    I went to a special advanced preview screening thing of

    today. It's Drew Barrymore's directorial debut, not high brow or anything fancy but I really liked it. And I'm sure some of you [Woyczek] will like it as it's got girls in hotpants or skimpy skirts, fishnet tights and rollerskates battering the hell out of each other.

    When's your Christmas party? Can we all turn up just to meet her? I'll be purely coincidental that we're all there of course...

    There are actually people behind me who have a wallchart of the X Factor contestants and cross them off each week as they're booted off. Then they have a discussion about it for a couple of hours. Although it's been a bit different this week - they've been filling the day talking about I'm a Celebrity. And one of them was singing Christmas carols last week. Bah fucking humbug.

    What have you been watching on (proper scripted) telly?

    I watched the pilot of Being Human on the iPlayer earlier. I really wanted to like it, as I too loved the premise. It just bored me though.

     

    The pilot was better than the series has been so far. The series hasn't really explained a couple of things that were in the pilot either. I like Russell Tovey but there's a bit too much over-acting from all three main characters in some scenes.

     

    I like Big Bang Theory too. It's a comedy for and about geeks. I think if you're a big of a geek about science you notice things about yourself in the characters so it's even more funny. I think I've got a bit lost with episodes at the moment though. What happened to the doctor woman Johnny Galecki was seeing?

    Broken ribs are common during birth. I was born with a slight malformed leg because my foot was stuck in my mother's ribcage. A few sessions of physiotherapy sorted it out though.Oh, and congrats of course :) Well done.

    WHAT PLAY YOU?

    I'm so addicted to Thrillville on my DS at the moment. I was really pissed off on Sunday though because, after playing it for a few days, I accidentally over-wrote the file :angry: I'm back up to speed with it now but really need to stop playing it before I go to bed. Not only am I knackered because I'm up til 2am playing it but I'm now dreaming about little rollercoasters.

    I'm currently rewatching Band of Brothers off DVD, and it really is absolutely incredible. Top 5 tv series of all time, IMO. It's only 10 episodes though, they could have made 20 and it wouldn't have got old.

    Band of Brothers is (was) one of my favourite TV shows. I have it on DVD too and it never gets old. My mate got me into it so as a reward for her I got her a Christmas present that made her speechless. I tracked down some authentic BoB autographs (16 in all) and got them framed. A few of the better known names are missing but she still got Compton, Shifty Powers, "One Lung" McLung, Perconte, Luz and a few others.On topic - I had to endure aeroplane films recently. On the way out we got 27 Dresses (yawn) and The Water Horse (I did actually cry in this). On the way back we got National Treasure: Book of Secrets (not that bad actually, how Indiana Jones should have been) and Alvin and the Chipmonks (funny in places but a no-brainer).
