When I opened Miss Soft Crab this morning and saw the heading Mamma Mia!, I assumed you had seen the film Mamma Mia! and wanted to share your thoughts about how it is one of the all-time top films that should never have been made! Mate, as someone who is older than you, let me give you a piece of advice: don't see Mamma Mia! because Colin Firth, Meryl Streep, singing AND dancing can not redeem that pile of crap film, and unlike you, I actually like crap films.
I can't believe that the poster at your hot desk makes you want to see it! But I can believe 30 Rock would make you want to see it, just like it makes me want to eat Sabor de Soledad.
But mate, I think that what you're experiencing here is associational interest. Because your mind grapes are associating Mamma Mia! with 30 Rock, you think maybe it's worth a look. This is exactly what happened with Jennifer Aniston married Brad Pitt. Who cared about Jennifer Aniston until she married mega-hunk Brad Pitt? No one, that's who. Ok, some people cared, but I didn't care. But when she married Brad Pitt, I started to not mind her. Who would have thought that it would all end with the way it did, with me having no interest in him and yet continuing to kind of not mind her. Obviously that's a bad example. I guess what I am trying to say is that you shouldn't see Mamma Mia!. The best that will happen is that you will kind of not mind it. Why don't you watch some 30 Rock instead!

Mama Mia!
Um...I kind of want to see the movie Mama Mia.
Because:
- I have been sitting at a 'hot desk'* again and there is a postcard of the movie poster stuck up next to it. (I KNOW! Isn't this movie 5 years old or something?) And my computer wasn't working for a long time so I had a lot of time to stare at this postcard. (That is how this crazy thing started.)
- I like Colin Firth quite a lot.
- There is an episode of 30 Rock where Jack Donaghy realises his father isn't his real father but it is actually one of three other dudes and Liz gets really excited about Mama Miaing him. (And since I follow Alec Baldwin on Twitter now I think about 30 Rock even more than I used to - and that was already HEAPS.)
- Greece looks real pretty.
- I hate ABBA a little bit
- Initially the movie of this movie seemed ridiculous and repulsive.
- Ugh, Amanda Seyfried
*Actually it is technically my desk but the person who used to sit there has not fully moved so all her stuff is still there. Maybe I just wanted to use this term which I had never heard before and don't actually think is a thing.

You absolutely do not have to ask me twice to consider more hunks
People are way too dependent on Google. You think Google is going to find your missing finger, guy? Google doesn't have all the answers. It has a lot of answers but not all the answers.
But I digress. Why talk about finger loss when we can talk about hunks? Right? Am I right?
It's true, Ewan is very special. I am not denying that. But the world is full of hunks. Why is everyone (that finds their way here) Googling Ewan?
But also, and I mean no disrespect, how many Google pages are you clicking through to get here? Seriously?! Out of curiosity I once googled Ewan to see how many pages of Google you had to click through to get to Miss Soft Crab and I had to stop searching before I found it. And I clicked through a bunch of Google pages. There is a lot of Ewan content out there. People Googling Ewan have far too much time in their hands if they are finding themselves here. Welcome, by the way!

And mate, you are right! They should be giving some of that time to Marky Mark! Colin! The Hammster!
For your consideration: hunks other than Ewan McGregor
Did you know that the most frequently used search terms that lead people to Miss Soft Crab are "Ewan McGregor" and "Ewan McGregor, Trainspotting"?
Just saying.
It's true.
Day after day it is always the same. Occasionally there are additional terms, like "african violet propagation" and "barry hall's girlfriend", and the other day one of the most popular terms was "my missing finger". My missing finger!? MY missing finger? What are you looking on the internet for, you should be looking on the end of your hand!
But seriously, it is the search for Ewan that most consistently sends people our way, and let me now say to those people: welcome to Miss Soft Crab, you are well and truly amongst friends here.
I do, however, feel it is my duty to tell you that while I fully understand your interest in Ewan, perhaps you might like to take the time to consider some of the other hunks we have on offer.
Consider Colin.
Meander through our musings on Marky Mark.
Delight in Don.
There is a whole world to explore readers, you should look around and see what you like before you tie yourselves down.

Pride and Prejudice: You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you
Mate, you've said it all.
That book is a dead set Friday Favourite. My copy aint as pretty as yours, but it is definitely full of the same awesomeness, obviously because it is the same book, i.e. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
Like everyone who has ever read it, at first I hated Mr Darcy's guts until I realised that he was actually the best guy ever and Mr Wickham is the true knob jockey. Now I love Darcy very much, especially when he is also Colin Firth.
Apparently Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle (the lady who played Lizzie in the 1995 BBC version) were doing it in real life when they were making that series. Hot.
Three cheers for Pride and Prejudice!

Friday Favourites - Pride and Prejudice
The other day I was perusing a book shelf of my folks and found this adorable version of Pride and Prejudice.
I have read this book a bunch of times and in fact even read this very copy of it before. But I saw it on the shelf and thought, isn’t that a lovely edition, I want to read it. Then I thought, come on, you’ve read that book a bunch of times. But a few days later I couldn’t resist and started reading it. I mean, look at it ! About the size of my hand, cloth bound AND an awesome book!
You guys, it is totally a Friday Favourite! I love this book so much. It is so rich. And full of tension and excitement. Even though I knew exactly what was going to happen I still was so swept up in it and felt the bloom of love and all the attendant disappointments. Seriously, I couldn’t stop smiling when Elizabeth and Darcy got together. But it’s not just that, there is so much depth to the world created in it. I really dug on imagining Bingley and Darcy sitting around talking about how in love with the Bennet girls they were. There is so much in it that it creates this really full world that you can think about and imagine.
Of course I can not read it without thinking of this Darcy.
What an excellent Darcy. I love that guy!
I guess what I am trying to say is that I love the shit out of this book. And I am really happy I read it again.
Although it is not as wonderful of the book, just in case people feel like a little Friday distraction, perhaps you would like to watch a clip from the BBC series. This one shows Darcy to advantage. (A gentleman and his dogs).
