Dear Fabio Capello, I believe my curse upon your head re: the Juventus fiasco has finally come to pass.
Admittedly, the blasted FA have now done the only thing that will ever make me hope the England team do well, which is to appoint Stuart Pearce as interim manager.

Having now seen most of 'The Departed', I think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
angstbunny is right. Which I know doesn't need saying but 'The Departed' seems to miss everything I liked about 'Infernal Affairs' and add a lot of shouting in it's place.

That the 2011 Mercedes is faster than the 2012 spec cars, even with the 2012 cars being new and bug ridden, is disturbing. I do wish Mercedes would get on with it and show me their 2012 car, because I'm seriously starting to worry.
I should probably apologise to the tumblr peeps, because there's going to be another batch of car porn when Mercedes and Marussia release their 2012 cars and at Barcelona testing next week.

Fic Stuff:
Would anyone be kind enough to proof-read an X-Men: First Class Emma Frost-centric gen fic? Mostly because I fear I am not doing Frostie justice.
I have discovered that while I can write to prompts if I get given a month, writing to a prompt for something like the PornBattle is beyond me. There's one prompt that really has helped me focus in on what I want to say about two characters (or one character and his life and the man he loves) but, as the parenthetical comment may well suggest, porny, or even sex containing, it is not.

Book Meme - Day 29 - A book everyone hated but you liked
In a week of thinking about it, I've not been able to come up with a better answer than this:
This question is tricky, because it's ' A book everyone hated but you liked' and my friends, both online and offline, have a wide taste in books, and two obvious answers for books everyone hated, 1) Dan Brown and 2) Twilight, won't do because
1) you can't stand the one Dan Brown book you tried to read either
and
2) you haven't read the Twilight books because vampire romance isn't your thing so it's unfair to use them.
