a couple of books I have really enjoyed

Midshipmans Hope
If you like Scif-fi or navy novels, you will like this. Its like Starship Troopers meets Hornblower

The Yes Man
This is a great book if you like comedy and are looking for a personal lift. Well worth a read.

Book i am reading at the moment
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

When I was in London yesterday I saw a police van. The Van was full of police, all geared up. Suddenly the van doors opened and the windows were wound down and about 7 police heads popped out groaning.

............Someone in the van had farted!

Ok I did it again. i really must stop blurting out random things just because I think its funny, but the problem is I can't stop myself.
Once again the TV is on, my OH is home and I have just made us a nice cup of tea. that's not really relevant except that it shows that I do nice things occasionally.
Anyway there is a series drama on. Not my choice but we adapt. And the serious doctor is talking to the scared little girl. The doctor says "I guess you want to know what up, right?" a very serious moment; my OH is hooked.
I say quite randomly "A piano"
My OH looks at me
" A piano. That upright!"

ho hum.
I can only apologise for this blog

The brightest star in the sky

I have just finished watching the Firefly series on DVD. Why oh Why was this show not given more recognition? it's fantastic. It's got it all; drama, humour action, a psychotic wife. I have to say my favourite epsidode was TRASH!

But why do some people like Sci-fi and some people not?
For me the fun comes from the fact that there are no restrictions to where you can go or what you can do; just the limit of your imagination. Sometimes the imagination leads you to a gem, like firefly or lead you to a turd- Jar-jar Binks anyone?

Some my question for bloggers.

Do you like Sci-fi or not? and why?

Lets have another look at this picutre

OK lets be bitchy

What image do you think they were trying to portray?

Samantha Fox: I imagine she was going for the 'brainless bimbo trying to be taken seriously' look. Did it work? Is she taken seriously? The last thing I remember about Sam Fox was that she was recently on a reality show where she had to run a bar/club, got really drunk and made a right tit of herself. Which is ironic, because her right tit is probably her best feature.

And as for mick Fleetwood, with that hat it's either Lee Van Cleef or the scary man from Poltergeist 2. I'm going for the latter.

God is in his holy temple........

It was the Brit awards, and it has come a long way since the glory days of Samantha Fox and Mick Fleetwood. Anyone remember that year? Little and large!

But last night was a good 'un.... for some. Especially if you are a fan of the Kaiser Chiefs- which I am
Here is an opening line from a news stiry this morning

Kaiser Chiefs, KT Tunstall and James Blunt cleaned up at the Brit Awards on a night of triumph for new talent.

I have to admit, that turn of phrase amuses me. I am imagining them wearing tabards with mops and cloths, wiping the floors and emptying ash-trays.

The Arctic Monkeys also got an award, good for them!

And the award presenters included:
Chantelle lookalike Paris Hilton
Wednesday Adams lookalike Kelly Osbourne
Blondie lookalike Debbie Harry
Joker form Batman lookalike Boy George

I started writing this in a comment but I thought that it might be useful for the general Bloglic.
