Alastair Campbell made a school boy error today by accidentally leaving his Facebook logged in and open for his daughter to tinker with. Now as a student we do this to each other all the time. To see this happen to someone as professional and as well known as Mr Campbell is much more humorous. Although credit to him, he did act rather swiftly to delete and correct the error however not quick enough to avoid a screen shot. Unlucky Alastair, I suggest logging out or locking your computer next time.

Maybe you should also get your daughter to proof read those frantically quick typed status updates.

‘This months’ is going to be a recurring post. Every month I’m going to share my current favourite, album, book, website and film etc

This months music is a self titled album by the band Civil Twilight. Civil Twilight are a South African rock band. After moving to America they recorded and released their debut self titled album early this year. I first found the band after hearing one of their songs called ‘Letters From the Sky‘ on the TV programme Harper’s Island. They are mostly unknown this side of the Atlantic but you can find their album on iTunes. I like this band because they have a relaxing mellow sound to them that just chills me out completely. They certainly are worth a listen, check out their website and myspace.

This months book, which I’ve yet to finish reading is a 2002 novel by Alice Sebold ‘The Lovely Bones’. Its a dark story about a murdered teenage girl that sees her family struggle from heaven whilst she has to come to terms with her own death. It is a truly unique and interesting story. I heard about this book when news stories announced Peter Jackson was making a film adaptation. I got my cheap and cheerful copy from play.com.

And the film of the month is recently released District 9. Unknown actors, fantastic story line about aliens and humans co-existing, not set in America, not really a happy ending and directed by Peter Jackson… its just brilliant. The film takes on a different approach making us humans look like the bad guys, there is a lot of underlining messages about modern politics you can take from this film but I’ll pass on explaining that wonderful mess.

And finally a nifty photo editing website for you to try http://www.befunky.com So thats it until next month folks… chiao.
