"...if you want to live, count the shadows!"

another day goes by and i am sitting here again writing. ever since i have started doing this blog i always find myself thinking about how little i do with my day, or maybe i mean how i could be doing something so much more important in my day...but i end up doing my silly little things.

today started off alright, the weather was really nice today. not too sunny, but still it was warm in the air. i just did little jobs today like getting in some food shopping and cleaning the kitchen. ah it took me quite a while, but it was kinda fun in a weird way. it is nice to have a good old clean sometimes.

then spent the next couple of hours really looking forward to watching Doctor Who; Silence in the Library. wahoo another Steven Moffat story! he brought us the terrifying weeping angels in Blink and the spooky gas mask-wearers in The Empty Child...and also he is going to be taking over as the shows lead writer in 2010. And it was good this week!! back to the real scariness of Doctor Who, like the old days.

"I never land on a Sunday- Sundays are boring!"- The Doctor
After Doctor Who, i ended up chilling out for a bit, and then went out with my friend. She needed to take photos for her project, so we walked around town in the dark looking for forgotten places and maybe even creepy places...i took some pictures just because we were out and about...of a few places we went...

little toothbrushes....


ah what a new day brings...or doesn't!! it has been an alright day. very chilled out. i have spent most of today watching LOST and having a very big case of my head hurting!! but i feel much better now.

after watching LOST on my laptop it gave in, and shut it's self down! i then knew it was time to stop watching and get up and do something. I went for a quick walk outside to get some fresh air and the new cinema times for the coming week.

ah there are so many people out, because i guess it is still half term....but hoping that it will be lovely and normal in the next few days! yay. as i have been going to the cinema and seeing some AMAZING movies over the past week, Smart People, Indiana4, Charlie Bartlett (favourite one by far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I have some tickets for 2 for 1 at wagamama's and thought it would be really nice to go out for dinner. so we went out and had some lovely food!! on the way back, what was left on our front door?? well these cute little toothbrush sweets!! Ha ha, it made me laugh.....that would be my photo of the day!

play that record again!

ah still the weather is annoying me!! waking up to rain and then sun and then rain again. another day of pottering around town... i went to a show at a gallery today. The show was called 'Cover Versions'. it is an exhibition of recycled record sleeves- revamped and reinvented by Artists working in a variety of mediums. it sounded like a really cool show, but when i went and had a look i kinda felt bad. these really odd record sleeves had been painted, cut up, stuck bits to them...i know its all in the name of art...but it still felt wrong. some of them had been painted beautiful. there were some controversial ones, which included some Beatles and John Lennon covers with 'blood' (or red paint) and Yoko on. It still did not feel right that the artists had done this. It kinda felt like someone had defaced a book or something. But i then thought the records must have belonged to the artists. It was really interesting to see how the artists wanted to change the sleeves with their own views and feelings.

when i got in i started looking at my cds...i wondered if these will get defaced in a few years for the sake of art.

rain rain...

ah another day goes by...not feeling great at the mo...kinda bored. Trying to find bits and pieces to do. i am not really looking forward to going home at the moment...but it would be nice to see some people.



I have been watching the IT Crowd all day today, both series! I got the 2nd series cheap. I have also found the easter eggs on the first dvd which i could never find. This has made me happy as I was getting annoyed at the fact I could not find them.



Ended up having a little walk down to forbidden planet and was very happy to see that they had new bits and pieces in the store!! they had these cool little "Buff Monster", they are little ice cream flavorways mini figures. I got a mint chocolate chip one, which i thought was great as it is my favourite type of ice cream!!



Ah while i was also in forbidden planet i was very happy to see a new set of Ugly Dolls!!! and they were a good price too!!! i got PLUNKO. he is very cute, and a wicked bright orange. he will feel right at home with my other ones; BABO and ICE BAT.

"Viagra! Virgin! Vino! Vagabond! Vagina!"

I ended up going to the cinema today to see Charlie Bartlett. I am so glad that i did, as i think it is going to get taking off of the cinema.
Wealthy teenager Charlie Bartlett is really not fitting in at a new public high school run by Principal Gardner. Charlie's honest charm and likability positions him as the resident "psychiatrist" dishing out advice, and the occasional prescription with his partner and fellow student.
It is a wonderful film, full of charm and fun. A heart warming tale of love and fitting in. It was one of the best movies i have seen since JUNO. Anton Yelchin was amazing!! I can't wait to see him in other things like Star Trek.
