Reply to this meme by yelling - or typing - "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you. Or explain in the comments. Or not at all.![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) fletcherism gave me these: "Primeval" - What can I say about this really? It was (using past tense sucks) just a hell of a lot of fun. A quote I read from Andrew-Lee Potts pretty much sums it up for me: "Really, what's not to like? Primeval is pure, unadulterated family entertainment. It's not pretending to be anything else. It's loud, colourful and fast paced with someone and something in there for everybody". Saturday evenings won't be the same without it. McFly - my favourite band. What's not to love about them really? They're great guys making great music and long may it continue. They are, in my opinion, a lot better than people give them credit for. I'll admit that when they first started making music I thought they were just pretty faces and then I actually listened. I really listened. I hope more people can get past the fact that they're young guys and appreciate that they're a really talented. How good they are is almost like our little secret. Seeley Booth - He's one of my fictional boyfriends and with good reason. He just sums up everything good in a man. He's protective and manly when he needs to be but at the same time he's funny, dorky and a big geek deep down. Oh, and he looks hot in a white shirt. David Boreanaz might be the actor who plays him but I don't love him, I love Booth, who is obviously a completely different person. If only there were guys like him out here in the real world. 24 - The most action packed show on TV. Where else could you see a dead man come back to life and still kick the arses of a room full of terrorists and all in under an hour? A nice fictional place where the good guys always win and the day is inevitably saved. Again.
The colour pink - the happiest, prettiest colour out there. Sometimes I think there should be more pink things in this word but then I realise that if there was they wouldn't be as special. Seeing something pink just makes me smile. Tags: mcfly, meme, tv: 24, tv: bones, tv: primeval

I'm still not handling this heatwave. I can't function in this heat. I'm glad, though, that I've decided to wear shorts this year. I can't even believe I'd been wearing jeans all summer before this year. My legs might not be the best in the world (in fact I know they're not) but given how hot it is right now I don't really care. I can't be wearing trousers in this! Plus, I've grown to be quite comfortable wearing shorts now. It does seem to be cooling down a bit now though which is good. I'm debating whether to get my hair cut again soon or not. Part of me wants to get it down soon but another part of me wants to wait until after the summer. It's currently just long enough for me to put back in a really small pony tail if it gets really warm. I can't do anything with it at the moment though because it keeps getting all sweaty. I can't remember how long ago it was when I last cut it. In other news: this weeks "Chuck" was good. It was especially good to find out a little bit about Sarah's past as we've never really had any background on her before. This season has been good so far even though we're only a few episodes in, I can't wait for Scott Bakula's appearnace. Chuck himself is still adorable, of course. I watched "Eagle Eye" last night - I got the DVD from play.com the other day for £4.99. I really enjoyed it when I saw it at the cinema and was waiting for the price to be good enough before I bought the DVD. I really enjoyed watching it again last night. I actually prefer Shia in movies like this instead of blockbusters like Indy and "Transformers" and he did a good job in this one. I think it would be nice if he worked with DJ Caruso again sometime soon. They seem to work well together. I can't believe it's July already. What's even more crazy is that I only have two more weeks left at work and then it's the summer holidays. I can't believe how quick that's some around. The scary thing is that once the summer holidays are over it not too long before it's Christmas. That's just freaking me out! My new tattoo has scabbed up nicely and is now at the itchy stage. Good sign as it means it's healing well. Really irritating though 'cause I really want to scratch it! Ooh, season two of "Reaper" starts tonight. I've set the Sky+ thing for it already just in case I forget. Tags: movies, random, tattoo, tv: chuck

I headed to the cinema after work again today and saw "Terminator Salvation". To be honest, I wasn't that fussed about seeing the movie but I needed to be somewhere cool and the cinema was the only place I could think of (their air con is a beautiful thing). Having said that, I enjoyed the movie more than I thought I would. Once I got the timeline stuff right in my head it all made perfect sense to me. Even though it is being sold primarily as a Christian Bale movie (I'm still disappointed that Nick Stahl isn't playing John Connor in this movie - I know I'm in the minority but I really liked him in T3). I actually enjoyed the scenes without him in a lot more - especially the Kyle Reese (played by Anton Yelchin) storyline and his interaction with Sam Worthington's ex-con Marcus Wright. Both those actors were really good - and in Anton Yelchin's case, much more appealling to me than Christian Bale. Bale wasn't bad or anything but his character kind took a back seat to the Kyle Reese/Marcus Wright storyline. Incidentally, I had no idea Anton Yelchin was quite that young. Bless ' im. The action sequences were all very well done and the movie as a whole had a nice washed out look about it which seemed to fit in with the bleakness of the future as it's seen in this franchise. McG's movies usually tend to be quite colourful, don't they? Well, not this time. The explosions were very well done - and used just enough for the film and therefore didn't outstay their welcome. Nice touch having the "shooting a petrol truck to blow it up" thing not actually work. Some great references to previous movies too - especially in the lines of dialogue such as "I'll be back", "come with me if you want to live" and "what day is it? What year?" and "Not fate but what we make" but also during the final scenes in the movie and during a scene where John Connor plays Gun n Roses' "You Could Be Mine". Nice to see that the makers of the movie are aware of the previous ones. All in all, while it wasn't as good as "Terminator" or "Terminator 2" (or even T3. I quite like that movie actually) I still enjoyed it and found it to be a good addition to the franchise - with a franchise where timelines are an important feature anything is possible. The storylines that can be told are endless and any inconsistences can be explained away by timeline changes. I also think that this movie stands up quite well on it's own - I think you could still follow it without having seen the previous three movies. I'd probably give it about 7 out of ten. It was better than I thought it was gonna be. Trailers: "Bruno" - no interest al all. "Inglorious Basterds" - a great cast, of course, and it's by Quentin Tarantino. Looks alright, might see it. "Surrogates" - I think this looks like good actually. It's an actioner with a bit of sci-fi thrown in. Plus, it's got Bruce Willis in it. I'll probably see this. "Miss March" - Doesn't really appeal to me but the teenage boys behind me thought the trailer was funny. I don't think I'm the target audience for this one. "2012" - From the director of "Independence Day" and "The Day After Tomorrow" this film looks very familiar and therefore not very origial. It doesn't look bad though and it's got John Cusack in it.

Holy cow! It's hot out there today and I absolutely hate it! Seriously, it's like I totally can't focus on anything in this heat and it's practically too hot to move. God, I really wish it was winter right now. Plus, I didn't have a clue what to wear today, I didn't want to have my new and healing tattoo on show because of where it is, I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to put suntan lotion on a fresh tattoo and I didn't want to burn. I've ended up wearing a loose fitting shirt type of thing because it covers it up but it also doesn't rub it. Hopefully that was the right decision. Trust me to get a new tattoo at the beginning of the hottest week of the year. This new tattoo is weird actually. Well, not the tattoo really but how I feel about it. Because I can't see it I think I'm imagining that it's really big and ugly and then I decide I don't like but then I look at it in the mirror and decide that's not big and ugly and then I think I like it. Not that it really makes any difference really as it's there now whether I like it or not. I do like it. I think. I'm pretty sure it's the location making me feel this way - because I can't admire it every minute of the day like I've done with my others! Lol! Anyway, in other news: Keeley Hawes is gonna be at the London Film and Comic Con in a few weeks - she was only added the other day and I only saw her name on the site yesterday. With Scott Bakula and now Alex Drake LFCC looks like it's gonna be awesome. There's loads of other guests cool guests there too. I'm looking foward to it. I watched "Made of Honor" last night - as "Supernatural" isn't on right now (waaaaaaaaah!) I had to watch something last night. The film was better than I was expecting actually. Patrick Dempsey was suitable charming in it - I used to like him in those old 80's movies he used to do but I was never a fan of him as McDreamy in "Grey's Anatomy". As there's nothing on TV tonight either - bloody summer schedules! Yet another reason to dislike this season - I'll probably end up watching some random movie or other.
