Accepted is the story of a student who, after being rejected from every college he applied to, creates a fake college to fool his parents, but things go a little wrong when over a hundred teens turn up, having been ‘accepted’ to the fake college.
I absolutely loved the film. It’s very funny, and I just love the base concept. The characters are realistic and you really feel for them. It’s just an awesome film.
I give it

It seems both that a lot has happened to me this week, but at the same time, nothing has, but all of it has been generally against me.
Monday I was supposed to be giving blood for the first time in just under two years. I don’t know why I stopped, but I really wanted to get back in the habit. Then Monkey gave me his sore throat, so they wouldn’t let me give. I was very, very disappointed.
Tuesday was my appointment with the gastro-whatsit consultant to get the coeliac test done. Eventually she agreed to do it, but she pointed out that I hadn’t lost any weight, in fact I’m up a stone and a half from the last time I was officially weighed. Also, she asked me to have a blood test taken which is kinda annoying, because I’d spend all weekend making sure I had lots of iron in my blood to donate, so it’s going to show I’m not anemic [not that I want to be, but ya know]. But anyway, for the test to work I have to eat gluten stuff for the next four weeks so the test will work and I’m already feeling icky.
Wednesday I did all the chores I’ve been putting off for about two weeks: washed, folded, sorted and put away laundry; I did all the washing up and put it away then cleaned the sink and some of the work surfaces; I tidied the lounge, put away the party table cloth; took out massive amounts of trash and some recycling.
Thursday morning I almost got hit by someone who wasn’t paying attention – I’ll put a separate post up about that later – and felt crappy for the rest of the day.
But despite all that I don’t feel like I’ve really done all that much, mainly because I’ve not done much with my free time. I’ve spend it watching TV shows mainly. My creativity is also pretty shot to hell. I don’t know if that’s an effect of the gluten slowing me down and making me feel bleh, but I haven’t felt like writing much this week. I’ve done a couple of reviews, but that’s about it. Hell, I haven’t even felt like re-arranging the bookshelves [a task that never actually happens, but I always feel compelled to do. If you could see what a higgledy-piggledy mess they are, you'd understand.]
But meh. It’s friday, and there’s a weekend coming up that I don’t think I’m doing anything in. Maybe I’ll get inspired then

1. How far back can you trace your family tree?
I don’t know about ‘tracing’, but I know what some parts of my family where up to around about the turn of the centuary.
2. What is the most interesting (or strange) thing you’ve heard about one of your relatives?
My great-great-great granddad was offered half of sandbanks [the 3rd most expensive place to live now] but turned it down because it was all sand banks at the time and no one had invented dredging or land reclamation.
3. How do you feel about legacy names like John Henry Smith IV or naming children after other relatives?
Meh. It’s okay, I guess, if the legacy doesn’t extend too far, or the relative in question has a decent name.
4. Would you consider yourself and/or your family to be traditional?
My family maybe, but not me. I’ve been trying very hard to get out of that rut.
5. What is one tradition you have passed on to your children and/or plan to pass on to them?
I don’t think I have any traditions, nor does my family.
