And I agree, enough with the remakes. I saw a commercial for the "Nightmare on Elm Street" remake and thought I was having a flashback!

I just bought an ebook reader. Huh? I was staring at the PRS300 on my screen, everything went black, and then POP, everything comes back and my screen says "Congratulations! You won this item." Weird, eh?

(do you think my husband will fall for that story?)
Finally! I was beginning to think that no one noticed that that there is nothing new and original anymore. What is it with this inspiration drop? Does it have to do with corporate decision? Even supposedly new stuff like Avatar had a déjà-vu feeling in the script, it felt like an old western/Indians story.

We, as readers can find an infinity of available stories that have not been done in Hollywood. How is it that they don't seem to find any?

Music is the same. One of my favorite creators in all artistic disciplines, Peter Gabriel, has just released an album of interpretations from other artist's work...

When will the drought stop?

Sadly, it may never end.
This is why I refuse to see the remake of "the Wolfman". I am a huge fan of the original and think that not only was Lon Chaney, Jr. a far better actor than Benicio Del Toro, his self created, self applied make-up is far superior to anything CGI can create.

Yeah, I read that the DRM is a pain in the ass.... but it's working fine (for now at least)

What do you mean? "It 's a pain in the ass ... but it's working fine (for now at least)".

Right now I'm craving griddled halloumi with soft boiled eggs and rocket, but not quite enough to go to the shops to get some!

(And my browser's spellcheck thinks halloumi should be helium don't think that would be as tasy)

Yea!! Now you can read, read, read. Wait, I mean.... write, write, write (and check how it looks on YOUR new Sony.. Have fun and ask us if you need help or want to know something.


Hubby took the news like a pro. I'll just have to slip him some extra spending money to make up for the indiscretion

Good to know. I will report you to The Society of Mutual Support for Husbands with Deceptive Wifes, of which I chair the local chapter.
Deception? Deception would be "honey, look what I found at the back of my wardrobe! I forgot I had this old thing!"

Good luck for the last exam. Will have a beer / wine or two for you when it's all over to celebrate the degree with you.

Thus far today I have only got out of bed to urinate. I have had four coffees, and a devon-and-marty-sauce roll. There's a large bag of Twisties waiting to be eaten in the bedside. It's 1:11pm.

Your assignment: compare and contrast.
