Repairman
Literary, Watched August 3rd, 2007I watched Amélie today and I really enjoyed it! It was probably the most quaint and delightfully imaginative thing I’ve seen in recent times. The directing was superb, the music was charming and Amélie is such an adorable, unique and interesting character. If you take all the adult themes out, she strikes me as a character that Roald Dahl would write in his children’s books. Lots of funny and clever moments. The movie gave me a happy, warm and fuzzy feeling, and a strong desire to eat a croissant.
Also, Tim bought me Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell the other day, I’ve heard lots of good things about it. It’s a dauntingly big read but I plan to get around to reading it soon. The idea of magic portrayed in a tongue-in-cheek way in times of Napoleon… that’s appealing in its own right!
Also I’m planning to implement a tag cloud plugin (on a separate page). That way I can make my categories more broad while getting to tag the many topics I blog about.
Edit: Ack sorry for the multiple entries, I didn’t realise that it had posted so many times (database was going screwy when I was trying to post it).

Wow, 3 repairman entries, don’t know which one to read :P
First time I’m hearing about that movie, but that face on imdb (on the left side), it looks really familiar, going to have to check it out!
Have fun with reading that novel, sounds appealing but I’ve never been much into books, when you read it post what’s it about, might be interesting :)
I think I’ve read one of Roald Dahl’s short stories. Not sure which one it was though. I think it was one called “Lamb To The Slaughter”. I read it for English class and it was actually really funny! I was impressed. I had not known him beofre then.
I’ve read Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell two years or so ago – I liked it very much, though the first 2 parts are lots of ramble… It gets really exciting towards the end though ;)
