clooney on top.
“I can fit through there. Do you know why? Cos I’m LITTLE.”

12th April: Clash Of The Titans (3D)
Official verdict? 3D was fucked - the front of Ralph Feines and the pegasus’ heads kept wobbling away from their rears, respectively. Other than that, pretty ok. Prefer the old version though. Bah.

19th April: A Serious Man
Official verdict? Pretty fucking funny, and even though I didn’t get the Job reference (being an atheist and a bit ignorant about these things) I did enjoy it a lot.
“He’s a fucker! And he’s a fucker too! The Rabbi’s a dirty fucker!”

26th April: The Ghost Writer
Official verdict? Pierce Brosnan - yay! Ewan McGregor - yay! Plot - uhm, ok. Ending - booo! But Ewan got his arse out. So yay, then.

3rd May: Iron Man 2
Official verdict? Pretty fucking good. Not quite as good as the first one, but only cos the whole Iron Man thing was no longer new. Sam Rockwell = excellence. Clever scripting and banter = awesome!sauce.
“I was here first - get a roof!”

10th May: Let The Right One In
Official verdict? Creepy and chilly, excellently done, great idea well described, terrific/horrific ending.
“What happens if I say you can’t come in?”

17th May: Robin Hood
Official verdict? Russell Crowe sounded a little Scouse-cum-Irish at times, but did an excellent job as always. In leather pants. Did I mention the leather pants? And the bows and arrows. Fucking fab. And Joshua from Dark Angel was Little John. And Mark Addy from The Full Monty was Friar Tuck. Does it get any more fun?

24th May: I Love You, Phillip Morris
Official verdict? Fucking nearly died TWICE cos I was laughing so hard I cried till I couldn't breathe any more (golf sand traps, and proper nicely-done romantic dancing luuuurve moment to the sounds of "My word is my motherfucking bond, asshole!"). Teared-up toward the end with Unshed Emo Tears of Girl Pain, but they were proper Unshed, you bastards. And Ewan was cuter than a blanketful of kittens and new Pavel Chekov combined. Very very good. I will be buying this DVD.
“Or you can just suck his dick. It’s your choice.”

31st May: Prince Of Persia
Official verdict? Fuck me, where did Jake Gyllenhaal learn proper off-London like that? Good boy! Also, running jumping sword fighting daggering swaggering puppy eyeing bicep flexing bodice rippling Indy Jonesing fab-ness. Yes, we liiiiked it.

Don’t think there’s anything on next week - so one week’s break to run our Ewan McGregor Marathon of Awesomeness. And then 14th sees The A Team. Oh yes. It’s on!

Peach and lube, everyone, peach and lube.
