Week in Review #4

Hei hei guys, 

Once again this week I've just been working and studying. It hasn't been too bad, it's just been really long. Here's what has been getting me through this week:

(Loved) Reading: This week I read this piece by Iona McLaren for the Telegraph which basically sums up all my feelings about Skins in one article. I watched Skins from the moment it came out in the UK because there was a new girl at my school who was from London and she told to watch it. The rest, as they say, is history. I became addicted, I loved all the characters, watched it religiously and I now consider it one of the vital parts of my teenage years. That all changed with Season Five. That wasn't Skins, not the Skins I had known and loved. Hearing that there was to be a Season Seven, the final season, I was curious but also doubtful. This article restored my hope and I downloaded it tonight. Look out for my review later in the week. 

(Loved) Television: So although I only started this on Friday but I have been loving it for the past three days and that is Orphan Black. It is absolutely amazing. I know I wrote about it for my last post so I won't rave on about it too much, but seriously, it's amazing. A must see. 
(I wasn't going to mention Teen Wolf but I can't help it! It's just so addictive, so I've been watching an episode a night as the last thing I watch before I go to bed.)

(Loved) Film: As a treat to myself for working so much this week I've been buying myself DVD's. I have literally bought eight DVD's this week alone and so I've just been watching some of those. The one I totally loved was Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Of course, I've seen it before but it was nice to have a re-watch, especially because I'm getting more and more excited for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug everyday.

(Loved) Random: I was trying to think about something random that I've been loving this week and all I could think of was this song which I have just been playing literally on repeat all week. It's called Resolution by Matt Corby. He's an Australian guy who actually came really close a few years back to winning Australian Idol. The work he is producing now is absolutely beautiful but I just feel like Resolution is that one step further. I cannot stop listening to it, he just has the most amazing voice.  

Let me know if there is something else I should be reading or watching and as usual let me know what you guys have been loving this week, I would absolutely love some suggestions!

Week in Review #3

Hei hei!

This week has been my first week back at university, but it's actually been a pretty nice one and I'm still really in holiday mode because there isn't much uni work to do yet! The next three weeks are going to be so hectic though because I've offered to just take heaps more shifts at work (trying to think of the DVD's I can buy with the extra money!) and I know uni work is just going to pile up like crazy. Anyway, because it's Sunday night, I've written a post to finish off the week about all about the things I've been loving for the past seven days:

(Loved) Reading: I've been reading a few more things online lately rather than reading Mortal Instruments and that's because I got a new Macbook Air! I can't stop using it - I've been going to bed so late since I bought it because all I've wanted to do is use it. First off I love this article, which is all about the character Margaery Tyrell (from Game of Thrones) costuming in the series. I feel like it sums up every one of her costumes perfectly and it was such an enlightening read. Secondly I found this website which I have just been trawling through for hours on end. There is just so much information, statistics and graphs about Lord of the Rings I cannot believe it! 

(Loved) Films: I finally saw Man of Steel on Monday. I hadn't been able to see it due to the fact that I'd been traveling when it was released and I finally found the time to go earlier this week. I'm currently writing a full post about it, which should be up sometime in the coming week. Basically I loved it, and I knew I was going to love it. That's a pretty lame review, but seriously, there isn't much more to say than that. Go and see it if you haven't yet!

(Loved) Television: This week the only television I have been watching is Teen Wolf. I've just finished the first season and tonight I went straight on to the second one. My best friend is all up to date so I want to catch up as soon as possible so we can talk about it - I feel like there are going to be a lot of late nights this week! Also, last night I started re-watching Season One of Misfits, which had me laughing out loud in the first ten seconds. It's still just as funny as I remember it and it's so good seeing Nathan (Robert Sheehan) in it. I feel like the show started going downhill the minute he left (although I did like his replacement, Rudy, and I do think Season Three is one of my favourites). 

(Loved) Random: I am loving my new Macbook Air this week. I bought it on Wednesday and it is all I've been on since. I have actually wanted to do uni work this week just as an excuse to use my computer (I'm pretty sure that won't last very long!). Also, I'm up to level 41 on Candy Crush which was my Random love from a couple of weeks ago. I feel like it's getting harder and harder, but I'm kind of determined to get to at least Level 100. 

Let me know in the comments what you've been loving this week!

Week in Review #2

Hei hei lovely readers, 

I hope you guys have had a fantastic week! I've been visiting friends in Melbourne and it's been such an amazing week. I ate so much delicious food, caught up on some reading and dvds and did plenty of shopping (the photos are from the shopping I did). Here are just a few of the things I have been loving this week:

(Loved) Reading: I am still reading the Mortal Instruments series. Last night I finished book three City of Glass. I was just trying to think about which one so far has been my favourite, but I can't decide! Out of all of them so far I finished the second one the fastest, but I loved the first one because you're getting to know everything and then there is one hell of twist at the end which I'm still getting over. The third one is amazing too because there are so many questions finally answered. I stayed up most of the night because I just couldn't put it down. I'm just waiting (not so patiently) for the film now!

(Loved) Television: I watched three episodes of Luther in a row on Monday. Then I was annoyed at myself because I was going to Melbourne later in the day and couldn't watch the season finale on Wednesday until I got back on Friday. While I was in Melbourne I bought season one of New Girl. I fell into a sort of NG vortex after that. I watched episode after episode. I had to pull myself out of it for work on Saturday. These two shows have been my life this week (aside from exploring Melbourne, of course). 

(Loved) Film: This week Jess and I watched a couple of films on a girly night in with the friends I was staying with in Melbourne. One of them was 21 Jump Street which is one of the most hilarious films ever. I remember going to see it in the cinema with Jess and we were just so surprised at how funny it turned out to be, and how Channing Tatum was suddenly a comic genius. I feel as though it's a really clever, stupid, silly comedy. If that makes any sense at all.

(Loved) Random: I just downloaded the app Candy Crush. I've heard a lot about it before but had never actually remembered to download it. Work was utterly quiet on Saturday, and so when one of my friends from work brought it up I immediately went to install it. I've been hooked since! Sadly, I'm currently waiting to get my lives back but it's kind of worked out as a good thing because I'm not sure this post would have gone up in time otherwise. Also loving the Best Song Ever by One Direction which came out earlier this week. I've got it on repeat while playing Candy Crush . . . it's probably a good thing uni goes back tomorrow, eh?


Please let me know what you guys have been loving this week in the comments. I love hearing from you! 

Week in Review #1

Hei hei guys,

Sorry I haven't posted in so long, but I've had an excuse: I've been in Europe for the past three weeks! I got back about a week ago, and I've been thinking over what I want to do with this blog. So I've come up with some new ideas that I hope you guys all enjoy! One of those things is this new "Week in Review" post, that hopefully will go up every Sunday and like the title states, just is a little space for me to tell you guys what I've been loving and watching during the week. So without further ado. . .

(Loved) Reading: I have started reading The Mortal Instruments series in anticipation for the movie coming out next month. I read the first one, City of Bones, in about two days and the plot twist, oh my goodness I'm still not over it and I'm now onto City of Glass, which is the third one. These books are a very easy read but are fast paced, funny and very addictive. Whenever I've finished one, my kindle recommends other stuff for me like Divergent and Beautiful Creatures, neither of which I have read, but  it's something to compare it to if you have

(Loved) Films: Since coming back from Europe I have seen one film, which I will be doing a post on later in the week. I did really like it, way more than I thought I would, and that was The Heat. Look out for my review, but what I will add into this little section here is that I have no stopped watching the second The Hunger Games: Catching Fire trailer since it came out yesterday. I am so looking forward to this movie it's not even funny. Plus, Finnick is in this trailer, I repeat, Finnick is in this trailer!

(Loved) Television: My friend I travelled with brought New Girl Season Two with her to watch on her ipad during our long travel periods. I have to admit here that I watched some random, middle of the second season episodes, without watching either season one, or the episodes in season two before these ones. I absolutely loved them! Why had I not watched these before? So I have come home to start season one, and totally out of character for me, I have restricted myself to watching one episode a night. That's how much I love it!

(Loved) Randomness: This past week I have been spending, spending, spending. And not on the usual stuff like dvd's and food. No, this week I've bought my ticket to Melbourne to watch Liverpool play Melbourne Victory, tickets to see Beyonce in early November (!!!!) and tickets to the Game of Thrones night in Sydney in mid-November. I am so excited for this, words cannot even describe. I am going to see George R.R. Martin and Peter Dinklage live and talking about the greatest books in the world.

(Loved) SDCC: This is a little extra that won't be in each week, but I have been absolutely loving all the stuff coming out from Comic-Con. All photos used in this post are from there, and I had to seriously cull down which ones I wanted to show you guys. I'm seriously considering going next year, but I think I would just be a bawling mess. I'm crying now just thinking about how amazing it would be.

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what you guys have been loving this week and definitely let me know whether you got tickets for the Game of Thrones night too . . . or Beyonce, or the Liverpool game.
