So I found out this week that Safeway buy 300 boxes of Rice Krispies for $16! What a markup! I wish I could buy that much cereal for that amount of money--although I think a good majority of it would go off buy the time I got round to eating it. I don't think there's going to be much of an underlying theme to this entry and it will more than likely end up as a random collection of things I've either been told or have thought about at some time during the past week.

So, I finished reading Watchmen and also went to see Zach Synder's slow-motion filled cinematic adaptation which really does have a lot of slow-motion. I also, on top of the ever-increasing pile of homework I have, managed to read in the past couple of weeks both Daniel Clowes Ghost World and Charles Burns' Black Hole both of which are fantastic and if you are in anyway into the medium of the graphic novel, have to read.

I got the chance in my documentary class to see for ashamedly the first time, This is Spinal Tap. I don't think I've ever laughed that much in a classroom before but it was educational laughter so it's okay. I went to a Wellness Fair today (whatever wellness actually means) and got a good selection of freebies. Everything from the local fire brigade's self-promotional sticker to a highlighter that has a de-highlighter on the other end--as you never know when you might accidentally highlight the wrong thing. Huh?

I think I've also decided that Prison Break season 3 is no where near as good as its predecessors and that recognising this perhaps says a lot about the fact that I'm only 2 episodes into the 12 episode season over 3 weeks of viewing.

So for anyone who is reading. Sometime this week I urge you to either read: Ghost World or Black Hole, watch Prison Break season(s) 1 and / or 2 and listen to anything by Rogue Wave.
