Okay. I'll admit it. I have been well and truly hooked in by Twitter. But none more so than yesterday. Yesterday, when Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost wrote Hot Fuzz slash with each other through the medium of Twitter.

I didn't think I would ever stop laughing. Ever. I had a bit of a crappy day work-wise yesterday and this totally made up for it.

( It started with a little comment from Edgar, asking about X Factor slash... )

I've been desperately excited about Star Trek for some weeks now, but mostly keeping it to a dull roar. Not just because one of my heroes is in it; or because of the immense slashy potential that's clear from the trailers between Chris Pine's Kirk and Zachary Quinto's Spock; or even because I'm finally coming to terms with and embracing my inner geek. As much as anything, it's because it promises to be a rollicking good action adventure. In SPACE!

Then, just to ramp up my anticipation, Simon Pegg recently offered a guest slot on his blog to an old friend, and I just read it and laughed and cried a little all at the same time:

"This film is fucking brilliant!!! Sorry it took me a while to post this but I wet myself and was sick down my t-shirt because I was so excited and in love with this fucking movie which is brilliant. Did I say it was brilliant? I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders and my faith in Science Fiction cinema has been restored. In your face Jar Jar you idiotic nonsense fucksmack. Live long and prosper all the fucking way I say!!! Oh god I can't stop crying! I have to call Mike!"

Tim Bisley (North London Science Fiction Review)

I can just hear it. It makes my heart glad in ways I can't adequately explain that Tim is still out there somewhere, that he loves the Trek movie, and that whenever something good happens Mike is the first to know *glee*

candesgirl, because she likes to see me suffer, gave me a tough three and an absolutely impossible three to choose between. Mummy, it hurts!

Aimed at those non-British folks amongst my f-listers, and particularly those who are somewhere near as obsessed as I am with Simon Pegg.

Simon, as I'm sure you are aware, recently starred in the movie adaptation of Toby Young's book "How To Lose Friends and Alienate People". True to his usual form with the movies over which he has any control of content, Simon collaborated with the director Bob Weide and together they pulled out all the stops to make sure that when it was released on DVD that fans would have lots of extras to make it worth their hard-earned bucks. However whilst the British [Region 2] DVD has all the extras that Simon and Bob worked so hard to put together, the American distributors decided not to include them whilst still charging the same price. Simon and Bob have expressed their disappointment to Heather at peggster.net who has posted it on their MySpace page for all to see.

Simon and Bob are asking Region 1 fans not to buy the DVD, and to instead either get it from amazon.co.uk, or if they don't have a multi-region DVD player, just to hire it and watch it if they want to see it again.

Here endeth the lesson. Normal service will be resumed shortly.

I'm almost certain that this will please no-one but me, but the lovely

licklepickle sent me this and I'm posting it here so I can just come and drool at regular intervals:

Post pictures of 20 guys you lust after because there can never be too many pictures of hot guys.

Well, the meme says 20, but because I'm stingy with the lust, and because the standard measure of a list in the Goblin household is ten "passes", you get 10 guys and one girl...

( Ten guys and a girl )
