see you in a week

I am flying to New York tomorrow for a week so wont be posting for a while. But don't worry I've got a stock pile of books and films to review and the postman has been busy as well, so have lots to write when I get back! I am staying near central park and in true Jenny style have no plans, will go where the wind and mood takes me! But one thing is for certain I will have a good time. See you all soon!

Bargain of the day!

I use the word 'bargain' very loosely!!!! bought 2 reference books "Collins Fact File" and "The Penguin Dictionary of Quotations" for £5 from my local Oxfam shop, don't know if I am a miser or I am being unreasonable but think £5 is excessive for second hand books! The reason I bought these books is I am trying to develop my own little reference library to help with my course (any suggestions welcome). Sadly cheaper charity shops don't tend to stock reference books regularly so am stuck with Oxfam book shop for now!

What the postman brought me 5

Suprise, suprise, this is becoming a habit, another Midsommer Murder this time Stranglers Woods! What attracted me to this dvd, apart fom the price, is it stars Sting's wife, Trudi Styler. Ithink she is a very good producer, my favourite is A guide to recognising your saintshttp://http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0473488/. Am interested to see her acting, hope i am not disapointed!

What the postman brought me part 4

Nora Roberts -The Calhouns, Suzanna & Megan. A kind soul From Read it swap sent it to me. I have not physically read any Nora Robert books but have listened to 2 of her audio books and really enjoyed them. I hope that reading turns out to be as good as listening!

Wolfman

I braved the cold last night and took a trip to the cinema last to see The Wolfman. http://http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780653/Which I really loved and had me hooked for the whole of the showing. I could not tear my eyes away from the Gothic and dark scenery, from the barren moors to the dark and menacing gypsy camp. It was simply stunning. The Cast was fantastic and worked very well together. Anthony Hopkins was dark and menacing as Sir John Talbot. I think his natural accent and the connotations of Hannibal Lector, give him a malevolent air. Benicio Del Toro was a huge gamble as Lawrence Talbot. First of all, after seeing the trailer, i thought he didn't look physically right for Victorian England and I couldn't remove the sound of his natural accent from my head! was absolutely gorgeous, he could attack me any day! But in reality he blended into the film really well, his accent was very believable, his acting was good and his emotions was believable, all in all very good. Emily Blunt was suitably cast as Gwen, must look up some of her films! and Hugo Weavings portrayal of arrogant Abberline was phenomenal, almost wanted the wolf to eat him. The Wolves themselves was not as good as the wolves in New Moon. Overall well worth the £5.20 cinema ticket

Angel news

Angels continuing to grow at a rapid pace! She is developing into a very girly cat, she loves my handbags, coats and hair bobbles. It's got me thinking if she was a boy would she still like these? She has taken to sleeping on my glass table, on her little pink bed! She also climbed into an empty Stella Artois box, so I have cut a little flap into it so she can have that as her bed, only problem is it makes me feel a bit of a cheap cat mummy! But i guess monetary value of items is not big on Angels agenda! She is continuing to eat really well, tried he with some fresh chicken and kitten milk, no vomiting.....a success! I've also successfully given her worming syrup. Things are going well in Angels world!

What the postman brought me part 3

Kind Mr postman has delivered to my post box (I live in a flat) the DVD Midsommer Murders- Judgement Day. Again, I've been racking my brains (didn't take long!) to create some witty and humorous monologue to hide my embarrassment at loving this show. But I couldn't think of anything, so i guess I'll stick to being embarrassed!
