magictreehouseThe past week's been quite slow, hence the lack of update. We haven't really been doing much. I've been getting bits for Xmas which is very ahead of schedule and on Thursday I made James an advent calendar. I didn't realise how difficult it was going to be but I'm pretty pleased with the results. I have a Toy Story one this year :D We might put our tree up tonight as James' Mum is coming to Leeds on Thursday and it would be nice for her to see it. Still, we're heading to Borders after work to pick over its corpse. It's 20% off things others than maps (50%) so we might get some board games. I much prefer Borders than Waterstones, they have a bigger rnage of non-fiction which I prefer to browse. Novels I can just buy on-line as I don't need to flick through them. Where will people buy their strange magazines from now?!
On Sunday night we watched 'Priceless'. Audrey Tautou was in it so that's automatically a hooray from me. It was good though. When it first came out it was billed as the new Breakfast in Tiffany's. I see where they were going but they were wide off the mark. It was funny but there was something just stopping it from being really great. Very enjoyable though, and it's nice to see Audrey in something modern. On a vaguely similar note, the new Empire has Jean-Pierre Jeunet talking about all of his films. Very exciting. I want to skip straight to it but I've got to read the making of issue first. It's interesting how they put their magazine together. All of the previous editors seem to have fallen into the job really easily. One of their editors started at 26! *weeps* My time will come!
On Saturday we went to the German markets at Millenium Sqaure. We ate some great food. A lovely burger and a crepe with cherries in, plus a hot chocolate. So damn good! It was packed though, which was a shame as I could have done with a leisurely look around for presents for people. On the way back I got a HD cable for my Xbox. It makes a big difference surprisingly, especially as I still can't tell High Definition on DVDs (upscaled) or the TV. Technology is confusing!
New Goldfrapp album has been announced. Yay! In March! Boo. The new single's called 'Rocket' and it's a return to upbeat stuff. Excellent. I didn't realise how excited I'd be to hear that a new Goldfrapp album is on the way but it's great news. Yay!
