Draw Something

Draw Something is the latest app from OMGPOP. It's a game played on iPhone, Adnroid smartphones and other tablets. I'm fortunate I have a big screen on my iPad 2 because if you don't have a stylus drawing can be quite difficult if you want to be more creative than drawin just stick figures.

Basically you have to guess what your friend has drawn by watching a video of his drawing in progress. You get 10 scrambled letters and have to try to figure out what the drawing is. If you get it right then you earn gold coins. With these coins you can buy more colours.

Some people have done amazing drawings. But I suppose they're pros and are using a stylus.

Here are a few of my drawings. You can see more amazing drawings from Draw Something here.

TVD - The Vampire Craze


Recently I met this little girl (@Riona_Singh)and she insisted I watch a TV series that is quite popular at the moment. The Vampire Diaries.

Now with the sudden popularity of vampires in modern culture I was totally put off by this especially since I'm not a fan of those sparkly vampires. Give me an Anne Rice novel or movie any day!




When I started watching the first season I was pleasantly surprised with the darkness and almost believable story line. The vampires of Mystic Falls made sense!

One thing I noticed about the series is that it has it's own look and feel. If you're flipping through channels and come across it on your screen you immediately know you're watching TVD.







Personally I think it has a brown look to it. Everything is brown. Even all three of the lead characters are brown haired!

Damon and Stefan Salvatore are played by Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley respectively. Damon is the bad boy vampire and Stefan is trying to prove that vampires can be good. But apparently both are supposed to be the good guys.





Elana Gilbert/Katherine Pierce is played by Nina Dobrev. The character of Elana is a doppelganger of Katherine the vampire the brothers were in love with about a 150 years ago. Surprisingly she's more of a heroine than a damsel in distress.

TVD is a good series to follow. The story isn't far fetched and the character development is brilliant. All in all this tv series doesn't suck as much as some movies currently on about vampires.

Who is your favourite TVD character? Would you want to be turned? Is drinking blood better than eating your favourite pizza?
