People Places And Things - Ezekiel Honig

Where the Lost Things Go? A Place Called Here . . .

Advantages: Hearing the 'authentic' Irish Accent; the abridging makes the story less meandering
Disadvantages: Some of the incidental plot nuances are lost in the abridging; have to change discs.

I must confess that I was bought the Paperback version of this book first . . . my husband bought a "Best Seller" at the library that was being sold off for 50p and I read it the same night. It was one 'off the wall' book which really struck a chord with me, as my husband often 'tears the house apart" looking for something he mislays; and sometimes it doesn't turn up at all . . . . Or I am looking for a particular CD or Cassette, and I can find the case ~ but it is empty ~ Where HAVE all the lost things gone? Well, it's A Place Called Here according to this book by Dublin-born Cecelia Ahern. She's got some wacky theories, but this one is pretty amazing! . I really did want to hear this in the "original tongue" (Oirr-ish*) as it were, though, and having an Amazon voucher to spend, I couldn't resist buying the audio version ...

Review of A Place Called Here - Cecelia Ahern

The THING !!

Advantages: Very Scary and Bloody
Disadvantages: Nothing

The THING. Let me start by saying that if Kurt Russell had not been in this movie it probably would have been a so-so film. However he lifts the whole film, in my opinion. The film is based on the novel by John W Campbell Jnr and is a remake of the original black and white movie made in 1951 called The Thing from Another World. An American research team are in the Antarctic when one day there world is turned upside down. Firstly with some crazed Norwegian in a helicopter trying to shoot dead a poor running dog and then later when things start happening around the base. The dog it seems is not a dog and soon some of the scientists are not human at all. It seems there is a malevolent alien parasitic organism that has been discovered and then released by the Norwegians and it can take the form of any living thing ...

Lotsa People and things

Advantages: have a lot of things and people I love.
Disadvantages: difficult to narrow down

him with the mushyness. I love him loads. 4- The world - yeah I like different places and different people, and there are enough of each to keep me busy and travelling for the rest of my life. 5- Coffee - Let me put it this way: I have no proper function of my limbs until there is coffee in my system. mmmmmmm......coffeeeeeeee. 6- My Livejournal! I write in it as much as possible, and keep up with my friend's lives daily. A useful tool for keeping in touch! 7- Things on wheels! I am lazy. Very lazy. I like busses and cars and trains and stuff. much faster than walking too. 8- My shoes. I have an addiction. My picture used to be up on the wall next to the register at a Steve Madden store in the mall. I was not allowed to buy shoes. When I do buy shoes, I feel guilty. I have in total, somewhere around 90 pairs ...
