My last post was about the new BBC makeover of Jane Austen’s Emma. The series has come to an end and I thought it was fab. Nothing like seeing Jonny Lee Miller in a period drama. Against convention I always struggled liking Kate Beckinsale’s Emma and loved innocent gwyneth paltrow’s version of Emma. Romola Garai [...]
Hoooray! A new BBC adaptation of Emma is on my screen. There is nothing I like more than Jane Austen’s stories, both in print or on the (small) screen.
Emma is being played by gorgeous Romola Garai (Daniel Daronda) and Jonny Lee Miller (Mansfield Park) makes for a dashing Mr Knightley. This is a modernised version [...]
So my Christmas job at the bookstore came to an end at the beginning of January and just as I caught my breath I got employed by my local council to design a Community Safety website. Now I’ve done some website building, but not that much and not recently at all. So I’ve been working [...]
I’ve not been blogging for a while now and this is due to the fact that I’m really busy. Half November I started a temp job working as a bookseller in a big shoppingmall near where I live (Bluewater). This means that I don’t have much time off. The time I do have off work [...]

If you haven’t heard about The Secret they you’ve either been living in a cave or been in outer space. It was all the buzz in 2007. However if you don’t KNOW what The Secret is, then I can’t blame you. It’s all a bit vague and unless you actually see the DVD or read [...]
Sometimes you just don’t know. No matter how hard you think, you just can’t get your brain to work. It’s in there and you know it is, but you can’t get it out. So what do you do?? You get online and type.
I was plagued by this know-but-don’t-know phenomenon every time I saw this add [...]
If you haven’t heard them yet, you better get going and drop by The Perez Hilton Blog or for a download visit Pop Music Kingdom and search for Britney for the songs to show.
I’m not sure if I’ve heard enough to have any sort of opinion on it yet. Most of the songs seem happy [...]
