Hi guys, how was your week? I had another pretty full on one, what with going to the cinema 3 times, visiting the Yorkshire show and building our kitchen. The weekend’s going to be chilled out, and we have no plans set for next week either… bliss!

• I take it all your *proper* harry potter fans caught a showing on opening day, right? We surely did… and on the big screen to boot! We were turning it into a potter fest with some friends, but alas they didn’t book their tickets and it was sold out. What did you think? I know there’s been a bit of controversy due to the amount of stuff that they didn’t include, but what did you expect? it’d be about a day long if they did it verbatim! I also think it had the best scene that Daniel Radcliffe has ever acted. By FAR!
• The other two films we caught this week were Brüno (which I found so nervously funny) and ‘Let the Right One In’ which I wrote about yesterday. Cinema was like a second home this week, I must say!

• I almost wrote an entirely seperate post about this, but then forgot. This little portable cube, measuring just a few metres square, sleeps 4 people with a full working environment. It includes a shower, kitchenette, bathroom, mp3 surround sound, flat screen TV… and a telescope! Completely with a viewing hatch for the stars whilst you sleep in one of the pull-out beds. Now that we’ve pulled down our asbestos ridden shed in the backgarden….. Anyway, you should check out the website, much more photos and information there. So adorable.
• An interesting post about how cocaine & other drugs used to be freely available, and what products they were used in. From a branding & packaging point of view, it’s quite strange to see cocaine aimed at children!
• Agentlover went to Tokyo, and has been blogging about it. Sea Of Shoes went a week or so ago, too, and also blogged/photographed. I definitely need to go to Tokyo.

• After reading the interview with Matthew Scott on Pikaland this week, I headed straight to his etsy store and picked up one of these prints. This will adorn part of our staircase wall :)

• Your cute for the week, my two kittens in a basket. You can follow their growth and antics on my flickr account, I should make a blog for them, really!

• Ultimate puzzlement, this is like a rubiks cube on acid. Amazing.

• And finally… I thought you might want to see these amazing Asics trainers. Available from Nov. 1st apparently. WANT! Unfortunately, it seems they’re only going to be US based.. as per usual with anything remotely good lookin’.
