The future and why I really don’t like to think about it!
It’s a standard cliché for a person not to think about their future, and it’s a box that I fit into incredibly comfortably. Not because I don’t think my future is bright, far from it! No, it’s more because I have literally no idea what I am going to be doing in 6 months time.
I am the 1%!
No, no, I’m not talking about the Occupy movement. I am certainly one of the 99% there. I recently made the decision to purchase the box set one of my favourite TV shows of last year. Hart of Dixie is a great little story about a city girl trying to make it in the country….
Valentine’s Day, or V-Day, if you will…

The Oscars 2013
TGIAS… or Thank God It’s Awards Season. I’m not going to deny it, I love awards season. And the highlight is The Oscars. The most prestigious and biased film awards ceremony. Today, was an important day though, as the nominations for the 85th Annual Academy Awards were released!
Ellen’s Short Round Up of 2012
2012 is well and truly over, and it was a good year, with a lot of good films, music, books, and TV, so I thought I’d do a short round-up of my favourites!
