'The porpoise song' by The Monkees.

Possibly the best theme song ever to a movie ('Head'), this is a brilliant song.

As mentioned, it's the theme from the only Monkees movie, and it was co-written by Carole King (i love her music, too) and it's a very under-rated song.

How can you not love a song that has the line "Riding on the back's of girrafes for laugh's is alright for a while".

This song is actually a good representation of the movie (which i am STILL looking for on dvd. If they can release Justin Beiber dvd's them why can't they release the Monkees film?. Rant over.) it's a psychadelic (is that spelt right?) pop/rock track, that features lead vocal's from Micky (through the verses) with Davy doing the high notes in the chorous. And it's a brilliant song.

I am working on writing a novel.

I usually write short stories, but i have decided to challenge myself and write a novel.

I have a few idea's. I'm in the middle of writing down my idea's, planning what happen's when in the story. I will see what look's best when i finish writing the 'plan' and go with what look's best.

May even decide to go with two of the idea's, and then if i get stuck with the story, or one doesn't go to plan, i can work on the other.

One idea is about an ex-con, who find's out her old life isn't quite as over as she thinks, when she's confronted by her past.

Another idea is about a detective who find's out that the man who was convicted for killing his wife is actually innocent, and how that affects his 'moving on'.

And another idea is about a woman who goes back home for the funeral of her step-father (who she had an affair with) and learn's  some secrets and confronts her past.

Still work's in progress. But who knows? they could be my best selling novel.

'Here in Pleasantville' by The Wallflowers.

I love The Wallflowers. Jakob Dylan is a fantastic singer/songwriter. I'm a bit of a fangirl.

I love this song. It's about a guy who is reflecting on a past relationship, or maybe a relationship that's falling apart.

It's a beautiful song, though. Worth a listen if you ever get a chance.

In fact, the whole of 'Red letter days' is worth a listen. It's got some fantastic song's on it, including 'Here in pleasantville'. One of my favourite albums in my collection.

Maybes a post for fan's of The Monkees. Or music trivia fan's.

I have read and heard that 'cuddly toy' by The Monkees,  is about a gang bang.

If that is true, then could somebody PLEASE explain to me what i'm missing in the song to explain that.

I really thought that it was about a guy, who is a bit of a player, sleeps with a girl, and then dumps her. I think that i have been hearing something totally different to other people lol.

I am a HUGE X-files fanatic.

I first got into the show when i was at high school. My friend (also called Dawn) and i would go to the school library and pick book's for the other to read. Kinda like a challenge. She was a bit of a bookworm too, as am i.

One day, she gave me a 'X-files' spin-off novel to read, and i was hooked.

I had never read anything like that before. I loved 'Sweet Valley high' and 'the babysitter club', and this book was the total oppisite of this. And i loved it.

I started watching the tv show too, and became hooked on that, too. It really sparked my interest in the paranormal, and my love of sci-fi. It was scary but it was cool and funny.

I even liked Dogett (i can never remember if it's one 'G' or two) and Reyes, they kinda 'freshened' the show. And i am a 'Lone Gunmen' fanatic, too. I LOVED the spin-off show. 'The unusual suspects' is my favourite episode. It has also has 'Munch' from 'L&O:SVU' too.

Word's cannot describe how much i love this show.

I need to watch 'Arrested development'.

After watching a few Jason Bateman movies the past few week's ('The switch', 'the break up', 'Horrible bosses'), i have turned into a bit of a fan, i have realized that, even though i have read about 'Arrested develpoment', i have never actually watched it.

I think the show is some kind of 'ultimate' in his career, or that's the impression i get anyway, and people are always saying how good it is, so i have to check it out.

Also, i may get 'Couple's retreat' on dvd, as well as 'the change up'. I haven't seen either, but the 'change up' has Ryan Reynolds in (i'm a bit of a fan) and 'couple's retreat' may have Russell Brand (who i, personally, can't stand. There's just something about him i find annoying) in it, but i'll put it on mute, or fast forward his scene's. It has Kristen Bell in it (i'm a fan of her's), so another reason to watch. Even if it's bad.

Not liking 'The Expendables' either.

With everyone saying this was a good movie, i decided to watch it.

I found out everyone lied.

It's the most boring film i have ever seen (and i've seen a few of them). It's like 'grumpy old (and middle aged) men'. I get it's 'testostarone' and all that, but if i wanted to watch a group of men just hit each other for two hours, i would have watched boxing, or something.

Seriously, some kind of story would have been nice, but, to me, it seemed the story came second to the guys fighting. It IS possible for action movies to have a story, as well as action.

It's not helped that 75% of the 'actor's' are wooden, and the character's appear dull.

Sorry if i have missed the whole point of the movie, guess it's just not my thing.
