Shopping and more movies.

teylaminhSo, today I went into Brum to find birthday presents for my mum. After extensive wandering (well, extensive considering how hot it was and my tendency to avoid the Bull Ring as long as is humanly possible...) I came back with:
~ a vaguely art deco-ish locket thing from Argos
~ a dragon statuette from Evolution with pretty blue glass wings
~ a Chinese good luck charm from the random Chinese shop that's sprung up in the Pavillions
~ some over-the-knee socks, some of which are for me...
Also had a look in Shelley's and failed to get anything in my size. I'm clearly slipping.
Anyway, tonight Sky finally showed The Ring, so I watched it. Have to say I much preferred the original Japanese one; far more spooky and intense. Nevertheless, it still put my nerves on edge, was fairly attactively shot, and seemed to pretty much follow the plot of the original. The 'ring' metaphor was cleverer in the original, too...
Oh, and before I forget, here's three efforts of the Greta Garbo icon. I think I like the last one best...
