Where the Wild Things Are

*pure excellence

Where is my mind?

I’ve been pretty lazy with this blog. So I’ll give you a quick catch up with what’s happening with me as of late in the form of a list.

 

**I am going to see The Buzzcocks on Saturday night.

 

**My little brother is graduating from high school and I am a little weirded out.

 

**I am madly in love with Jim Halpert.

 

**TEAR work is going excellently. I am currently working on a program that TEAR can use in the partnership between them and my young adults group.

 

**My work is killing me slowly so I have applied for a few jobs.

 

**I have discovered that Willow should have just let Buffy rest in peace.

 

**I am currently working on Christmas presents and I am very excited. I can’t afford to buy presents this year so I am making them.

 

**Marita will be getting home in 21 days!

 

**Dracula, by Bram Stoker is a really excellent book and I think you should all read it.

 

**I got my hair cut short and I really like it. A lot.

 

**I am going to go and see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs with Ana!

 

**I went and saw the The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus the other day and really recommend it. It’s like stepping into a Salvador Dali painting. The costumes are amazing and I didn’t think Lily Cole sucked at acting. Which is surprising seeing as she’s a model.

 

**I am really excited about Christmas and can’t wait to decorate the apartment all lovely. I  will take pictures…as soon as I can figure out how to cover up the ugly, old, and useless security system that is stuck on the wall in a really inconvenient spot.

 

** I have applied for a few courses at Uni next year either Communication Design, or an Arts degree. If I got into Arts, I would probably major in Comparative Literature. I’ve been looking at the class list and it looks AMAZING! 

 

So yeah…that’s it. I will do another 10 things blog tomorrow where I will most likely repeat my sentiments towards Jim Halpert and The American Office. It’s just so funny!!!

Let’s Go!

I saw ‘The Boat That Rocked’ the other day and have not stopped thinking about it from the moment I left the cinema.

It has added itself to the list of my favourite movies along side ‘The Breakfast Club’, ‘BBC Pride & Prejudice’, ‘The Royal Tennenbaums’ and ‘Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back’.

Brilliant music + English accents + fantastic costumes + British humor = a rather fantastic movie.

I was fortunate enough to watch it in an empty cinema so Kyla and I could dance like maniacs in peace and sigh loudly at the same time.

It was one of those movies where you could step into the screen and live there.

I should stop myself before I start gushing about the rebellion of rock music in the 60s. Ha.

I went and saw Arj Barker on Wednesday and while he was rather funny, it did remind me why I love British humor more than American. In all fairness though, he did make a few rather amusing font jokes. I wish ‘Sarcastica’ actually existed. Sigh.

I got a rather brilliant present from a bunch of my friends this year. My own Nintendo 64 with a bunch of games – including Mario Kart (!!!) and Super Mario (and I’m planning to do that without the walk through Jake :P). The controller is a bit dodgy (sorry guys!) and will only allow me to casually walk so I’m going to have to find a new one. But apart from that…HAPPY!

Just a quick note though to say how much I adore the Howling Bells. I wish I had her voice. I also wish I was lucky enough to have a cousin that would give me a free ticket to the V festival so I could see them live! Damn you Marita (not really, lol)!
