Back again,, blah blah blah. Didn't want all my posts just to be movie reviews so this should split it up a bit lol. Last weekend, I went to see my friend in Wales and I proceeded to loose my phone on the coach and then find it, and then loose my camera on the train - has not been recovered </3. It was a wild weekend honestly, and although seeing my friend was great nearly loosing my phone caused…
Oh no... I wasn't supposed to not update my blog for a month but I guess it just happened. Will not hopefully do that next month. So. What did I watch this month? Sunday 1st February Black Narcissus (Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger) Welcome to films from the 1940s. Racism? Yes. Crazy face-cards? Yes. Sets so beautiful they make you tear up? Yes. On first glance Black Narcissus is a classic nun…
Didn't watch my first film this year until Sunday LOL but I guess we all gotta start somewhere. Since then I've watched a few more so I thought there's no time like the present to do a lil' film round-up for this month. I know I'll forget but I'm gonna try and do these monthly this year ^_^ Sunday 25th January Conclave ( Edward Berger) Been wanting to watch this for a while now after everyone was…
Beginning the new year by feeding my stationery and art supply addiction.. huh. Judgements aside, yesterday I went on a day trip to the city of Bristol to meet up with my friend (Paulie Bleaker, those who know, know.). I live a couple hours away so I had to get a bus then a train and then finally a coach which was actually very stress-free :). Our first stop was this crazy 3 floor stationery, art…
2025 is over... yay! or not yay? I don't know really, I kind of didn't enjoy the year as a whole so I think I'm okay with moving on. This year I did watch lots and lots more films, finally began making some art I liked again and went to some awesome shows - not all bad then! January January began with a weird ghostly dream I had whilst staying in my friends spare room... So I guess the year was…
I must confess something. I have never actually seen a Peanuts, Charlie Brown or Snoopy related thing in my life. Why? I have no idea but now is a great time to start. A Charlie Brown Christmas is by far the shortest on my list of films at a mere 25 mins (compared to The Holidays 138 mins, yawn). I actually watched the whole film whilst I ate lunch lol. The films plot is simple yet entirely…
Day 3 (?) it's A Christmas Story Time! Apparently this film is quite the American classic Christmas movie but I hadn't heard of it before and neither had my mum - so I guess it hasn't made it to overseas audiences just yet. A Christmas Story was released in 1983 so you could call it a bit of a lower scale prelude to Home Alone, which would come out 7 years later. A Christmas Story is narrated by…
Okay, so it's not exactly day 2, but also I accidentally gave myself a few extra days before Christmas so I get some more days to finish the challenge lol. I also have made some fancy icons for each day, so scroll down to check out the icon I made for The Holiday! Day 2 is the 1996 film: The Preacher's Wife. Although this film has romantic moments it's more of a moralistic Christmas film, not to…
So, I guess it's December 8th already... 12 days till' Christmas?! Okay I had one day to think about this and realise that the 8th of December IS NOT 12 days till Christmas LOLLL I cannot count. I will be doing this anyway though and just finishing on the 20th lmao :0 Inspired by Finny's 31 Days of Teen Screams this year I'm doing a 12 days of film-mas, where I'll be watching 12 films (Christmassy…
Oh, November is OVER? WHAT. Today I thought a lady at work said "Happy thanksgiving" to me and I was like wat o_O and then I turned around and she was on the phone lol. I'm getting that pre-december present shopping fear at the moment and I just need to chill owt and appreciate November as it's own thing. This week has been busy for me but I've had a lot of fun working on a little (secret) project…
This week has been a bit well mental. The temperature has gone crazy low so my winter coat has come out from its hiding place. The boiler at work is broken and so I've spent most of the day rubbing my hands together and trying not to drop things lol. Work has really not been great lately as we are massively short staffed so I spend many of my shifts running around trying to do multiple peoples…
As of late I keep coming up with posts I want to make for my music blog and then realising I made it on neocities and is therefore an absolute pain to get it to work the way I want. Also the layout is a bit weird. So I have decided to make a music blog on Blogger! Compared to this blog which I couldn't be bothered to make a layout for I want to make a cool 2000s style blog layout for my new blog.…
So this is it. October is over! November is such a meh month actually no wonder Americans care so much about thanksgiving - I mean what else is there? Okay, before I get to into this month I gotta go back in time... to halloween! I don't even remember what I did last halloween it was so boring, so I knew I had to make this year a better one. My bestie lives in Wales which is about 3 hours away but…
Today is a Wednesday. So not a Tuesday, and therefore should not be my blog day but I'm doing things a bit differently this week as I won't be able to blog on Friday. So this is technically my last actual October post :0. It's a little sad really because I've enjoyed this challenge so much, but going forward I'm going to blog more anyways :) This week I got the good news that my request to make a…
Here's to being post seven into the October Challenge, only two left! (sob.) I cannot believe this month has gone so quick - I mean halloween is next week and if I hadn't realised it would have passed me by. This challenge has been really great at helping me to reflect on the days this month, and I've found myself looking forward to my bi-weekly posts :) The weather this week has been a bit…
Last week was crazy looking back, I don't think I really had anytime to just exist until Sunday and then I could relaxxx... It went by very quickly which I guess is okay, but I don't really enjoy living just to see the other side of stuff - it feels depressing. Saturday was regular, but I did get some delicious pesto for dinner - I think it has miso paste in it which is a weird combo but it works…
Not much to report since Wednesday, but I thought I'd get back into the habit of blogging on the right days! On the last post I mentioned that I'd ordered CDs of Mae's Destination: Beautiful and The Everglow and guess what, the seller was so sweet and posted them that day - so they arrived today!! They got delivered this morning and so I had all day at work to look forward to collecting them~~…
Picture this: I'm walking to the supermarket at midday on Sunday. Nobody is about. Crossing the road I notice something on the otherside. A picture on the floor. I go over to investigate. I never would of guessed whose face I would see when I looked down... Bill Kaulitz.. from 2000s German band Tokio Hotel?! LOL. I have so many questions like why is he ripped up? What did he do to deserve that??…
I wanted to make a tutorial (sort of? not really) of how I put together my webpage layouts. Currently, I'm putting together a single page layout for my fictional record company - Avocado Records. The main things I wanted to include were spaces for a sampler tracklist, a media player and some fake advertisements... Lets go! (๑•̀ ᴗ•́)૭✧ 1. What do I want the layout to look like? Basically all my web…
Sorry it's a day late! But it's for a valid reason lol. Yesterday I went to an Ethel Cain concert with my friend - who has just moved to Ireland so it's been a while since I last saw her! The concert was really great but in all honesty... I got a bit drunk and therefore cannot remember that much of it.. oops. My friend kept buying me drinks which was so sweet of her but I don't drink much at all…
New scarf :p It's Tuesday... blog day! This week I have the week off work, so today's blog is particularly fun and image-packed :0 Saturday was boring.. so I'll skip it and go straight to Sunday! Sunday was the harvest service at church so everyone had to bring food for the foodbank. Harvest isn't a religious holiday as such but is almost like a 'Thanksgiving-y' type affair. I looked it up on…
First offical day of my blogging challenge, and I actually remembered to post! Yay! I can report that since the start of this month I have not watched any YouTube yet, however, I have listened to music on YouTube Music - which I have decided is okay. Instead of watching YouTube I have... watched a couple episodes of The Office, read a couple chapters of my current book, began to fix my website and…
This October I want to get back into blogging, so I'm going to set myself a challenge of blogging twice a week - so ten blogs in the month! I'm thinking maybe Tuesdays and Fridays - but that could change lol. I have a few goals I want to set myself this month so I'm going to document myself (hopefully) archiving them. - Stop using YouTube! I hate that I have been addicted to YouTube Shorts…
Back to this blog again I guess! I like blogger so I shouldn't leave it this long haha!! On Tuesday I had a pretty full day of doing fun stuff so I thought I'd blog about it ^.^ I had read a few months ago two of my favourite artists - Yoshitomo Nara and Jenny Saville, were exhibiting in London galleries so because I don't go into London very often I decided to see both in one day! I got the train…
day 6! Today we went to the town? city? of Modena, famous for balsamic vinegar and being beautiful. the weather was incredible i think the best weather of the whole trip and what a perfect place to enjoy it! the day started with a surprisingly leisurely walk to the station - i guess at this point we learnt our lesson about running lol. the train journey was very short, italian high speed railway…
