Day 09 - Current Celebrity Crush #4
Ooh, now this is a tough one… I’m gunna say Aaragorn. Whilst my last 3 crushes I’ve been able to justify with their personalities being matched to mine and me feeling some kind of genuine affection towards them, Aaragorn is just raw sexual magnetism. And, come on, we’ve all pictured ourselves in Arwen’s shoes from time to time, haven’t we?
Day 08 - Current Celebrity Crush #3
TIM BLOODY MINCHIN
Phwoar.
Day 07 - Current Celebrity Crush #2
Tessa Violet, or as most of you know her, Meekakitty from youtube. I mean, she likes Zelda, Studio Ghibli and talking to herself. Remind you of anyone? ;D Also, she’s very, very pretty.
Day 06 - Current Celebrity Crush #1
Sorry, bit late, I know. I was busy.
Anyway, it’s Zooey. Duh.
Day 05 - Most Cherished Celebrity Obsession
Tim Minchin, I have my canvas bag in pride of place in my room and I post the pictures of me and him at every oppotunity ;)
Day 04 - Current Celebrity Obsession
I skipped day 3 because my computer was broken yesterday and my favourite celebrity encounter was also my first, so there’s not much point doing it now.
Anyway, Zooey Dechanel. The official bestest person ever.

Day 02 - First Celebrity Encounter
Well, that depends… I’ve met and get along okay with Richard from Fateless Tears and Jerry from AraPacis via CoFM, but whether talking over a computer counts as being a celebrity encounter is debatable… So I’ll play it safe and say Tim Minchin when me, Becky, Dan and Oscar went to see him live about a year ago.
We waited outside the stage door for about 2 hours, but it...
Where the Wild Things Are
So, I watched it yesterday… It was one of the strangest ideas for films I’ve seen, and I genuinely don’t know how I feel about it. On the one hand, it does everything it tries to do very well. As a statement on society, it’s brilliant, as a psychological exploration, it’s brilliant, as an example of cinematography, it’s brilliant, I could go on. But, as a film,...

Day 01 - First Celebrity Obsession
Mewtwo, I watched Pokémon: The First Movie a million times as a kid and a million more times since. At the time I thought he was the collest person ever and the message of equality he conveys has had a huge affect on who I am and the values I hold, without his influence I’d be a very different person to who I am today.
“I see now that the circumstances of one’s birth are...

GAME in Spalding
It’s official, the GAME outlet in Spalding is rubbish for gamecube games. It used to be great, they had a whole section for them, but now the only ones that even have box art are the 7 never-even-opened copies of “Bratz Diamonds” that have been there since who knows when. So, I’m moving on and buying Wii/DS games there instead. Thankfully they’re still cheaper than...
Astro Boy
So I rented Astro Boy last night, and as a fan of the animé I find it very hard to get used to this new version. It can’t really be called a re-make, as it only has 4 characters from the original show and of them one changed species, one changed accent, and one is now a good guy for some reason. Even Astro has changed, because now he has Toby’s memories and actually prefers being...
The Classic Game →
I found this place yesterday when I was at the beach, they have loads of awsome stuff and even a NES (Granted it was £80, but still, it’s a NES). If anyone’s in Sherringham any time soon I’d really reccommend it.

Did anyone else see this? I’m really starting to like this show.

Why do they even bother...
asking questions about strengths and weaknesses of study types in Psychology? It’s only ever going to be one of two answers, either “Low in ecological validity but high in control so few extraneous and confoudning variables” or “High in ecological validity but low in control so many extraneous and confoudning variables”. Suerly it’d be simpler to just give us a...
