The Social Worker and the horse- spoilers for Hannibal s2 e8 (and in general)

I was catching up on Hannibal last night, and I found something about s2 e8 rather disturbing. Will and Hannibal saw Peter sewing his social worker into the womb of a dead horse, but did they try to help him get out? No. Not even Will. I suppose it just goes to show how revenge is a dish best served bloody. Don't be a psychopath, nobody's going to want to help you when someone gets their revenge on you. And you might end up sewn into a dead horse, or your own mural of dead bodies, or eating a steak from your own leg. Or perhaps worse. Now there's a scary thought. Sleep well, but remember- your neighbour could be the next Hannibal Lector.

The Game of Thrones Adventures

Well, I'm currently reading A Game of Thrones by George R R Martin, and I'm about 3/4 (page 650 of the UK edition) of the way through the book. And it's amazing, but also a little bit infuriating, because so much is going on in so many different places that I keep forgetting who minor characters are, or little incidents I don't think much of and forget about are referenced in other chapters and I can't remember about them, or it takes me forever to realize that there's a connection between people because I've forgotten their house. Nonetheless, I'm really enjoying it and I'm looking forward to what's to come, and also to watching the TV show (I hear it's amazing, but I promised myself I'd read the book first). I have A Clash of Kings, and A Storm of Swords part 1, so I'm set for the next few months of A Song of Ice and Fire obsession

Red Horses and Sarcasm

Sometimes I just like to play with the mouse pointers on old Windows computers. I could watch that horse gallop across my screen for hours. Yes, I'm highly mature (sadly, sarcasm doesn't work as well on the internet as it does when speaking)

Spider Solitaire is my life

Another school related post. Because of the year I'm in, we spend a lot of time in the computer room. Also because of the year I'm in, we're not given very much work to do. So, since we have a lot of free time on our hands and the firewall works better than the internet, we've become very good at spider solitaire, one of the few built in games on the PCs. I have it on my phone now. It's really rather addictive.

Why do phones have to die?

Well, I'm in school, my best friend is at out, so I was listening to music to cheer myself up. Then, right in the middle of lunch, my phone battery died leaving me no music and no phone games to distract myself from school. Why do phones always seem to die when you need them? Well, I believe the answer is simple. I, in my infinite wisdom, forget to plug my phone in at night. But still. Fuck sake.

My refound love for My Chemical Romance

I was listening to MCR last night, and it reminded me of how much I like them. The troubles is, everyone thinks of "Teenagers" when they think of MCR. If you don't know MCR, don't listen to "Teenagers" because (in my opinion and the opinion of a lot of others) it's not their best song.It's a good song, great for dancing, but some of my favourite MCR songs are: "Welcome to the Black Parade"; "Famous Last Words" and "Na na na". Go listen to them, they're amazing.

Google, sort yourselves out

Not that I expect any traffic from Sudan or South Sudan on my blog, but I expect Google to be up to date. South Sudan has been a sovereign state since 9th July 2011 and is a UN member nation. It doesn't take 3 years to update a map. I expected better of you Google. I've a mind to come complaining to Silicone Dock. Google, sort yourselves out, you've no excuse. *Rant over*

Star Trek vs. Racism- a meaningful post

Star Trek happened in the 1960s when racism was still a problem in the west, especially America. Yet, despite everything, there was an African-American woman, a Japanese man and a Russian man all in charge of stations on the ship and recurring cast members. Just one of the reasons Star Trek is brilliant. And Voyager has a Native American on as Commander, and all the other examples, aside from the fact that you really do have different races (Vulcans, Bajorans, other ones I can't spell) . Only watching Star Trek again now that I'm not, like, seven makes me realize that the technology isn't the only futuristic thing about it. Gene Roddenberry was quite a visionary. I suppose we can only try to make an Earth as peaceful as the one in Star Trek. Meanwhile, we can all start by trying our best to get over our prejudices, however an impossible task that may seem

A Song of Ice and Fire- don't read the blurbs!

Okay so I'm currently reading A Game of Thrones, and when I was given A Clash of Kings and A Storm of Swords part 1 for Christmas, I read the blurbs of them, as you do, and managed to spoiler something I think is going to be fairly major for myself. So the moral is, don't read the blurbs of the next book!!

Sherlock's back- Oops, it's gone again

Sherlock Season 3- Contains Several Spoilers 

Well, for any Sherlockians out there January 2014 was the month the two year hiatus finally ended, and three more 90 minute episodes arrived to our screens courtesy of BBC. Opinions on these were mixed. Some thought they were too light,others thought they portrayed the human side of Sherlock, many believed they found the plot lines on tumblr and in fan fiction (especially that Sheriarty one, although no complaints here, I only envy Andrew Scott). And as another hiatus begins, season 3 has left the internet in even more turmoil than it found it. Only now we can be sure we'll be getting season 4. And there is speculation http://uk.news.yahoo.com/sherlock-season-4-premiere-date-revealed-065112418.html#yNQPr3z that we could get it as early as Christmas, if the actors can make it to film. So, we've got all year to wonder and go insane, and if you're good maybe Moriarty will give you a Christmas present to remember. The year Sherlock didn't take two years to return. I hope this news will brighten your January, since the sun doesn't seem to be doing that very well.
