Yesterday Liz and I made the 5 minute chocolate mug cake for breakfast and it was amazing.
We got the bus into town to do some food shopping so we can last this final week of term. I was also going to get another controller for the 360 but it totally slipped my mind. We shall have to journey to St Helens over the holidays instead. I'll be able to get Halo:ODST in the same trip too so it'll be good. We're planning to play through all four Halo games on co-op while we're at mine; I just hope Liz doesn't get bored/annoyed with them. If she does we'll have to make even more food instead. We plan on making bread, jam and fudge, but that list keeps on growing. I can't wait to get home now. After listening to the Halo soundtracks I really want to play the games again.
Back in Fylde, Liz read the final chapters of The Picture of Dorian Gray aloud to me so I could say I'd finished at least one book this year. So much for my New Year's resolution to read more - month 3 and I've finished a total of one. It was really boring though. The language Oscar Wilde uses is too...descriptive? Every little detail that didn't need explaining is explained. It sort of felt like he had a story but it was too short so he needed to pad it out - like in school when an essay isn't quite long enough so you put random waffle in to bump up the word count.
For tea we grilled the burgers we had bought from the butchers in town. I thought they were brilliant. We have some more (but a different kind) for tonight and I am very much looking forward to them.
Avatar was on at the university cinema. We got there 20 minutes before doors even opened to make sure we got our seats but we still weren't the first to arrive.
The film was epic. I was totally engrossed in it. When Jake was giving the big "This is our land!" speech and all the Na'vi cheered I had to stop myself from joining in with the cheering. I liked the characters I was supposed to like and I hated the characters I was supposed to hate. The only thing I didn't like was how Jake just got rid of his alien pterodactyl thing for the big red and orange dragon monster bird. There was some emphasis on how the alien pterodactyls stay with their rider for life and then it was cast aside just like that, never to be seen again.
When we left the cinema Liz and I said that despite it being an awesome film we wouldn't go to see it two nights on the run. Now, however, a day later, I think I would go and see it again tonight if there was nothing else to do. But there will be something else to do so that's irrelevant.
