Sons of Anarchy

Hm. New Tuesday night series 'Sons of Anarchy' started last night. I like it, looks like there will be a lot of plot going on in the show, looking forward to next week already.
Charlie Hunnam, who would have thought it, eh? I vaguely remember him from Queer as Folk, though that was a long time ago - but was happily surprised to hear he's been working in the States for 10 years now - doesn't sound like he's from Newcastle any more, that's for sure.



Anyways. The series is about a motorcycle gang that in a sort of twisted way sees itself as the protector of their community. They want to keep drugs out of the streets of their town, but are happy to traffic guns. The main character is Jackson Teller (Hunnam), his father founded the club after his return from Vietnam. He finds himself caught in between loyalty to the club and the way of life and to what he feels is right. Looks to be an epic struggle to me. Oh and lovely to see Katey Sagal as Jax's mom (remember she used to be in Married... with Children) - I really really like her.

Rant! Rave! Complain!

I HATE password resets. Fucking twitter has locked me out as too many failed login attempts. Well the thing is, I type in the right username AND password and it still won't recognise it! I reset the stupid passowrd once already, not relishing doing it again, arghhhh!

And it's 7.30am on Saturday and I have been up for an hour already, I mean that's just not normal at all...
Hubby still sleeping, so may spend the morning wisely playing Sims...*smirk*

So there.

:)

Sorry it's been too long

I know, shameful that it's taken me three weeks to get back in this - sorreee!

So...what exciting things have I gotten into? Not an awful lot.
Finished my Supernatural(*sniff*)but discovered that there are still some episodes left of s4 on TV, so am still getting my fix. But I try not to pay too much attention, cause I want to wait til I have the whole new series at home, but on the other hand, I cannot help myself.



I have made some new friends over at Last.fm, mainly cause of this new band I told you about, Awestruck. They are a bit strange, not in any kind of a bad way, but it takes more than one listen to get one's head around them. They are beginning to grow on me, will report back later with stats!

I've seen a few films since the last time we spoke, firstly I saw Monsters vs Aliens. It was HILARIOUS! Visually stunning, of course, but I just loved all the gags and stuff, I haven't laughed that much in a while.
What else... oh, also saw Happy Feet, you know the penguin movie. It was soo cute, very heartwarming and just lovely, I would recommend it to anyone.

And then, we went to see Wolverine. I was really looking forward to it, cause I quite liked the X-men movies. I wasn't disappointed, it was spectacular. I can see why the critics' comments were somewhat negative, I mean it's not going to make cinematic history, the story was maybe a little forced and it dragged a bit between the action scenes - but what action scenes they were! I liked the Gambler guy, though it was never really clear to me whether he will become a permanent fixture in the x-men universe later or if he's just a one-off guy. And, c'mon, any movie that features Hugh Jackman half-clad the entire movie, gotta be good!
Going to see Star Trek in two weeks' time, can hardly wait for that - trying not to read any reviews on it so as not to spoil it.




Got my first glimpse of Final Fantasy XIII the other day - oooooohhh! It's released in Japan in December, so at the moment the UK launch date is in January 2010 - I so will be first in line to buy it! For me, it will justify the buying of the PS3, otherwise it's just a very expensive DVD player...
