Don't ask how I found this, but I found this pretty funny. It's a slightly crazy Scottish bloke wittering about Tunnock's Caramel (which I agree are yummy).


It's worth a watch just to see his Scottish craziness, and to wonder why on Earth the video was made.

Lol xD

EDIT: Oh and while I'm posting videos:

Here's another.

The vid itself is pretty funny but the comments are full of FAIL as well. But then, they always are on the Cheezburger network. Are those people in the video actors? I hope so but... I kind of doubt it. Oh dear.

(PS, Mr Baron Cohen? Can I be paid for advertising your movie as well? Kthxbai.)

I feel a bit pre-emptive writing this early on Saturday evening but man, what a week!

( The week from a very petty and annoying Hell? )

I've not really up to much lately other than crossing my fingers and hoping to move house soon! Been out a few times - oh, had a few friends round the other night for an Indiana Jones movie night (just the first two, the other two in a month or so) and I dressed as Indy (of course! :D). Went to Little Tokyo the other day, was tres tasty - but then it usually is :) Funny, I've not been to LT for about a year and in the past month I've been about three times (and maybe a fourth next week!).

But anyway, the point in me posting today:

Firstly: I watched the movie with that actor in it - you know, the guy I posted a pic of the other day, saying he looked like one of my characters? The movie is called Yossi and Jagger (go find it here on Amazon for about 6 quid or you could always borrow it from me :P) and is incredibly sad ;_; It's also very good! I recommend it.

( Secondly: here, have some art - warning, pretty darned (low quality) image heavy! )

That is all.

I don't have anything in particular to say... Apart from that work has been incredibly hectic and I'm extremely glad that I have a few days off the week after next!

I've been overloading somewhat on the Lord of the Rings lately; after the last of me, Sophie and Gareth's LotR nights. I've watched all the extras on the extended DVDs (haven't quite got so bad as to watch all the commentaries yet xD). And I've nearly finished reading Return of the King (I think I might get the illustrated books for my birthday/xmas :D) too.

( Some pictures of that and other things beneath the cut )

I ordered some earrings just over a week ago and they came today. They're so cool! They're handmade strawberry and yoghurt cupcakes.

( Some pictures under here )

I just read the last chapter of Tsubasa. It just read like CLAMP had been ordered to finish up the series and given no time to plan anything decent and wrap everything up properly. I can't believe how terrible it was. What a horrible, horrible disappointment. Ho hum.

I've seen a few things online recently about some authors not giving their fans enough time; that they're not posting on their blogs recently, they don't Tweet enough, etc...

Does anyone else disagree with this? I know that authors should probably keep up with the times and use teh interwebs more often as a PR machine but how much time should they be expected to spend on things like this? I'm sure they're still doing the other traditional PR stuff - signing tours, magazine interviews - but is it really their place to keep their ravenous fans updated on the internet? Of course it would be nice to see a regularly updated blog from a favourite author, but I would never feel that they were 'abandoning' their fans if they didn't, nor would I write horrified, angry posts on the web about it with some sense that the fans are entitled to a weekly blog update. A novel writer's job, surely, is to write novels. If you get the new novel on time then surely that should satiate the fans.

Any thoughts?

So today, straight after work I spent 2 hours getting an x-ray, got in at about 8, watched 2 episodes of American Dad - then proceeded to look at some amazing cakes and now it's half midnight. Huh. The internet steals time, I'm sure of it.

Now at 100 pages on my story though :D

I just went over 50k words on the story I'm writing. I'm so proud of myself (like, ridiculously so for something that I'm writing just for me - and maybe for posting on here one day if anyone is interested...). Also, I spent most of the day doing housework - I'm quite proud of myself for that too :D

Would you guys like a laugh? Of course you would. Then check out this website - http://www.yournovel.com/products.aspx. Surely the most epic fail of ever. You can even check out excerpts of the terribly written stories (any of the ones which are not ebooks will have WILD (or "...is this supposed to be sexy?") and MILD (or "just plain lame") chunks of the story for you to read and enjoy.
