This week has mainly been eaten up by the OMG SGA feelings again. But I still found the time to read, listen and watch some new things! A testement to my insomnia, if nothing else.
Read:
Nigella Lawson's How to Eat
Can I just say here how much I adore Nigella Lawson? I can? Well, it is THIS MUCH. I first dipped into it three weeks ago, and her basic bread recipe has become my staple, and a favourite. I combine it with the onion mixture from 'Happy Days with the Naked Chef' and it makes the most divine onion bread.
Listened To
You know when you listen to an album, then go 'meh' then love it, forget about it, then fall so madly in love it may result in commital?
I have done that with Panic At The Disco's 'Pretty.Odd'. Songs like 'When the Day Met The Night' and 'Mad as Rabbits' are summery, happy and perfect for right now. Though Ryan Ross should stick to guitars- Brendon Urie's voice is too good for him to compete with. In another band, Ross would be a fair vocalist, though.
Watched
SGA. A lot of it. Also Fry and Laurie. I love it so- and this week was the week for comfort TV.

Stories and Songs: Weekly reviews
I've decided to start a weekly review- what I've read, what I've listened to, what I've watched. I am astoryandasong, so it seems appropriate.
This week I read:
Donna Tartt- The Little Friend
Unfortunately this is another time when critics rave and I go 'meh'. I mean, there are so many tropes at work in this book and none of it surprised me at all. I knew from the beginning what the ending would be. The characterisation porn didn't even work the blurb was all oh, the characters are so ORIGINAL. But no. So yeah, meh.
Anne Bishop- The Black Jewels Trilogy
I am currently laughing at the male character called Deamon or whatever, this may not be a good sign but I will soldier on.
This week I watched:
Reaper
Um, how hilarious? Not exactly heavyweight stuff, but funny all the same.
I also re-watched Stargate Atlantis Season 1, because David Hewlett is awesome. Also Joe Flanigan.
This week I listened to:
The Audition
Katy Perry
The Weepies
Funeral For A Friend
