Rien...
Hehehe. Only joking! Happy Bastille Day! Sorry I've been neglecting you lot recently. I've been having second thoughts about Facebook, and actually, it's quite good fun! Please don't panic, this here blog'll still be my main site, but in the same way as twitter lets me find out the latest celeb goings-on (SFG back in the studio!!!!!), facebook lets me keep in running with all the latest gossip from school. Anyway, I've got plenty to talk about today, so make yourself comfy!
First of all, Torchwood: Children of Earth was recently aired, and it was, without a doubt, FANTASTIC television! I don't think I've been that hooked since watching Series 1 of Heroes. In fact, so much so that, when they got to the end, I felt really cheated out of a "proper" finale. It was just, "Well, if you're gonna do it that way, a two-parter would have sufficed." But in terms of the build-up of storytelling, genius! And such awesome music as well! Such a great leap forward from the previous series. So, all things considered, is that the end of Torchwood? As in, the end end. I mean, {[SPOILERS]} the Hub's been blown up, Captain Jack's gone, Ianto's dead, and Gwen's pregnant. Not really a great alien-busting team. {[SPOILERS END]} On the other hand, it could spawn a load of spin-offs - Once you've had "Children of Earth", what's to stop them making "Adults of Earth" or "OAPs of Earth". That would be epic! Maybe...
Second, I've also been hoked on Sims 3 recently, leveling my central Sim in writing so I can start work on my first masterpiece. It's a really addictive game, and I haven't played any of the others, but I would seriously reccomend it to absolutely anyone! The range of customisations and choices is incredible, as is the graphical detail. But there's not really much more I can say about that, other than go and play it yourself.
Third, just another small note. I'll dedicate a whole post to this some other time, but aussie music is really brilliant. I reckon it's probably my second favouric music by nation, after Spain. They've got the Veronicas, Rogue Traders, Howie Day, Lenka, Rolf Harris and (though I'm not a massive fan) Kylie. Controversial stuff to say during Ashes season, but not unfounded. Stay tuned for more on that one.
More and more is revealed each day about Muse's mysterious masterpiece, "United States of Eurasia". I think they said they were going for a July release. That's something to look forward to! And then the album, which sounds awesome from the track listing, "The Resistance", is released on 14th September. Not that long!
Finally, I'm due to head off to Spain tomorrow, so the usual drill applies. I'll try to wi-fi something over here if I can, but if not, stay tuned for a complete diary when I get back on Tuesday!
Hasta la vista!
Jack
