• The written word is a subtle, endlessly nuanced way to communicate – but photographs can bypass the brain and deliver their message straight to the gut. The Press Photographer’s Year competition celebrates the most memorable still images used in the UK media each year, in categories including news, portraits, sports, arts and entertainment. A touring exhibition of the winning and shortlisted entries from 2008 goes on display at the National Theatre on Saturday. The overall winner is Daniel Berehulak, for a haunting shot of the late Benazir Bhutto taken during a prayer session held for fellow Pakistanis who were killed in a suicide attack on her homecoming parade.

• Props, costumes and monsters from the BBC series go on display at Earls Court from Thursday, alongside information on how the programme is made. With no sofa to hide behind, fans will have to steel themselves for sightings of the Daleks and other characters including Cybermen, the Slitheen, K9 and the huge Empress of Racnoss. Further exhibits from the new series will be added as the touring exhibition , which will be in London until the autumn, continues.

I'm off to London

After several weeks of hymming and hawing, I have decided on a trip to London (UK). I've never been before and I can't wait! I have been busy planning everything (or close to it) I want to see. Cashed in some a/p miles and hopefully (g-d willing) all will be fine. I am very much afraid that I will be stuck at the airport and...well, I shouldn't think that way. Anyhow, it is going to be brilliant! It's only 6 days, but that is plenty of time! It will give me a chance to find some small little hole in the wall to stay in next time. It is going to be weird not heading to Paris or Berlin this time around. I may head to Paris for xmas - or Berlin... who knows - maybe south for some sun.

summer time

I have completed my assignments finally, well, early and I don't give a toss if they barely pass - its finished. i am planning vacation on august 5 - for just under 2 weeks, and I was hoping to go to Paris and Berlin - I need to email Anne in Paris for accomo's and then Andreas - if either are not available, I won't be going...

I just signed up with Google Lively - its froze my computer twice... but then again I think its my sound card that's screwing up. Itunes did the same thing and something on myspace as well.

I miss my online friends. I haven't been on facebook in almost a week... wow, and the planet didn't fall out of alignment!
