Film is the Truth
Went to see Gangs of New York the other day. My what a great film. Scorsese manages to hit the peaks that have eluded him recently. Daniel Day-Lewis is exceptional, Leonardo di Caprio (no swooning please) is passable but overall the film was excellent. The ending could be seen as a cop-out slightly (I don't want to give anything away) but was satisfying enough to make me happy.

Late Late Late
Woo, I didn't realise it had been so long since I last blogged. D'oh. Anyway, I'm back at Uni livin' it large and having a good time. Christmas was... pretty much the same as every year, though it was good to see all the family again. New Year was expensive (I somehow managed to spend all my Christmas money on New Years Eve) and since then I've just been taking things easy and preparing to do some serious work this term.

Shockwaves versus Bryclreem
I got really bored of my hair about 2 years ago and decided to do something about it so I started using gel (Shockwaves). I've been using that regularly now and I'm generally very happy with it. It can sometimes look a bit greasy but usually gel only enhances my hair because of the way I style it. However, one of my friends has been preaching the virtues of Bryclreem to me so I have decided to take the plunge and buy some. The effect on my hair is incredibly similar to Shockwaves. In fact, I'd probably go as far as saying they have the exact same effect. Despite having completely different textures and looks, Shockwaves and Brylcreem are essentially the same. Maybe it's my stupid hair that renders all hair products the same. Especially now I've accidentally dyed it ginger (don't ask). Maybe I should invent hair stuff that makes everyone's hairs look perfect.
