500 Days of Summer...

It's been a while since I enjoyed a film this much. I spent a really lovely 95 minutes watching it, grinning and chortling out loud. It's the kid from Third Rock from the Sun, I used to love that programme! How bizarre, he's all grown up in this... (According to IMDB, he's actually older than me. As if? He's nearly 30... Is it that long since Third Rock was on TV?)

Anyway. I digress.

This is sort of what I expected from Juno, and failed to get. Perfect film (^_^) - definitely need the soundtrack!

Oh, dear...

Three weeks have passed, and I have still not read Men at Arms. That's not to say that I've been breaking the rules - I'm reading all new books! I must confess, though, to getting rather sidetracked... Firstly, by Bill Bryson's "Shakespeare" (educational and entertaining!) and secondly by Nick Hornby's "Juliet, Naked", a delight of a book that I'm thoroughly enjoying. My good friends Ben and Kate recommended it to me; they thought I might enjoy it, and they're absolutely right. It rather suits my mood.

In my current frame of mind, I'm longing to re-read Twilight. So, I am distracting myself with a film called "500 Days of Summer" and truffles. Not quite the same, but the synopsis is promising and the chocolates magnificent.

P'raps by the end of the week, I'll have finished Bryson and Hornby and be ready to crack on with Waugh?
