Thankful

Thankful

At about this time 24 hours ago, I was about to go and see the brilliant We Will Rock You. It was really, really good and I would recommend it to every single person that even half likes a Queen song. Tony Vincent was pretty tasty as Galileo as well! I had an interesting tour of London, I saw China Town and Hamley’s, oh and I got taught about an ‘underground bridge’ (don’t ask). Of course, we didn’t get back until two in the morning, and having had a late night the night before as well, I am thankful to be home at last.

Today I have just attempted to tidy up all the mess that I made yesterday. I didn’t get up until late, having not gone to bed until 3am, so it’s been an odd day. The Osbournes is playing in the background. I have to say I’ve avoided it mostly so far, but I can understand how people find it funny.

I can never help myself. I have a gorgeous apple and blackberry crumble sitting in front of me. I know that it’s hot, just out of the oven, but still… I’d sacrifice ending up with a burnt tongue for any kind of crumble, it has to be my favourite dessert! I thought I was having a useless day, I was trying to achieve things but they weren’t going right. I took my friend shopping but didn’t get anything for myself, I tried to tidy up some, but ended up making more mess. At last though, I’ve managed to do something productive and completely alter the layout of Lyrics of the Day. And if I say so myself, I’m quite proud of it.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

I spent my day as I hoped I would, with Mr C. The rest of the day will be involved with just sorting stuff out before tomorrow, when – eeshk, back to work.

Lord of the Rings

Lord of the Rings

It’s just… amazing. I mean, even that word doesn’t do it justice, I’m honestly speechless about it and there are few things that can have that effect on me. Two thoughts – Orlando Bloom, beautiful man! I could never get a crush on him, but my god… he’s beautiful! And secondly, the scenery? I can’t even begin to describe it. I love a film that I can get totally lost in, and this one I did. Twice I realized I’d just been gaping at the screen open-mouthed, and once I realized I was actually biting my nails, something I never do.

It's Friday, it's 7:30, it's...

It's Friday, it's 7:30, it's...

The last day of work! Then two whole fabulously festive weeks off! Yesterday started out as the worst day I’ve ever known but it got so much better. Mr C and I settled down with take-out pizza and watched a rip-off of MTV where there were only a select few videos that were on loop. I mean, let’s be honest, there’s only so many times you can hear ‘Sound of the Underground’ before wanting to rip your own ears off.

Brothers

Because my brother is away at the moment and has limited space available, I get to look after all his videos for him. I have collected from him all the series’ of Friends that are out, and today he brought me six seasons of Buffy. Now this is a real treat, because I only manage to catch the occasional Buffy episode and although I love it, I never seem to know what’s going on.

Britney

I just watched Britney in her film Crossroads. It was a lot better than I thought it would be, which is a sneaky way of not really giving you any opinion on it at all. Britney was also a better actress than I thought she would be. Ha. I didn’t really buy the name Lucy, though. Of course, the main problem with the film is that I don’t get on very well with the emotional scenes. I’m pretty sure my heart turns to stone when there is something that should stir up a normal human reaction.

We went to see the James Bond film yesterday, I really enjoyed it! I know it’s been around for a while, we were going to see it before but somehow never got round to it. It is good though, and Halle Berry, she has perfect skin.

Well, here I am once again, munching on Christmas cheesie biscuit things. I’ve changed my mind about the moans of the Yuletide season though, for tomorrow I am heading out to do my Christmas Shopping. I love to buy gifts for others, imagining what they will say once it’s opened, and how they will run off to show people. When I’m out shopping for others, I rarely imagine what they’ll have got me, in fact, I sometimes tend to forget that they’ll get me something as well. Which makes it a nice surprise on Christmas Day.

Christmas

I cannot decide whether I like Christmas or not. Last night we put the tree up and it looks amazing, it really does. However, my friend decided she wanted to spray the tree with glitter, so the whole of our room is completely covered yet there’s hardly a drop on the tree. Ah, well, we have to get into the spirit, right? No, the real reason I want to have a little moan about Christmas is because of all the amazing food that’s available in the shops. As if I didn’t have a hard enough time with foodstuffs, they come along and tempt me with all these delicious items. What’s a girl to do?
