Weekend Life for Me!!

Back again for another post. Haven’t really been upto much due to being on lates at work over the weekend, pretty crappy. Been trying to get stuck into some reading, that I will be posting about later on in the week when I get it finished. I was talking about needing to sort out my ipod, well after listening to it on shuffle all songs at work. I have decided that tomorrow I will be sorting it out, as I have a day of work YEEEEY. So if you have any good music shoutouts that you think I should check out them let me know in the comments below, to get me sorted out!

Getting there

I have got myself a new laptop YEEEY!!! it was needed!! I just got myself a cheapish little on called 'Compaq' its not that bad, although at the moment during this me typing this post, my keyboard has decided to be a right pain TOTAL FRUSTRATION!!!! I think its being annoying because I am currently getting it all up-to-date with it all being new so it is downloading a lot of things in the background. So now hopefully I can keep blogging all the time happy times :) Just to randomly comment but while I writing this it is really cold in this room, I should really try and move so I can get warm.

Films

Over the weekend I watched a few films, that have recently been released on DVD. The films I watched were Boxtrolls and Dracula Untold. Total opposites!


Boxtrolls is about a human boy called Eggs who gets taken in by boxtrolls who are rubbish collecting trolls that wear boxes, during the film Eggs tries to save the trolls from evil Archibald Snatcher. I really enjoyed the film it was exactly what it seemed a very good family children's film. It was made by people who worked on Coraline and ParaNorman two really good animated films, boxtrolls lives up to the great animations. All in all really good, 'Good vs Evil' film and puts a smile on your face at the end :)  


Dracula Untold is about a different telling of how Dracula became and also why this happened, based on love and the lengths you go to keep your family safe. This was completely different to what I expected, although not totally sure what I was imaging. However I loved it, a very different and well thought out film, mixing action and fantasy together in a totally unexpected way, in which you would think when hearing the name Dracula. A definite must see.  


Hopefully more film reviews to come. If you enjoyed and or what like to suggest any films to watch let me know in the comments below.


Laters!

I Finished It

In my previous post I was saying that I was reading 'the fault in our stars' well I have finished it!!! It was amazing, totally loved it. It made me laugh, smile and cry and of course made me 'awww' ALOT! I'm so glad that I have read the book before watching the film although I now know what is happening so I will inevitably be like ' no no no ' .. After finishing the book it has made me want to read more, with all the different bits of work that I do I don't really get much time to read or stuff like that so I have really enjoyed it, and have just started reading 'divergent' I know I know behind the times, I have had the books for awhile now and just haven't got round to getting them out and stuck in, if i'm totally honest it is the same with the 'game of thrones'. Which I have definitely decided on reading next.

I went shopping today and oh my good I want all the Easter Eggs their was some amazing ones, I really liked the 1kg egg not to eat just yet but rather to buy 2 and using them as weights, until of course it gets too much and I have to eat them!!! I won't feel bad either as I will of felt like I have earned them hehe.

I'm talking about all these chocolate eggs and one of absolute loves is food and probably many other peoples too. I'm not the best in the kitchen but I really do love food. Recently I've started the fasting diet thing! Not too sure what to make of it yet but it's only been two weeks. One of the things that I have made while being on it is chicken chow mein out of a homemade takeaway recipe book, and it's so simple yet tastes amazing and is all like 440kcals not bad at all! I'm hoping as sad as it may sound I'm hoping that that writing all this randomness of stuff will also help keep me on track of this whole weight loss and fitness track that I intend to keep on and up. I have a few apps on my phone that I have full intentions of using that hasn't happen as of yet. The fitness stuff still hasn't started yet I work too much. I need to fit it around working so waiting until my next new month at work starts which is Sunday so hopefully it will all go well from there.


Hope you enjoyed

How it all starts

So recently my girlfriend has been going Youtube and blogger crazy and really getting into blogging stuff about makeup and all the cool stuff that she loves, SO … I thought I would give some typing a crack too. A few years back I did write some rant about my day and what I was doing around Christmas and stuff like that, and to be honest it didn't sound too bad but never ended up doing anything about it. Anyways that's enough rambling on about why I'm doing this now to get into actually doing it.

I’ve just started reading ‘the fault in our stars’ which I think is pretty cool, it has a nice read to it not really complicated and not a lot going on in it currently but a nice smooth read, sounds like a driving a car not actually reading a book. I have decided to read the book before I watch the film which, could be a good idea but also may not be a good idea. I find sometimes a book is WAYYY better than the film but, then again sometimes it seems like it is easier to watch a film than read the book. I thought this with a book that I read quite awhile ago called ‘the lovely bones’ it was an amazing read however, when finally watching the film I thought it was total utter crap! The film wasn’t long enough to put everything that happened in the detail it happened in 2hrs.

In other random things that I have been doing with my life, I had a weeks holiday in at work and had all these great ideas to tidy up and sort my house out, finally get everything into place after only what 8 months since I moved in. However what I ended up doing was watching ALL of Scandal from season 1 to 4!!! How amazing is this show please!!! I haven’t decided whos team i’m for yet I keep changing my mind from Fitz to Jake, but ultimately when it comes down to it; I think I have to go for team Jake!

A true love of mine is watching boxsets; I am obsessed with them and I will pretty much watch anything! I think the best thing about watching a boxset is that you don’t have to wait for the next episode, you can literally sit and watch one after the other and never get disappointed. Unless, you have the moment when you are watching with someone else and they fall asleep mid episode. Then you play that game of should I watch the next one after, then the end is such a cliffhanger so you totally have to!

One of the other ridiculously un-fun things I did today was go through my emails and sort them out. I do tend to leave it for as long as possible before I dive in and sort them out, usually I don’t bother to sort them out because they are completely boring and uninteresting. Mostly full of offers and ways that I can spend so much money of which I don’t have! However, as I am ranting it took me ages to finally be able to sort through my emails after trying to get two very old laptops to work that I haven’t used in forever! Mainly because on one of them the screen is buggered and on the other one it just has no battery life anymore! Need to invest in new technology. I’m so behind the times, I had to get my girlfriend to tell me how pinterest works the other day and don’t get me started with twitter! I know the simply things like doing a tweet and that is about it. I find that on twitter you have to find something remotely interesting to say, rather unlike facebook where people just let everyone else know when they have eaten slept showered and pooed, or when you just have loads of shares about news things that aren’t true so frustrating.

In other news, its once again that time of your for Valentines day!!! I have absolutely no clue what to do or get for my girlfriend, I joked about getting a chocolate rose from Sainsbury's for a £1 she seemed quite happy about it. But I really couldn't just do that to her she's watched too many of these Snapped:Women who kill programmes to even chance that one I tell you. I'm trying to think of something really cute to do or write or something like that. For our 3rd Anniversary I decide that I would start writing little notes about random things that we had done or things that I'd love about a certain day .. so I think it is going to be hard to top that one or to thing of something along those lines to do again. If only love was simple hehe!

Enough of ranting today, hope you enjoyed reading along anyone who got this far down. Another instalment of ranting about random things in my life to come soon, after doing boring things like sleeping and working.
