Chanel for Men
Last summer my favorite scent was Modern by Banana Republic, now this year I'm absolutely obsessed with Chanel's Homme Sport. I've loved this fragrance for about a good year now and just received a bottle as a present (I had like a million samples). I don't know how to really describe the scent but it's one that is unmistakable. I suggest you go to your nearest Sephora and if they still have samples stock up, you're more likely to get samples at Macy's though.

LIMBO on XBox 360
Yesterday my brother and I were playing this game on 360 and if you know me then you know I love adventure games. I'm not all into gory or over glorified violent games, however this one is somewhat different and stylised. It's a very dark game and if you've played it you know what I mean. The whole game is a silhouette in the film noir style and the character is a little boy who is trying to find his sister while avoiding certain peril; for instance a giant spider and several menacing kids, as well as bear traps and other dangers. I recommend this one, it's fun. It is however rated teen so not for little kids.

Inspiration
After seeing the artwork of artist David Kawena, I was inspired to start working on sketches again, so I've began the first step. I opened an account on deviantART and I'll have to scan an upload my work. Watch this space for things to come.

Wright to helm 'Mermaid' for Working Title of Hans Christian Anderson re-telling of classic tale
Variety reports that my favorite fairy tale is getting the live-action treatment and it's set to follow closer to the original Hans Christian Anderson story. Below is the story from Variety
Wright to helm 'Mermaid' for Working Title
Abi Morgan adapts live-action version of fairytale
By LEO BARRACLOUGH
LONDON -- Working Title is developing a live-action pic of Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale "The Little Mermaid," with Joe Wright attached to helm.
The story, which has been adapted by Abi Morgan ("Brick Lane," "The Iron Lady"), was inspired by a production that The Little Angel Theater Company staged as part of their repertoire of children's tales using puppets.
The story, which centers on a young mermaid who gives up her life in the sea to gain the love of a prince, was first published in 1837 and has been adapted for the stage and screen numerous times.
This will be the first live-action feature film version to be made in the English language.
Wright previously worked with Working Title on his first three films, "Pride and Prejudice," "Atonement" and "The Soloist."
His most recent film, "Hanna," starring Saoirse Ronan, Cate Blanchett and Eric Bana, is in post-production.

Quiche Lorraine Recipe
So I've got some eggs that expire tomorrow and I'm thinking of making several quiches, Quiche Lorraine is a good one since it has bacon in it, but I also have some spinach so might just make a couple of quiches. Below is a recipe for Quiche Lorraine and a web page devoted to quiche were there is no doubt several more quiche recipes.
Quiche.net
The most classic of quiche recipes is Quiche Lorraine. The salty smokiness of the bacon is the absolute perfect complement to the creamy tang of the of the Swiss cheese. This is a perfect combination. Any of the quiche crust recipes can be used for this dish, although we prefer the classic crust.
* 1 pre-made pie pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
* 12 slices bacon
* 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
* 1/3 cup chopped green onion
* 4 eggs, beaten
* 2 cups light cream
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Place bacon in a large skillet, and fry over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, then chop coarsely. Sprinkle bacon, cheese and onion into pastry shell.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, and cayenne pepper. Pour mixture into pastry shell.
4. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F, and bake an additional 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from edge comes out clean. Allow quiche to sit 10 minutes before cutting into wedges.
