Enter the Void....

Today is Da Vinci Day. no I am not going around pretending to be the Vitruvian man, but I have gone to see the film.
Now i know the plot is all about ..... hold on there might be a spoiler here. If you dont want to know turn off now and go make a cup of tea... and I'll have milk and two sugars in mine
....anyway back to the plot...
...
...
.. anyway the plot is all about a conspiracy to hide the fact that the Holy Grail is really Mary Magdalen who was Jesus' wife and she was pregnant and therefore there is a bloodline. And I believe this has upset a few people. Well all I have to say to them is... GET OVER IT! Seriously, it's only a story. I mean did the Americans complain after Star Wars worrying that all there secrets about the Star Wars project was being leaked? And as a story it's quite enjoyable, I thoroughly enjoyed the book, but I thought it didnt transpose to the screen as well as I'd hoped unfortunatley- but it was still good
See my little review here

And I also have the PS2 game. Now I enjoy code breaking so I was really looking forward to the game, but one part really annoyed me. And it was in the first level. The problem was I got to the Mona Lisa quite easily and I could see the code scribbled over the front so I scanned over it, wrote it down and cracked the code with pen and paper. Then I was stuck. I knew I had to find the Bacchus and the Uriel and I found them but I didn't know what to do. And I was wandering around for ages totally puzzled (both in the game and at home) so I gave in and looked it up on the internet. So if any of you are playing the game and stuck here, this is what you have to do... Use your UV light and highlight every single letter in the code. Then a screen will come up so you can crack it on screen. If you don't highlight every single letter, you can't get anywhere!!!!!
Oh So dark, the con of games and films

Today why not go to a friends blog, look at their list of tags, find one that interests you, read it and leave a comment. It's great seeing some of the old posts- especially from new friends.

PS. i just saw an advert for Cadbury's creme eggs in a bar. Hmm loverly. I'll be trying that soon!

So this one is about Baby names.
We've had Geri Halliwells new girl "Bluebell Madonna" - A bit of a brown noser in my opinion
And Angelina Jolie named her baby Shiloh Nouvel (Which I am sure means Crap Book in another language)
But why are the stars naming their children with stupid names???
Well I came across this article

The Sunday NY Times delves into the preposterous waters of celebrity baby naming, and all of the greatest hits get mentioned: Penn Jillette's daughter Moxie CrimeFighter,

Moxie CrimeFighter?????

Jason Lee's son Pilot Inspektor,

Pilot Inspektor

and of course, the reigning dumb name champion, Apple Martin. (Curiously, however, Nicholas Cage's Kryptonian superspawn Kal-el gets nary a mention.) The article interprets the trend as something of an creative-heir insurance policy: that no matter how ordinary the kid ends up being, at least something about them will be special, just like their famous folks.

"A name is free, it is something that everyone has, so if you are a celebrity, you are going to have to work that much harder to set yourself apart as a person with a specialized knowledge or a rarefied taste," said Pamela Redmond Satran, who has written baby-name books with Linda Rosenkrantz, including "Beyond Jennifer and Jason" (St. Martin's). She said a competitive impulse among stars seems to account for the recent bonanza of unlikely baby names.
"In a weird way, it's like anorexia" in Hollywood, Ms. Satran said. "Anyone can be thin. The famous have to be thinner."

Just gotta have the latest thing... a baby with a weird name

But the best thing about this article are the first two comments

I find your snarky attitude towards this refreshing display of creativity disgusting. As an aspiring celebrity myself, I always beam when introducing my son, Shaviour Mustache, to new people.

Back off lady, Anorexia is my baby name. Consider yourself warned.

Shaviour Moustache! I so want that to be true?

So what outrageous names would you call your kids? When I was younger I decided I would have two twin boys and call tham Deuteronomy and Leviticus, and have a little girl called Numbers! (I used to be religious)
