Saw “Unknown”. Imagine a rather bad Bourne, plus marriage. 6/10
Watching the 1951 version of “Alice in Wonderland” in HD. I may regret this, like I did with “Jungle Book”. Never re-watch childhood films.

According to Alexa, Google+ is Google’s third most popular service now, behind search and mail.
Women’s #worldcupfinal has been great. 3 minutes before end of extra time and Japan equalise! 2-2 against USA. Turn to BBC 3 for penalties.
Few films manage to be confusing and predictable! Also… the FUCKING end! (The whole audience laughed.) Not sure it’s films or books fault.
New Harry Potter was poor. Wonderfully shot. Magnificent CGI. Acting good. But just found it totally confusing, predictable and dull. 6/10

I love my tongue so much now that I have taken to walking around with my mouth open to give it sunlight, air and inspiration. #JustKidding
It also helps you love your voice. Beautiful wordsmiths guarantee it in fact. Read Keats’ “Bright Star” aloud and you’ll adore your tongue.
Reading aloud for the past 6 months has seemingly improved my speech. I also seem to remember more and get less distracted when doing so.
Had no power since last night. Reading with candles. Reminded of this:
“Electricity kills darkness, candlelight illuminates it.” - Thoreau

Seen a suspiciously cheap McLaren SLR on AutoTrader being sold by a garage called ‘Sir Centre Of Excellence’. Seems legit.
Also, it reeks of Royalty with its £1 price tag.
Really?! Carphone Warehouse is selling a Royal Wedding phone: http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/mobile-phones/ROYAL-WEDDING-PHONE/

I know there’s a lot of art-house cinemas that frequently screen old classics, but there are few locally, so I usually have to go to London.
It’s win-win. They get my £8 and I get to see a masterpiece how it should be viewed.
Why don’t film studios re-release more old classics to the cinema? There’s an endless list of films I’d love to see at the cinema.

My neighbour just heard me go ‘ooooooaaaaa’ in a really camp voice after I randomly got £3.97 of interest in my bank account.
Don’t normally bother with these things, but: RIP Jim Morrison. It’s been 40 years since his death and he remains one of my greatest idols.
Good to see stats today that suggest 3D interest in cinemas is slowly dieing. It peaked at Avatar and has dropped ever since.
Also, @PremierSportsTV actually do show quite a bit of boxing :)
I mean what would you rather have, one average boxing match or two months of @PremierSportsTV? Or how about a nice steak meal? List endless.
The main thing I’ve learnt is that boxing isn’t for me. It’s rxpensive and often boring. Plus, the pre-event lighting show ruins your day.
