You know what? I am a very, very sad person but I've actually planned out my week according to TV.

Tonight is The Matrix night, which I am really looking froward to, cos I think tha Dad will like it, and it'll just be the two of us. That hasn't happened for a while. I like Mum too, obviously, but I haven't done something with just my Dad before. What can I say- he's my Daddy! :) Thats one of the reasons why I'm looking forward to SG6- it'll just be me and Dad in a car for four hours. We have VERY similiar music tastes, and we argue sometimes, but we can normally get on. So yeah. This should be fun.

Tomorrow is revise until my brain hurts and then watch Buffy and Angel. YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

Friday is Big Brother Opening Night. I'm a lot pissed off that Guides is on too, but it's finishing early, and then I'm going to come home and look at the people I will be watching obsessively on the 24 hour access thing on E4. I can't wait. Is that really sad?

Saturday is EUROVISION SONG CONTEST! Crap, cheesy fun. Can't wait, which is the worrying part. But I like Eurovision! It's always so much fun, really. AND scandal of scandals, tATu are playing for Russia this year! Gasp!

Anyway. I have no idea why I wrote all that down. But I did. Welcome to MY world!

I recommend 'Holes', I really really do. It's easy to read, very weird, but worth it if only to be able to say 'yes, I've read that, isn't it weird?'. I like allof Louis Sachar's works, actually, they're all weird. 'There's a boy in the girls' bathroom' is possibly my all-time favourite - it made me cry.

I mean to read all of those books. Starting now: I'm off to read 'The Great Gatsby', finally.

And I agree about the Potter thing, it's most aggravating.

Channel 5

You are so lucky, we live in an areathat only gets channel 5 through Sky or Digital (i think) which means we need somebody to record it so we can watch it. I may just watch the Making of thing anyway - through snowy (yes we have it - just very very snowy and unrecordable :()

Yep, i'd reccomend "Holes" too, it's definitely one of my favourites! I'm not actually sure how many of those books i've read, but i do want to read the His Dark Materials Trilogy, my sister says they're brilliant and i've always meant to. Silly Harry Potter...
