What I'm currently listening to:

I can't wait to see Crazy Heart! I've been looking forward to it since I first heard about it a couple of months ago. I'm ecstatic Jeff Bridges has been winning awards all over the place for Best Actor in this movie. Fingers crossed he gets an Oscar as well!
The whole soundtrack is wonderful but 'The Weary Kind' is what captured my interest in the music after hearing it on the trailer. Hopefully it scores Best Original Song as well!

Terrific soundtrack to an amazing movie! I never expected to love it as much as I did. Definitely one of my favourites of 2009. Now I really want to watch Tarantino's other films!

Although all other tv and movie watching is on hold until Feb 2nd when the sixth and final season of LOST premieres. I'd been planning to rewatch all the episodes before it started. Yet here I am with about 8 days until the new season and I am still watching season 1, YIKES!
I'm not giving up though and hopefully I'll at least make it to season 3 before it comes back!

Melbourne Uni

This is where I'm going this year! I've know since results came out in December so I wasn't nervous or worried about offers. I've known probably since year 9 that this is where I wanted to be. I also have a Scholarship for Melbourne Uni.
I'm so excited but terrified at the same time. High school and all that is well and truly over.

Burberry Trench

I LOVE the trench Emma Watson is wearing from the upcoming Burberry collection. I wonder when it will be available in Australia. Absolutely stunning!

Seeing Roger Federer

I spent Thursday in the city and by chance around 5 happened to be on Collins St. There was a bit of a crowd outside Lindt and a channel 9 van so I figured something was happening. I thought it might have had something to do with the person being arrested on the other side of the street.

However then I recalled seeing something in Lindt the last time I was there about a competition to meet Roger. So I decided to stick around for a bit and see if we could spot him. He came a little after 5 and was directly in front of me! It was really exciting! I got a few pictures on my iphone but they are pretty dismal. I knew I should have taken my proper camera with me!

I've been a tennis fan for a long time. I used to play and have lessons every week. Although school via accelerated maths after school got in the way and I had to give it up. I can't remember the last time I played :(. I'm hopeful I'll go back to it sometime soon though!

Anway, onto the bad pictures I managed to take on my iphone. The bottom ones are from the shoe store next there. Mum wanted to go in there anyway. There was a whole bunch of people at the window taking pictures!

Diva Buys

Today whilst out on a random trip to the shops I stopped by diva to see if they had any interesting rings.
I ended up with 2 and some earrings!

(Sorry about the picture. I still can't figure out how to rotate them =/)

Apologies for the bad pictures, they were taken on my iphone.

New Books!

My most recent book purchases from Borders over the weekend!

I'd been wanting Wolf Hall for months after reading a review of it in the A2 feature of the Age before it won the Man Booker prize and everything.

Likewise with Sherlock Holmes.

Fantastic Mr Fox I wanted so I could read before seeing the movie since I never read it in my childhood. I'm enjoying it so far!

The hardcover penguins were further editions to my collection of Penguin Hardcovers. I think I have almost all of them now :)

Tumblr

So I finally got a Tumblr. I found it a bit weird to use at first and still do a bit.
Although I think I'm getting the hang of it now :)

It's here: http://dreamswept.tumblr.com/ if your interested in checking out the random things I post.

MIA

Sorry for the lack of updates!
Been busy with a multitude of events including multiple birthdays (including my 18th :D) and other occasions.

Melbourne's weather has not been helping matters either. All I've been doing is lying around watching tv and reading.

Last night was the hottest in 100 years! That is absolutely crazy!

Will be updating soon though!

Alice In Wonderland.

Alice in Mad Men

Amazing!



I am currently reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. I can't believe I haven't read it before. So far so good. I watched the Disney movie when I was young and always liked it but it was never a favourite. That honour goes to Beauty and the Beast and the Aristocats!

And I can't forget the upcoming Tim Burton directed Alice in Wonderland. I've never been a huge fan of his and am not sure how I feel about the upcoming movie. Visually it looks pretty amazing but it seems to deviate too far from the original for my liking. I will reserve my opinion until I see it. Pretty excited to see it in 3D!

Cinema 2009

I'm not sure if it shows, but I am obsessed with movies!
Absolutely LOVE them!
I came across these videos on 2009 in cinema. Amazing! It was a good year.

WARNING: Spoilers!





Unfortunately I saw no where near enough movies in 2009. I hope to rectify that in 2010!

Another thing I love about the start of the new year is awards season! I can't wait for the oscar nominations and of course the Golden Globes and SAGS!

Hope everyone is having a good 2010 so far! :)

One week until my 18th! Supposedly it's meant to be 38 degrees, yikes! :S
