Things I Like

Hello there,

Before I do a proper entry later in the week I thought I'd mention a ten things that I like at the moment.

The picture above (of Emma at a wedding) refers to the entry below this one - which is written by the Emster herself. Read that if you haven't already as it's dead good.

Anyway, here are things that I like.

1. The Film 'Juno'. This is one of the bestest films I have seen ever. I saw it on the plane on the way back from England and I was amazed by how ace it was. It's all about a girl who gets up the duff, and her subsequent pregnancy before she gives the baby up for adoption. It's one of the best films I have ever seen in my life and it has the bestest soundtrack ever (which I have since bought off itunes). With 'Belle and Sebastian' and 'Mott The Hoople' you can't go far wrong.

2. Jamba Juice. In the US they have this fruit smoothie store called 'Jamba Juice', which they pump with extra vitamins of your choice. I have mentioned this before but I love it more than ever. It's a delicious meal in a very big cup.

3. Running. I am in training for the LA Marathon next March. When I run with my ipod on dead loud I enter another world. I'm not sure what the world is, or what's it called - but I like it there.

4. The American version of 'Gladiators' (not the rubbish Sky remake). Hulk Hogan is the best presenter ever, and I get very excited when he calls the audience "Gladiator Maniacs". I like to whoop with delight at this point. The series has now ended. This makes me sad.

5. Cinamon and Raisin bagels from 'Trader Joes'. They are so yum yum I could eat ten in a row. But I won't do that as that would be greedy.

6. The new Keane single. I don't mind saying that I think it's flippin' brilliant. I am 32 so I'm allowed to like Keane anyway. That is the joy of being in your thirties. You can just like what you want to like without trying to be cool.

7. Fox Soccer Channel. It has every Premiership game live it seems. Emma hates it but I think it is a gift from god. I watched four matches this weekend, and all before mid-day which means I didn't waste the day! Not that watching football is wasting the day but you know what I mean.

8. Sushi. I am having more and more sushi as it's the cool thing in LA. I could eat it until it comes out of my ears.

9. David Bowie. I have always loved David Bowie but I can't stop playing him at the moment. I don't know why but I'm on a huge Bowie tip, it's like I'm 13 all over again. And I don't care what anyone says, Tin Machine really did have some flipping brilliant songs. And people forget the first album got loads of dead good reviews when it came out and got to no.2 in the charts. 

10. The BBC Program 'Would I Lie To You'. Yes, it's a cheap panel show - but it makes me laugh out loud every week. I like David Mitchell. He is a very funny man.

Bye,

Marc x
