think i’m going in the water again, maybe this time i’ll just float along.

wow, quite a bit to write about!

firstly, the golden compass. we saw it on saturday. now, as a film on its own it was fairly decent. definitely rushed and confusing for those who haven’t read the book, but it was a decent film. lots of big stars in the film too, i guess that’s a good thing? i don’t know. anyway, to those who have read the book: it is the biggest letdown of the year. it barely follows the book, with things changed (they say the alethiometers were destroyed, but in the book there are about 4). i was sat there going “what?” a lot since it didn’t follow the book, which it should have done since the book is about a million times better. that said, we had fun in the cinema anyway.

saturday we went to newcastle, and i saw leigh. we walked around, got wet, looked around the shops, drank hot chocolate, got a free hot chocolate, went to the cinema, had fun in the cinema, lost glasses in the cinema and so on. i had a great time.

speaking of films, there is a chance that there might be a pocoyo movie! to those who don’t know, pocoyo is a little kids tv show, shown on CITV. it’s awesome. anyway, reading through stuff on the wikipedia article, it mentions this:
“Two series have been produced, each consisting of 52 seven-minute episodes. A future third series is on hold as the makers wish to embark upon other projects, one of which may be a Pocoyo movie.^“
a pocoyo movie! how awesome would that be? oh i’m excited already. but i’ll keep it under control, i know what happens when i get excited about a movie.

how big are battles now? i heard “atlas” on TOP GEAR last night. top gear! i never expected to hear battles on top gear, but they’ve also made appearences on jools holland and are featured in the guardians top 20 albums of 2007.

big up to the boro, who beat arsenal 2 - 1 yesterday. unbelievable. we played brilliantly and would have got it 2-0 if it weren’t for arsenal’s final goal in the 95th minute.

and in one week i’ve racked up nearly 2,000 views. that’s pretty cool. thought i’d mention it. also, i did this, it’s quite cool:

okay, maybe not quite a bit to write about.
