I am on a training course this week. "New features in Oracle 10g". The course itself so far seems to be completely useless but there will be some certificates at the end so I guess this will do good for one's CV.
I am sekritly reading news. :D Some interesting things:
1) What the Sweeney Todd trailer failed to tell us about the film
There seems to be some misdirection in the "Sweeney Todd" trailer. Apparently it doesn't make it clear that the film consists entirely of singing:
"Stung at paying to see a collection of tortuously constructed Stephen Sondheim tunes when they were expecting a gory Gothic thriller, a fair proportion of cinema audiences has been walking out of Sweeney Todd. A complaint has even been made to the Advertising Standards Authority."
Well, I agree entirely with the "tortuously constructed Stephen Sondheim tunes" bit. And the question remains - should cinema trailers reflect film's content accurately? Even to the film's disadvantage, for example, in the case of foreign films and musicals?
2) BBC: High heels 'may improve sex life'
Hurray! As a high-heel lover I have heard it all over the years: high heels damage your posture and are bad for your body, etc., etc. It is nice to know that there is some hope. I LOVE HIGH HEELS.
3) And last but most important - HAPPY PANCAKE DAY TO ALL!
EEEEEE! A special day to celebrate my favourite kind of food!! PANCAKES! And as many other days it can be celebrated twice because the pancake day in Russia usually falls 2 weeks behind the pancake day in the UK.
Happy day to everyone! Enjoy pancakes with your favourite filling ! What is your favourite pancake filling?
