Reckless Love (hyperactive glam rock band from Finland – very 80’s!) release their new album ‘Spirit’ a week today. Today they released the video for one of the songs on that album. The song is called ‘So happy I could die’, and it really is a cheerful tune.

I mentioned a couple of days ago that I have trouble getting anything done without deadlines and have been trying to rectify this.
I’ve made a start. On Tuesday night I wrote a list if goals for the month and then the week and then daily. Yesterday I succeeded in completing all my daily goals and two of my weekly goals. Today I complete another of those goals.
It would appear from this that the lists work! Now I just have to see if I can keep going.

I’ve got three book reviews to post, and they’re all too long to do on my phone.

This month I’ve only worked weekends, there being no overtime available, and when I haven’t been at work I’ve had things on. Now I’ve got nothing planned until October, and no overtime coming up. The result? Sleeping too much, eating too much and boredom.

Interesting post I found while going through blogs I follow earlier today. There’s some truly cool historical ladies who need to be better appreciated.
It’s no secret that most Hollywood productions are about men and their stories, and the same goes for historical films. While there have been a handful of famous (and awesome) ladies from history that have dominated the screen, such as Queen Elizabeth I, Cleopatra, and Marie Antoinette, there are plenty of others just as deserving. Historical biopics are always in season (and usually end up on the Oscar-radar) and here I give you ten ladies who I think deserve their own adaption.
1. Tamar of Georgia
Tamar was a Queen of Georgia in the early 13th century and was called the “King of Kings and Queen of Queens”. Her reign is known for making the kingdom politically, economically, and culturally strong. Tamar is a lesser-known Queen who deserves some exposure to Western audiences. Her life of being badass would make a great film.
Previous Films: None
Who Should Play Her: Olga Kurylenko…

Whilst on my holidays in Yorkshire I took a trip to Wetherby. In Wetherby they have The Discount Bookstore, which sells books at a heavily discounted price, up to 80% off apparently.

It’s the middle of August already! I scared myself this morning by working out how long I’d got until the two concerts I’m going to in Nottingham in October. Seven weeks for one (Reckless Love) and ten weeks for the other (HIM).

Book 4 of the ‘Peter Grant Series’
Peter, Lesley and their boss Thomas Nightingale (and Toby the dog) are back, continuing their search for the Faceless Man, while still dealing with all the weird stuff the rest of the Met would rather not admit existed. After several murders and the Spring Court, they track the Faceless Man and his organisation to a housing estate at Elephant and Castle.
