The Escapist

Posted by: Sonya on: July 15, 2009

We’ve just finished watching The Escapist and I can’t stop thinking about it – don’t you just love it when a movie does that to you!? I wouldn’t have thought this would be my kind of film, and I wouldn’t have watched it if it had been my pick tonight, but Charlotte fancied [...]

Fact Of The Day

Posted by: Sonya on: April 10, 2009

Today’s fact of the day – Charlotte’s half brother was a scuba diver in Jaws 2, although she’s not sure if he actually made it on screen. So there you go.

Café Culture

Posted by: Sonya on: March 7, 2009

Charlotte bought a coffee maker yesterday. I am not a coffee person and I don’t get the whole ‘coffee thing’ or these contraptions. I asked her if she wanted me to get some coffee beans for it, but she said these were no good, that she would have to grind them up and she had [...]

It’s My Birthday!

Posted by: Sonya on: February 22, 2009

No, I lie. It was my birthday on Thursday but I was working late and then had Tai Chi straight after. Not that I like birthdays anymore anyway. I always used to buy people those ‘funny’ cards poking fun at their age, I thought they were so witty, but then some rotten sod went and [...]

Happy New Year!

Posted by: Sonya on: January 28, 2009

Yeah I know, I’m a little late, but I’ve been a very busy girl! After Christmas I got really ill, I got hit by the flu very badly and was out of it for a couple of weeks. Since getting better I’ve tried to do a wee bit of work in the flat, the hallway [...]

Currently Studying

Not a lot! :o) Oh the joys of recess.... I've registered on Philosophy of the Mind for next year, starts the end of January but I will be starting preparatory work real soon.

Last Movie

2012 - Well, it's not as bad as people are saying, just so long as you take it on face value and ignore the... err..., shall I say 'plot'? The first half of the film where everything gets destroyed is actually really cool and definitely worth seeing, the second half, once they get to China, hmm... not so much.

Last Book

The Men Who Stare at Goats - Jon Ronson - I've seen the film, and now I've read the (signed!) book. It's an interesting contrast. The film is quite 'feel-good' and only hints at the Dark Side, but the book, the second half in particular, goes in to quite some detail on how Jim Channon's ideals have become warped and corrupted in to the disturbing forms of psychological torture that the military has been using in recent years. Very good and informative read.
