Centipede, I do not know whether to kill you or kiss you

Today, since all my exams for January are over and probably have been failed (bar one tomorrow, but Drama practical hardly counts), I decided to treat myself to a night beside my telly-box. 

I found, to my sheer delight, that the 1996 Classic, James and the Giant Peach was on Film4. With glee, I googled it and found that Simon Callow is the Grasshopper which just made me love it even more if I'm perfectly honest.

I also made the gripping discovery that it was directed by Henry Selick, who was the puppety master behind Nightmare Before Christmas which has to be finding of the day and excited me to the absolute max.

This movie was one of my happy faves when I was a babe. It made me smile when I was blue. I think everyone is in general agreement with me when I say that the spider and the centipede were meant for each other. For the next dress up party I am forced to go to, the Spider will defiantly be my dress of choice as she might be the most beautiful arachnid in existence. Even if she is a puppet

In English Lit at the moment, we are studying Gothic literature. After reading Wuthering Heights (banging, and not just coz the heroine shares my name) I thought I should read more gothic novels to I tucked into Dracula by Bram Stoker. I like it. Lots. I have decided that Tim Burton should do a version. However, none of this CGI business that he seems to have fiddled into Alice in Wonderland. That would upset me. I want classic Burton, I'm talking Beetle Juice Burton. 

Tim Burton produced James and the Giant Peach and Nightmare Before Christmas. 

Fun fact to leave you with I thought.

Merry sleeps my lovelies

Good Evening Kittens, 

This is the first Blog in the Life of a Failing Student. Tomorrow I have an exam and a gold star goes to whoever guesses how well the course is going.

If I manage a B or a C, and I can go to uni. Instead of revision today I have:

1. Watched the "Bacon is Good for me boy" four times on youtube

2. Thought up answers for my examiners e.g. "Margaret Thatcher once said that "there is no such thing as society", so really this exam doesn't exist so I don't need to answer any questions as there is no point"

3. Fallen in love with Malcolm Tucker and his profanities ("come the fuck in, or fuck the fuck off")

4. Not revised for sociology

I left college at 11.50am, and had all day to revise. Unfortunately I have the attention span of a spaniel and did nothing.

more tomorrow, I do have an exam tomorrow after all
