34. Poison - Chris Wooding
35. The Scarlet Pimpernel - Baroness Orczy
36. What's Eating Johnny Depp - Nigel Goodall

As I said earlier, What's Eating Johnny Depp wasn't the most well written of books. Nigel Goodall seems to have a worse idea of grammer and sentence structure than me! There was also a rather large element of bias but it was a semi-interesting read.

Next on the list is The Iliad by Homer. This is going to be a slog. Essentially it is a novel length poem. It's going to take me a while to get through it I think. Thankfully I am at least vaguely familiar with the story so that should help. Plus if I managed The Canterbury Tales this should be similar.

Baa!

You are The Moon

Hope, expectation, Bright promises.

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.

The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a card that has to do with sleep, and so with both dreams and nightmares. It is a scary card in that it warns that there might be hidden enemies, tricks and falsehoods. But it should also be remembered that this is a card of great creativity, of powerful magic, primal feelings and intuition. You may be going through a time of emotional and mental trial; if you have any past mental problems, you must be vigilant in taking your medication but avoid drugs or alcohol, as abuse of either will cause them irreparable damage. This time however, can also result in great creativity, psychic powers, visions and insight. You can and should trust your intuition.

Take the Test to Find Out.

Oh bollocks!

Last month I bought some train tickets so I could go to London and visit Derek and Matthew before Christmas. As it turns out I am now being sent down there to do a training course for my new job and they are paying for my train fare. Went to the station to get a refund on the tickets I'd bought myself only to be told they were non-refundable because they were cheap advance tickets

Any of my York based friends interested in buying them from me? As I said, they're advance tickets so very cheap.

Oh dear...

I just entered a bunch of icontests. It's been ages since I did this and all my icon making skills appear to have gone out the window. Ah well, it killed a bit of time anyway

Dinner and BSG now

( BSG 3.08 )

Oh dear...

I'm turning into one of those crazy people jacqui_hw talked about. I want to creat a MySpace account so I can read Nathan's journal

Help me!

Layout question

I know some of the pre-made layouts give you the option to list your tags in the sidebar. Anyone know how I do that with Flexible Squares?
