Here we have the different ways Elle and Conor see
The journey that led her to want to flee
From their life together,
With its grief too much to weather.

So these house-sharing vampire mates
Can lure others into similar fates.

Enlightening look at one of physics' coveted gigs:
The long search for the particle Higgs.

To research, experiment and learn,

A fab doco about this fascinating man, Shep:

Where music or sport can equal damnation.

Behind the creation of fashion.
They present stunning couture, and everyone beams.

With the need to attach
A dowry (so the plans won't unhook).

FEMEN protest women being wrongly fenced
Within the patriarchal ideals so freely dispensed.
Their fans are loyal.

Great critic, and a man who'd rightly impress
With his film knowledge, opinions and finesse.
