Watch It!!
Vodafone Cartwheel advert
I saw this when I was at BBH, the day it was released. I loved it then and I loved it now.

Books and Words
The Christmas holidays are always a chance to catch up on some books I've been meaning to read, and to read some books I thought I'd hate. They are also a great time to play scrabble on facebook (and before you declare me sad, I got the word oedipean the other day, and in the world of scrabble that makes me cooooool) and with the family. In fact, boardgames of any description (Capitalist mother slaghtering me at monopoly because she always lost as a kid, and hysterical father trying to explain just "who's in the bag") dominate at christmas, and I'm brave enough to admit to LOVING them. Hehe. So I thought that perhaps I ought to do a little book review of some of my favourite books of all time - just for fun really! One a day for a week is my aim!
The books are in no particular order!
Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini
I'm young. I've seen lots of my world and I'd never go so far as to say I'm unexperienced. I put concious effort into making myself see more, do more and feel more than I have before. And this book did just that. It made me cry - nay, it made me sob. Its a heartwrenching book of redemption and regret, painting a picture of torn-apart Afganistan, bloody horror and all.
It broke my heart. For a few days after reading it I had an aching feeling deep inside me, and was on the brink of tears. Never, I repeat, never, has a book upset me so deeply and profoundly.
Only read it if you're mentally prepared!
