Books I've read this year

1. The Life of Nelson - Robert Southey
2. The Last Days of Krypton - Kevin J. Anderson
3. New X-Men - Grant Morrison
4. This Thing of Darkness - Harry Thompson
5. Hamlet - William Shakespeare
6. Superman Returns - Marv Wolfman
7. Shakespeare - Bill Bryson
8. Buffy Omnibus vol 1 - Misc
9. Buffy Omnibus vol 2 - Misc
10. Spike: Shadow Puppets - Brian Lynch
11. A Portrait of Lord Nelson - Oliver Warner
12. Anything Goes - John Barrowman
13. 500 Reasons Why I Hate The Office - Malcolm Burgess
14. Watchmen - Alan Moore
15. Superman: Birthright - Mark Waid
16. Fray - Joss Whedon
17. Iron Man - Peter David
18. Nelson: A Personal History - Christopher Hibbert

That was definitely the best of my Nelson books. It was very much a 'warts and all' portrayal, painting Nelson as arrogant and vain as well as tactical genius

I would love to see a modern film made that paints Nelson in this way. Don't you think Viggo Mortensen would be perfect for the part. Is it blasphemy to suggest a Danish-American actor to play one of England's greatest heroes? LOL

Next on the list is Sharpe Cut by Linda Blandford

The end is in sight

I had a very pleasant evening last night. I watched Top Ground Gear Force when I got back to my hotel room. It was possibly a little too silly but I did LOL at the fate of poor James's shed. Hehe!

Then I did some writing, or I attempted to at least. Sadly I think my muses are sulking after all the time I've spent focussing on Iron Man. I got a couple of paragraphs of my Apocalypse snippet done and then I couldn't figure out where to take it next, which is frustrating because I've got the rest of it planned out already.

I decided to go for a walk, which often helps, but sadly I am still stuck. However, on my travels I discovered that my hotel is literally 5 minutes away from The Globe Theatre, The Tate Modern Art Gallery and St Paul's Cathedral (where Nelson is buried). So, my muses are still floundering but I did take some nice photos. LOL!

For the most part I don't like London. I think it's dirty, and it bugs me how everyone is always in a rush to get everywhere and I hate getting pushed and shoved but it does have some cool stuff too.

I could never live here though. I am a Northerner through and through

Bad!

I had to go back 40 entries before I found a Smallville related post in my LJ

I am a bad fangirl!

This calls for a new icon post, stat!

By stat I mean probably tomorrow when I get home :(

Spamming today

Ok, one plus side of London is that whenever you need something you don't have to go far for it. I have had a killer headache all afternoon so I popped out during our coffee break and found a newstand that also sells painkillers about 2 minutes away. Win!

I am even more bored today because we're now covering stuff I already know. Oddly, though, I feel more awake for this stuff where I would be at no great loss if I fell asleep *shrug*

I'm amusing myself on LJ instead, hence all the posts.

Going to see Hancock tonight. Should be fun.

Hmm...

Hancock has been getting poor reviews. I had a feeling they showed all the good stuff in the trailer.

Well, we shall see I guess. Will Smith does not have a good track record in my books
