::They're Coming::
"No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own"
-H.G. Wells

The famous first line from H.G. Wells book War of the Worlds. Went to watch the latest movie adaptation of the book last night and muz say that i was rather impressed. it didn't really stick to the storyline in the book but some aspects of the book were still in there.

was thinking that it might be quite a disappiontment after being brought up listening to the Richard Burton reading of the book (excellent, go download or buy it). but was really on the edge of my seat throughout the two hours.

and they threw in a bit of the book in the mix just to keep a bit of authenticity. like the sinking of the ferry. reminicent of the sinking of the Thunder Child?

overall, really good movie. hey. let's put it this way. if was a gurl or gay (of which i am NEITHER!), Tom Cruise is totally mine.


::It's Over::
Finally the midyrs are over. what a relief. a bit of time to relax before the results come out. which i dread much more than Martians coming.
got a full lineup of stuff to do in the break before sch restarts next thurs.
