Excellent news! TIM McGRAW has a new best of coming out including the fantastic live like you were dying!!! Sadly it doesn't have "drugs or jesus" or "refried dreams" but it does have one called "grown men don't cry" which sounds promising. There's lots of songs to listen to on his website. This almost makes up for my nice new freeview box refusing to work with my telly. All together now, I went skydivin'. I went rocky mountain climbin'. I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu-Manchu...

Chemistry Su Doku is now available from the RSC, although its not as exciting as I'd hoped (and I'm easily pleased). There's a couple to try on this link.
"Now chemists can enjoy Su Doku problems which have been specifically designed with them in mind. The task is still to complete every row, column and cube in the 9x9 grid, as in a normal puzzle, but using chemical symbols and elements in place of numbers."

Today's taste sensation: Salt and vinegar crisps (squares but others may be OK) and blueberry yogurt coated raisins. Its a winner!!! (update- I've run out of crisps and the raisins definitely aren't as nice on their own.)

Songs For Sixty Five Roses is a North Carolina cover record for cystic fibrosis or as kids would say sixty five roses.
"Flashes of aural recognition spill constantly from "Songs for Sixty Five Roses" like South of the Border signs in rural South Carolina. And like those billboard reminders of Pedro, these tunes will bring smiles and memories of "where-were-you-then?" moments for many North Carolina music fans."

I got to see the Ant and Dec film last night, Alien Autopsy. My favourite moment was the kid at the front of the cinema's cry during the opening credits of "oh no, not Ant and Dec". Not a great choice for him really. I quite liked the film and I would recommend watching it if its on telly one night. Made me smile anyway.
Here's a link on fake claims about the Alien Autopsy. There's also this Newsround Ant and Dec quiz which shamefully I only got 4/5 on. Think I got Ant and Dec's b'days confused.

Ant and Dec are interviewed on the Empire website
and chat about their new film which I hope to see soon. I was looking at the Adam & Joe site and noticed that they had previously suggested the boys would be excellent film stars.

I just went for lunch and round the corner at the corn exchange there was a big queue with police and barriers and everything, I thought they were selling gig tickets for some hot new band, and then I realised it was all wee nervous looking girls. It turns out they're Looking for Lyra for the film of his dark materials. They say you should be between 9 and 13 so maybe I should give it a go as I am very youthful looking.
I knew there was something I meant to do last night...
Gala night for Ant and Dec movie "They spent one and a half hours signing autographs and greeting fans outside the Odeon Leicester Square ahead of the gala screening."

Cheeky, lovable geordies Ant and Dec are in a film! Alien autopsy, based on the people that faked an alien autopsy (I remember I was too scared to watch it).Empire magazine says 3/5 stars and that its "Often funny and infectiously silly". The BBC website isn't as keen and gives it 2/5 stars. Its doesn't really matter what they say, its out on April 7th and I'll be seeing it anyway. There's also a strange game on the official website but there aren't enough pictures on it.
