Since around September 2012, I started getting into watching anime again. I used to watch a lot of anime when I was younger, and though my interest in it didn’t exactly wane, because of all the other things I wanted to do, I put anime on the back burner.

Yes, unfortunately… By this time, I’m sure everyone has heard of (if not already seen) the film adaptation of the musical Les Miserables, starring Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and a host of other (talented) actors.

Another weekend has come and gone; uneventful as usual. A wonderful end to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa on Sunday with Spain beating Holland, 1-0. Once again, Paul the octopus has chosen the winning team! Maybe Spain should make him an honorary Spaniard. Finally saw The Last Airbender last night and, what can … Continue reading »
Ok, I’m jumping on the bandwagon and blogging about Twilight. First of all, I’m not a Twihard – I was halfway through Twilight before I gave up on the dry, pointless writing.
