What I found out yesterday

 Ryan Gosling is insanely hot.

I went to see Crazy, Stupid, Love and among other things I left with a lot of appreciation for him. Jesus CHRIST there should be some kind of warning.

Also, everybody should see this film. It has Emma Stone being awesome. I don't actually care if she's a natural blonde I think she looks amazing as a redhead. It has Julianne Moore being beautiful and delicate and subtle. It has Steve Carell being heartbreaking and also Steve Carell being hilarious. Oh yeah and. It has Ryan Gosling being gorgeous and lovely and touching and beautiful and charming and just so so attractive. 

It is a film that I found at times to be poignant, sexy, romantic, adorable, heartbreaking and hysterical. It has a male makeover scene. Go see it.

Does anyone have an opinion on tablet computers? I don't know whether to ask for one for my birthday. I can't really tell whether they are awesome or a waste of time. I'm vaguely consider 7" models. I don't know.

Glee has started again. I'm cautiously optimistic, because while this weeks seems to have been a bad episode, ie problematic and kinda stupid, but frankly much better than other bad episodes of Glee. Does that make sense? I'm hoping the general standard has risen. For example, Mercedes has got a plotline! It's not exactly stellar. But I'm still happy she's got one. Mike Chang had lines! And he and Tina are still dating. And the endless glee spoilers over at Tumblr have suggested some interesting things to come. So. Yeah. Here's hoping.

I want a tablet purely so I can have some form of entertainment/email checking/etc during the gaps between lectures. Either that or to use on the sofa when I get a place of my own and inevitably replace the laptop with a desktop :P

And while it's true that it's good that some of the minor Glee characters are getting plot... Why does Mercedes have to be such a bitch in her parts? :/

I basically want a tablet just because I now think my 10" eee netbook is too big. Which I say to people and they think I'm crazy. Particularly my brother, who has now done the laptop --> mega amazing desktop switch over you speak of, and finds the concept that I want something smaller absolutely baffling. But I want something with internet and typing capabilities that is smaller and lighter that I can carry around in my handbag. So I'm considering getting a small tablet instead of a smartphone, basically. But I'm not completely sold. IDK. Maybe I should just get a new netbook battery and get stronger.
(I also feel the pressure to ask for a reasonably expensive tech piece present for my birthday, but clearly I can't actually choose what I want. There's still Christmas to come of course, but in my family that's more a chance for a range of small gifts ie a stack of books.)

They've never really known what to do with Mercedes. I'm hoping it will get better. But yeah, honestly, getting her a plotline at all is totally progress. Ridiculously.

I'm totally with you on the not-knowing-what-to-ask-for-for-presents thing, though. Mum keeps asking me what I want for my birthday, and to be perfectly honest, the only thing I want, aside from the usual list of books the length of my arm, is kind of out of her price range :P A new car would be amazing, though. One with power steering!
