It seems to be retro movie week in my family recently. We’ve been watching movies we loved as kids. They don’t make them like that anymore. Probably because they’re cheesy and badly acted but they’re still entertaining. Amongst them is Mannequin, which was one of the first movies (along with The Care Bear Movie and Vice Versa) that I ever saw in the cinema. Talking of firsts, we are also watching The Witches which was the first movie I saw that had been adapted from a book I’d already read and loved. I’m still not too pleased with movies like that. A movie that also sticks in my mind is Toy Soldiers. Lately everyone has been talking about Wil Wheaton and I thought to myself, not Wil Wheaton from Toy Soldiers surely! I remember having a huge crush on him. But sure enough, he has his own blog now.
Talking of movies, there’s one that’s been playing on my mind for ages. I just can’t remember the title. It involved a family who moved to a new house. Somehow the kid found an alien who liked to drink soda. He always made these windmills things out of the straws and later on they found out his family were near some hydroelectric windmills. Ring any bells? Or did I just make it up? And no, it’s not E.T., Flight of the Navigator or Batteries Not Included.

Because he’s stalking me. Because he’s mental. Because he stays up till 4am (not my time) talking to me. For all his efforts, I urge you to visit Ammar.

I found this very disturbing and am shocked that this sort of thing goes on, even in this day and age.

I was attracted to the beautiful simplicity of this page. I stayed for the photographs.

You are useless she said. You’ll never amount to anything she said. Why can’t you be normal she said. You have to make the best of it she said. Because you’re no oil painting she said. No one’ll want you she said. Don’t you want to be happy she said. Bah humbug I said. And laughed like Mutley. But there were tears inside.

Amen.

That Jish. He completely stole my idea about a voice blog. OK so it was still in my head at the time but still. Anyway, he sounds better so go listen. (I still may do it, the way it was going to work was that you could listen to my lastest weblog post only. What say ye? Yay or nay?)

What do you look like?!?

If you sent me a message using the form on my contact page and want a reply, you’ll have to resubmit it because it didn’t send your e-mail address due to a problem. Thanks.

Change is good and I think this particular change will be beneficial in some ways. It’ll make the number plates easier to remember and let you know which part of the country that car is from, is that a good thing?
