That's kind of my point. I wouldn't expect someone to spoiler plot points in a discussion of, say, Great Expectations or Anna Karinina or something. I think when a story has been in the public domain for 150+ years, it's a reasonable expectation that it shouldn't be considered a massive secret.

That's fair enough where people are interested in literature and have a decent knowledge of the classics. But many others do not, so it's not unreasonable to spoiler plot details of a classic, especially when it's now a major Hollywood film that plenty want to see.

The amount of drink I consumed over the hols didn't help, was 5 nights in a row in pubs serving craft beer leading up to New Year's! Trying to behave myself a bit now though, less rubbish and more fruit and veg in general, and more gym, running and yoga. I'm off the drink too for Jan, which helps.

Right here with you there RK!

Ah_Yeah

I honestly don't see the point of bickering about something so insignificant. It's done, it can't be changed. Get over it.

My back garden is like a mud pit which means with 2 dogs my kitchen floor often looks like a barn floor. Paw prints and, when they get excited paw skids across the floor. I'm washing it every hour or so.

So today I decided the dogs are not going back out the back, they can go to the toilet on one of their walks. Well I opened the door this morning to empty the bin and they both ran out (this is never a problem when I WANT them to go out :rolleyes:)

My floor got mucky, and I broke my mop.:mad:

I decided to bath them and go back to the original plan. No point in cleaning the floor until the boys are clean right? And no more out the back today.

So I brought the little guy up. In my efforts not to make a big deal out of the bath and worrying him, I didn't close the doors properly. In the bathroom with the little fella all suddy and I could hear the other guy happily barrelling up and down the stairs.

Mucky Paw Prints everywhere. Up and down the carpeted stairs, on the cat bed on the landing, all over the couches.

I'm so annoyed with myself for not closing the doors. I have a few hours of cleaning ahead of me now. No Mop, my hoover is crap (can you hoover mud?). And two clean dogs who are now sitting on a muddy couch. :rolleyes:

I dont know the plots of those either, doesnt mea I wouldnt sit down and watch the movies.
Between work and college I dont have the time to make my way through the classics. Should I be punished for that?

No.

Great Expectations is particularly good. It's definitely worth a read if you get a chance. I think there is a film adaptation of it too actually.

It really is one that slips away, isn't it? I only saw an adaptation last year and I was still struggling to remember the very end. I have it now though. Stay in there, pesky information.

I've got lots of Wicked songs going about in my head today. #Who can say if I've been changed for the better...#

Thank heavens the singing voice inside my head is better than the one that comes out of my mouth.

Went to the doctor and was sent for x-ray. Nothing broken, yay! Have it strapped up for a week, taking anti-inflammatories for 5 days and have an appointment for ten days time to check if the numbness has gone.

I saw one with ethan hawke yeaaaaars ago. I think it was him. rrrrr.

Speaking of singing, I'm going to do some singing today, I decided. I haven't practised in ages and I still can't get that Schubert song out of my head!!

Caught my left index finger in a fold-up bed and sort of crushed it. It was a big "ouchie moment" at the time but it went numb right after it happened and it's still numb.

Ah you poor thing! Sorry I do remember reading that now. It was caught for a bit wasn't it?

At least you're not nursing a break. Hopefully the anti-inflam's will do the trick.

Are you left handed?

I've also been hit with a sledgehammer of a cold. I wish I could just teleport home instead of like, having to leave the office and stuff.

Yeah for about ten seconds maybe but it felt like bloody ages because it hurt and I got such a fright.

Thankfully I'm right handed so it's not so bad.

I'm amusing myself on the bus by listening to Fall Out Boy, the cringeworthy sound of my teenagedom. So bad but so good!

Princess Peach

Boooo jet lag! But had such an amazing week in Montreal, totally worth it. Long days of work and long nights of social events and "networking" at the open bar . My team made the semi finals of the competition, which is amazing, level of competition was fierce. Beyond delighted!

Such a fun week, met some amazing people. Highlight of my masters for sure!

Today my editor brought in some ginger cake that she’d made (it was soooo good) One of our colleagues was passing and saw some leftover cake on the desk, and she said “Is that cake going gash?”

Much hilarity and confusion ensued… Turns out she was asking if the cake was going spare, as in did nobody else want it! She’d never heard anyone use the word gash in the context that the rest of us were thinking

Wow. Quentin Tarantino just made me not want to watch his movie.

Yeah. He only let on how personally he was taking it near the end when QT asked him if he thought he was past his peak in filmmaking. He told him that he actually liked his films and then looked a little crushed as he added, "you might not believe that."

Doesn't look all that great a film anyway but I'll probably eat my words if I go see it now :P

Procrastinating majorly about an unpleasant task that I have to do. And I can't leave work until it's done! Which means I may be here for some time....

Tarantino's been at that for years, he's an assclown. I really don't get why he's so popular either, it's all been downhill since Pulp Fiction, and all he does is repackage sleazy exploitation movie plots, it's like he's got hipster cred or something.

still, I liked Inglorious Basterds

Krishnan should be just glad he didn't spit at him, Tarantino did that before. I can see where they're both coming from, but Tarantino is on a press junket doing puff piece interviews for his movie not going into a debate about film violence, people doing interviews like that probaby get asked the same questions 20 times a day. And like he said he's being getting grilled on movie violence for 20 years now and is just sick of being asked the same thing over and over.
