Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom

hello everybody. Its been a very very long time. We've both been absolutely snowed under with the ridiculous reading demands of our course and also writing dissertations (gasp) but they are now done *one woman mexican wave*
SO now i have some free time. which feels weird. Expect some sport and movie updates soon.
As I said life's been work-centric of late but i have managed to watch a lot of Glee (the best show on TV seriously) it makes me want to cry with joy, i spent the entirety of last night's episode cheering. I've also been enjoying the new season of dancing with the stars. I love Derek as always but Markie really came back back into my affections this season before being cruelly injured very early, although he has made appearances playing flamenco guitar (wow, just wow) and choreographing. I'm Also enjoy Maksim Chmerkovskiy and partner (erin?) he has been very very good (i'm sure she has too) and my early favourite is Evan Lysacek THE cutest, dorkiest figure skater ever. He's adorable and if i could vote for him i would. ALso True Blood has been outstanding. I won't spoil anything but one of the scenes between Godric and Eric was one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen on TV (clue it took place on a roof)
And i've been listening to the radio a lot lately. I like Professor Green's song, because INXS will always rule. And that dance song with accordion in it (because as my mum says i'm a sucker for a bit of accordion.) I bought a semisonic album lately and i'd forgotten how awesome they are, i urge you all to look up secret smile, it is impossible to not feel moved while listening to that song. SO there it all is.
Love to everyone. Ciao

Updates

Hello everyone. its been a while. I've been super busy with boring uni nonsense of late. I'm currently in the middle of reading the Moonstone and Northanger Abbey and I'm about to move on to Middlemarch. I'm also thoroughly absorbed in the business end of the footie season, Arsenal play Chelsea on Sunday and I'm looking forward to it (i think.) I've been watching far too much TV of late and I'm particularly enjoying Nurse Jackie on BBC 2; a brilliant dark comedy/drama set in a New York hospital, catch it if you can its quality. I'm also still loving Got to Dance and I'm developing a (slight) crush on Ashley Banjo who is an absolute giant but also very very sweet. Its a great show very entertaining. Also I saw Cheryl Cole's new video yesterday and I was absolutely blown away its totally fabulous and she does the most amazing ballroom routine with the one and only Derek Hough (of dancing with the Stars fame.) I have a seriously ridiculous obsession with that man and I very nearly hyperventilated while watching the video. So that's my life of late. More to come soon.

Welcome to 2010!

Well well, here we are. I'd like to welcome you all to not just a new year but a new decade. How very exciting. I celebrated New Year in a low-key way with dinner at drinks at a family friend's house and of course Jools Holland's Hootenanny. We had a good laugh and I'm very much looking forward to all the new year has to offer. So everyone raise a glass and say cheers to a fabulous, shiny new decade.
Well in other news I've been writing furiously both my novel and an essay for uni so today I took a well earned sports break and watched my lovely Arsenal boys complete a 2-1 FA Cup win. I'm also in full on dance mode having watched So You Think You Can Dance last night and now i'm in the middle of Got to Dance (totally loving Adam Garcia and Ashley Banjo.)
So back to the essay now and look out for a possible review of the year/decade and look ahead later!
love to everyone. Spazibo.
