There's no rule against elaboration miamee :pac:

Went home to Killarney Saturday after staying in and relaxing Friday night watching loads of New Girl, slept loads at home and ate well, finished off by getting some nice shirts for work in Burton and one or two other bits before returning to Cork, heading to the gym and then taking it easy for the evening.

What, they don't charge per letter any more? :P

I was at Riverdance on Friday - brilliant, honestly, I didn't know what to expect but I really enjoyed it. Headed in to watch the Pride parade on Saturday and managed to be right in the thick of the protest that stopped it for a time on O'Connell Street - typical me :pac: - and was at the cinema on Sunday with my best friend and her two little girls. Big thumbs up for Monster's University

I watched Monsters Inc. on Saturday at home - seriously Pixar movies are the business!

Had a quiet weekend myself.

Myself and herself cleaned the house from top to bottom,went for food and cinema date Saturday night them yesterday had a ridiculously delicious home cooked fillet steak dinner with all the trimmings.

You can't beat a good steak

What you go see?

Got my hands on Cloud Atlas and Requiem for a Dream so must try watch them this week.

I started reading Cloud Atlas a few weeks ago and stopped about halfway through. I really wasn't enjoying it at all. It' unusual for me to leave a book unfinished but it was starting to feel like a chore to read it rather than something enjoyable. Have you read it or just going to watch the film?

Just watching it I'd imagine - I'm awful for books, I finished Gatsby on hols and I've a couple of chapters of 1984 read but that's about it - I'll try to finish 1984 in the next few weeks because I have one or two more classics I want to read also

Oh wait - I think we have had this book convo before

Am readinf 'Inferno' now (Dan Brown new one) as I knew once I got a few chapters in, I'd rip through it. Dying to read a bit later (cue the groans from the book snobs :pac:)

This is the End,dumb as hell but pretty funny.

Requiem for a Dream is one of those movies that I heard pretty much everyone rave about but it completely underwhelmed me,be interested in your thoughts.

Only ever heard people raving about it also so yeah looking forward to seeing it - has a rating of 8.4 or so on IMDB so I'd expect it to be good

I nearly fell into the Monsters Inc trap on Saturday as well but was constantly changing over to watch bits of it. Pixar rocks. I really need to see Ratatouille, Brave and Cars 2. I've seen the others.

When it comes to books, I'm really bad as well. Too many other things to do when could be reading books. I read comics and play the 3DS. Took me about a year to get through a Dexter book. Doing better with Dexter is Delicious.
How's Inferno, miamee? Is there a really pointless subplot involving the female character in this one as well?

I replayed Portal 2 at the weekend. Completely unintentional.

Hope to go see This is the End this week. If only to get the The Doors song out of my head.

Of course there is, lol. Well there is a female side kick character anyway who is helping him to escape. There gave been a few mentions of her colourful past so I'm looking forward to that unravelling :pac:
I saw Dan Brown at the Dublin Writers Festival this year and you know what? He is an interesting, nice, down to earth, simple guy. His father is a scientist and his mother a church pastor or something, hence his obsession with science and religion and how they fit together (or not).

CastorTroy · 01-07-2013 08:00PM

With DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons, the female characters and their backgrounds were relevant to the story yet in the lost symbol, all the research the character was doing that he went into such detail with had nothing to do with the main story

miamee · 01-07-2013 11:25PM

I haven't actually read the Lost Symbol, just the other two. I'm sure it won't impact on my enjoyment of the book

CastorTroy · 02-07-2013 12:43AM

I very rarely read/watch/play anything without completing the earlier ones in the series. Just a bad habit I have which is why I fall so far behind in things. Something comes out, looks good, I find out it's a sequel to about 2 or 3 others so then I think I have to complete the others before I do this one.

Guessing it's like OCD

Kev.OC · 02-07-2013 02:56AM

Came home from the pub at around 3am last night/this morning and it was still like 20 degrees out.

The Black Oil · 02-07-2013 08:25PM

That's mad.
Wouldn't want to be in Arizona now - poor sods.

Kev.OC · 03-07-2013 05:15AM

God no. Pushing up into the high forties there, I believe. Not fun at all.

Pepe LeFrits · 03-07-2013 08:30AM

Was there two summers ago - 47 degrees during the day at 30 degrees at midnight. Crazy, might as well have been living on a moon base for all my ability to go outside.

Zombienosh · 03-07-2013 08:51AM

^ Sounds like hell. If it goes over 20 I die.

D'Agger · 03-07-2013 09:14AM

Bring on the heat!

Hoping to have a BBQ

Barna77 · 03-07-2013 10:07AM

Man flu

Heat is on me, I'm dying slowly...
