I will probably be posting less here as I've made a new blog over on wordpress. It's kind of for college, a bit more general than this, and will eventually be more wordy. Visit if you wish!

I never got to see LCD Soundsystem live...this looks incredible. And his dog!


I did see James Murphy djing in Paris once... My friend and I were lucky enough to have a (very drunken) chat with him after his set and he seems like a lovely guy. That he has such a gorgeous dog just confirms it.

Guilty Pleasure of the week...of the YEAR?!

Got my tickets to the reunion of...
Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block.
Yep, I'm that cool.

And, I'm going to see Bruce Springsteen in the Summer.
Cannot. Wait.

I love live shows!

I don't have many New Year's Resolutions.
other than to BLOG MORE...
To write letters to friends abroad, penpals anyone?!

And to learn this dance.
I'm sure everything else will fall into place.



My favourite (yes, that's One Direction) songs from 2011...





More soon.
Happy New Year!

I'm going to Paris in less than two weeks (crutches or no crutches!) and have been drooling over everything on the city of lights.
I saw Midnight in Paris last week and it was divine. I think I need to see it again and actually pay attention to the plot this time, I was just gazing at the beautiful scenery in the background.

Here's the opening credits:

I won't lie when I say my heart hurt a little bit watching this film, but I shall see my lovely city so soon!

on a somewhat related note, I've been trawling through this amazing blog.

Behold, some lovely pics from (I think) the most recent PFW.

Currently incapacitated after falling down the stairs. My leg is in a cast (for at least a week) and I feel like Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window.

Cabin fever is already beginning to set in, and it's only day one.

I'm not an especially active person but I don't like the idea of being confined to the couch for 6 days. And the thought of not being able to cook (my only relaxation method) is killing me!

I've got some work I need to catch up on and lots of TV to watch.

And I just started reading this:


I think I've got enough to keep me occupied, but would greatly appreciate any cures for boredom?
