I really want to go to a show in the Borderline in London tomorrow. It's La Dispute playing and it's sold out and I can't find a ticket anywhere!

I've looked on eBay and classified sites like http://www.Adizar.co.uk, I've even looked at that viagogo that's how desperate I am. It's supposed to be a fan-to-fan selling sort of set-up, but it's just a way for touts or fake fans to try and make ridiculous amounts of money on their tickets, it's ridiculous. But they don't even have any tickets listed!

It's a pretty small show so if I go down there and hope for the best there might not even be any touts selling tickets, it sucks! Hopefully if I go down early enough I can get a ticket from a fan who might have an extra one, people always pull out and leave their friends with their tickets to sell!

I’m looking forward to watching Monsters later via sky.com/hd. I’ve heard very positive things about it, the film getting good reviews from even the Guardian! Monsters has been compared to District 9, Neill Blomkamp’s apartheid satire which similarly featured aliens in a post-awe spirit. In the film Nasa has received news that there is alien life on the galaxy and sent out a probe which returned to earth bearing alien seeds and spores which begin to grow in the place where the probe crashes, Mexico. The viewer will not be told whether or not the USA planned it to crash elsewhere, on Mexican territory, or whether that was a mistake. What does develop is a hostile attitude from the USA towards Mexico.

A photojournalist named Kaulder has been commissioned to photograph the aliens and their human victims and has been assigned his boss’s daughter Samantha to bring with him. Hating her at first, their relationship begins to change as their time together progresses. The film is a very postmodern sci-fi in that the approach to the monsters is very downbeat; they are not the focus of the film. The focus is the developing love story between the two protagonists as they journey through dangerous alien-ridden Mexico.

In many cultures’ literature and folklore, green has been utilized to represent nature and its attributes such as rebirth, fertility, and life. In Ancient Egypt, green symbolized immortality and resurrection thus the god Osiris was always depicted as being green-skinned. Green has also become a sign of environmentalism and the British Green Party has appropriated the colour accordingly. In the 19th century, green was the colour traditionally worn by hunters, a shade called ‘hunter green’. This colour eventually changed to an ‘olive drab’ shade of green which was used more so than the ‘hunter green’ in the 20th century.

Green also enjoys associations with love and lust. It was used in the medieval era to represent love and the male natural desires. In China, the term for ‘cuckold’ is “to wear a green hat” because in ancient China a sex worker’s husband bore a green headscarf. In Sudanese and Persian poetry, dark-skinned women were called ‘green’ when they were being eroticized. I wonder if gu 10 bulbs come in green?

Buried in Old Seattle Paperworks in the Pike Place Market, Seattle (where Starbucks started dontcha know) is the strange but must be seen - if you're in Seattle any time - Giant Shoe Museum.

It takes up the space of a shop, and opens for you personally if you put in a coin. One gallery displays the 'world's largest giant shoe collection' of around 20 giant shoes from as early as the 1980s- can't think it has many contenders for that title.

A second gallery displays The Colossus, a 5ft long black leather wingtip shoe from the 1920s. But it also has shoes worn by actual real people, as the third gallery features mens shoes worn by Robert Wadlow, who was once the world's tallest man.

So if you're in Seattle any time, get down and see this wacky mini museum of giant shoes, you'll be sorry if you don't! (We think...)

Discount vouchers are great. Simply and honestly they are almost bountiful gifts to mankind. Probably this is one of the few aspects on which both the sexes agree. Buying things is always exciting. It is almost a habit of women and it is an occasional deluxe of men. Though even men are now pretty much the shop hoppers but still women somehow always manage to dominate in this field. Though we like buying things but we always strive to save money. Economists might say that there are some people who pay more for status symbol goods and are always trying to outshine their fellow competitors by buying expensive items. But the number of such people is few. Also, these people may buy particular goods at exhilarating prices and try to save money on other things. The conclusion is that it is human tendency to save money. Well, it is not wrong. After all it is hard earned money.
