The Dark Knight Rises

Eh. It was okay. I’d heard everybody saying omg such an amazeballs movie. And the reviews are excellent (currently 87% on Rotten Tomatoes). So, although I hadn’t actually READ any of those reviews, I still went in with every high expectations. And left all meh-y instead. Massive spoilers ahoy! STOP READING NOW if you’re anti-spoiler-inclined… read more »

Watching lately

Kind of addicted to Mad Men and to Criminal Minds right now. Even without a TV, one can be addicted to TV. Interesting. So there are spoilers in this post for Mad Men season 5, episodes 11 and 12.

Kicking off my reading for 2012

First three books for 2012 were The Last Stormlord by Glenda Larke, The Spirit Lens by Carol Berg, and One Day by David Nicholls.

A few more books for 2011

One of the few nice things about living far out of town & having to commute by public transport is you get more time to read every day.

I Don’t Know How She Does It

I really enjoyed this film! So go ahead, you can think I’m some easily entertained vapid airhead if you want… Screw the rest of you, I’m GLAD this movie got made because it provided some fab entertainment for me.

X-Men 1,705 (or whatever it is up to now – the First Class one)

Middling. Not as bad as Wolverine but not as good as Batman Begins, which is what The Duffster said he was hoping it would be like. A darker scritchy imagining this is not. We shrugged our shoulders and mosied on out at the end credits, and barely discussed it on the way home.

29th book this year

29th book i read this year — Certain Girls This is the sequel to Good in Bed, featuring the main character Cannie thirteen years later, living with her now-hubby Dr K and dealing with her teenage daughter, Joy. The POV alternates between Cannie and Joy.

The 28th book I read this year

28th book I read this year was Exurbia by Molly McGrann. It felt disjointed, I wasn’t sure who the target audience should be, and character development felt lacking. So I won’t be keeping this one.
