The Gift That Keeps On Giving (For At Least Six Months)

Many thanks again to Spankk (aka Captain Dingbat) and his 'wuverly wife' (aka Tennille) for their generous gift of a six month subscription to Empire magazine ("The World's Best Movie Magazine" - quite a claim! But it certainly is good) to celebrate me leaving my horrid job back in February.

The first issue of my new subscription arrived yesterday, and I spent a good many hours reading and enjoying it last night.




I believe that these captions on the cover:



TOM CRUISE EXPLODES!

"It's better than the other two"

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 3



... refer to Tom's intention to create wedded bliss with Katie Holmes (after his failed attempts with Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman).

* drum fill *

But seriously, I love the magazine and look forward to the other five issues that will be coming my way in future months. I may get so used to it that I'll choose to extend the subscription myself, come September.

PS - Happy birthday to John B, whose birthday (and I'm going from memory of almost ten years ago, here) is either today, or sometime this week. Unlike The Captain and Tennille, I'm not generous enough to have bought you anything.
