The wind that blows, the ship that goes and the lass that loves a sailor

*Blows the dust off this thing*

A couple of weeks ago my Mum basically summed up my summer after graduation by handing me a journal with the words: "Here's something for you, there's a crossword about superheroes on page 70 and one about football on page 80."

Though by now, since the Euros are done (NO I DO NOT WHISH TO TALK ABOUT IT UGH) I would

I don't know if you seen it or not yet (I have been away to more rural parts of the country= zero internet access), but I think he might be Robin yes. Or maybe I should say A robin (his character's name isn't one of the robins in comics but I don't think that means anything) or at least a robin-like character. Though there is this other comics character called Azrael who - how should I put it without spoiling anything, I don't know how familiar you are with the comics - who is kind of important in a Bane storyline, and that might be him aswell. Though I'm hoping for Robin. Robin deserves more screen time that isn't Batman & Robin!

I hope any of that makes sense... I'm seeing it in a couple of hours, I'm excited! :P

I couldn't get through Emma either, which is weird because I like Austen. It might be because I was so busy and stressed out over other things when I read it, but I just couldn't get into it/make myself care about any of the characters. So I watched an BBC adaption instead :P

I still maintain however, that when it comes to British gentleman officers during the Napoleonic wars, the answer is always DUTY, with maybe a bit of HONOUR thrown in.And, despite how much I love them, they are so frustrating because of it :P

Well since you would have watched it by now, I can go ahead and spoil it:

YES - we were both right. He's A Robin. Also, he was just awesome. Yay! Also, Anne Hathaway did a surprisingly great job as A Cat Woman.

I've never read Master and Commander, but I have a feeling it would have been better as a BDSM AU :P. Should I bother? Mind you, I even thought the film version was boring, and it made me quite sea sick.

Yes he was! I like how he, despite not being a robin from the comics still had a lot of robin traits and was like a combination of several robins. And how he was just awesome! :P I was pleasantly surprised by Hathaway too, I raised an eyebrow when she was cast but I think she did a great job. And it's nice that Batman and Catwoman for once got their happy ending ;)

I haven't even seen the film so I don't know how how well they match up, but I'm not sure I would recommend it no. I mean, I liked it once I had gotten used to the language, writing style and late 18th century nautical terms....:P It's so random though. Totally random, all the time...
