My friends-only posts are marginally less inane than my public ones.
Comment to be added, I'm not picky.

From the bbc website:
Liverpool, once they found their feet, were the brighter and more creative side - with the magnificent Torres the spearhead, ably assisted by Gerrard.
The Premier League leaders, in contrast, were lifeless in all areas as they suffered their heaviest home defeat since losing 4-1 against QPR on New Year' Day 1992.
Perfect.

I'm not feeling massively good about this. Please let me have to eat my words later.

Hiya Dirk Kuyt!
I am rapidly being forced to reconsider my opinion of you.
All I've done today is add "Fernando Torres' post-match interviews" to my interests on here and buy grey clothes from H&M. Need to get the student motivation back.

I noticed this morning, whilst watching the news at somewhere in the region of 5.30am, that the BBC's business correspondent is called Julia Caesar.
Parents are so mean.

Not really a lot to say, but just wanted to write something really quick about The Dark Knight. (I keep calling it Batman, this is irritating, but what can you do?)
I really liked it. I don't often bother seeing films at the cinema, but I'm glad I did with this. Like everyone else has said really, I was a bit dubious about Christian Bale's Batman voice at times, but other than that it was superb! Gary Oldman was AMAZING. And the Joker was ace, (haha card puns) such a well fleshed out character. I loved the details like his twitches and tics. He's not straightforward FRIGHTENING in the way that some villains are, but genuinely sinister and unpredictable, and the way the music is done adds to how creepy it is. And yet there are scenes with him in which are genuinely funny!
Also in the last third of the film I found some of the moral situations that people find themselves in (not wanting to make spoilers here) genuinely thought provoking and unsettling.
All in all - good stuff.

WHEY!
In your FACE Michael Ballack, I hate you. Another loser's medal to put with the ones you have from Chelsea. I am a little too excited about Spain winning Euro 2008, but I've wanted them to win since the beginning! Kind of wishing I'd put a fiver on them now or something.
Did anyone else notice Iker Casillas get totally dissed and dismissed by Angela Merkel? HILARIOUS.

Stolen from Juliet;
Film quote meme: put 10 of your favourite films in to IMDB and pick a quote, then make people guess the film. NO CHEATING.
1. Am I that transparent? I want you, I need you, oh baby, oh baby.
2. I tried taking pictures, but they were so mediocre. I guess every girl goes through a photography phase. You know, horses... taking pictures of your feet.
3. I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.
4. When it comes to reassuring a traumatized 19-year-old, I'm about as expert as a palsy victim doing brain surgery with a pipe wrench.
5. Too many guys think I'm a concept, or I complete them, or I'm gonna make them alive. But I'm just a fucked-up girl who's lookin' for my own peace of mind; don't assign me yours.
6. Mother, I do not need a blind date. Particularly not with some verbally incontinent spinster who drinks like a fish, smokes like a chimney, and dresses like her mother.
7. Feminine weaknesses and fainting spells are the direct result of our confining young girls to the house, bent over their needlework, and restrictive corsets.
8. I was in the path of the tornado... I just didn't expect the storm would last as long as it has.
9. Oh, I love seeing teachers outside of school. It's like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs.
10. OK ? now, girls. I want you to concentrate. Failure is not an option. And Bethany? If you feel the need to vomit up there, just swallow it.
This took me ages, because I never watch films really. Hm.

I can't work out what I like more;
The Hills:
OR
Gossip Girl:
Masters angst continues apace, I just want someone to tell me I am doing the right thing.

I saw the video for Madonna's '4 minutes to save the world' or whatever its called this morning.
I could write a whole discursive essay on everything thats wrong with it, but instead I'll settle for a few key points;
1) beige stretchy basque thing on Madonna = not a good look, and I hate it when Justin tears her clothes off. But that might be jealousy, I am not sure.
2) Justin repeatedly sings 'grab a girl', seemingly referring to Madonna. SHE'S NEARLY 50.
3) When she sings 'sometimes I think all I need is a UN intervention' I am HEAVILY INCLINED TO AGREE.

Thank christ for that.
Now watch us draw arsenal in the next round and be unceremoniously knocked out.

I just deleted my myspace, my WAYN account (why did I even have that?) and my friendster profile (on which I had one friend, a bloke from south wales, who I have no idea how I became friends with).
I feel liberated!

YESSSSS ALESHA FROM MISTEEQ WON STICTLY COME DANCING
CELEB TV JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED
(If slimy Matt from Eastenders had won I wouldn't have been impressed.)
My life is quite dull these days, clearly.

Possibly my favourite sight, EVER. Bunch of tossers.
Why do Liverpool have to go to penalties SO OFTEN though? It takes years off my life expectancy, seriously. Also, I think I showed Andrew up by shouting abuse at Didier Drogba, but oh well.
I ended up getting quite, quite drunk afterwards and had to run home from Uni this morning so that I wasn't sick in the street. Fit.
Back to the library now, then. Joy.

Aha.
I've just spent about 45 minutes between overheardinnewyork.com and overheardatthebeach.com. People are weird.
Bimbette looking up at cliff face: Hey, do rocks eat other rocks?
Guy: ... Huh?
Bimbette: Do rocks eat other rocks? You know, so that they can grow into bigger rocks...
Guy: Are you serious? No, rocks do not eat other rocks.
Bimbette: Then, like... How do they get bigger?
Guy: [Silence.]
Bimbette: Like, what do they eat?
The dissertation is coming on a treat, obv.

| PLEA FOR LAPTOP HELP |
[16 Jan 2007|10:11am] |
OK...
I put my laptop on this morning and it won't play any of my music files. .mp3, .wav, whatever. Other sounds are still working, like the startup music etc, but my music won't play in iTunes or windows media player.... anyone know why? It worked yesterday!
In iTunes the error I get is "iTunes has detected an error in your audio configuration" and in Windows Media Player I get "WMP cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device…”
I had a look at the sound/audio settings in the control panel and it says there is “no default audio playback device”. But surely there WAS? Where has it gone?!
Can anyone help me?!

A book wants to be my friend on Myspace.
This is surely a new low.
