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!

A Colbert Christmas + Boxing Day!

I LOVE this DVD so much!
Lately I've watched it around 3 times, I'm actually watching it right now.
I wanted to post a pic of my dvd but my iphone is being a MAJOR pain and not recognising the sim card :( and it's too much hassle to grab the other camera.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season!
I've had a fantastic one :)

I ended up going to the Boxing Day sales at Chadstone today and what a NIGHTMARE =/. It was alright at the start but the crowds soon got insane so we headed home. Usually I can't get enough of shops but sometimes it's just too much. A bunch of things I wanted weren't available so that was frustrating.
I ended up getting three books: 2 orange penguin classics and a hardcover penguin so it wasn't a complete bust.
Also got some clothes!

I really wanted to go see Sherlock Holmes but we had plans already. So that's on the agenda for tomorrow :D

I'll be back soon with hopefully a picture post! :)
Take care,
N.

Things

From the family on Monday :)

One of my all time favourite books!




This ad is stunning.

My collection of hardback Penguin Classics so far.


Degraves St Facing Flinders Station

The view from one of the floors of David Jones. This photo was the result of boredom while Mum was trying stuff on.

Apologies for the lack of real posts this week. Been busy with various things including a Melb Uni celebration evening for this program I was part of. I've also been watching a lot of movies in preparation for awards season. I love the Golden Globes, SAGs and Oscars!

It's disappointing that Lost has been overlooked for Best Drama though.

So far out of all the movies I've seen An Education and Inglourious Basterds have been my favourites. I've never been a big fan of Quentin Tarantino but now I'm really keen to check out his older films!


How fantastic was Christoph Waltz in Inglorious Basterds! I hope he sweeps the awards this season.

I hope to be back with more exciting posts soon!
Take Care,

Week In Pictures

Unfortunately I haven't had much time to post so I thought instead of doing a boring long rambling post on what I've been up to, I'd do a picture post to give a bit of insight into what I've been up to!

Feel free to email me or comment any thoughts/suggestions you have for the blog!

Where we went for dinner on Sunday Night!

Swings in the children's playground.

The monkey bars/ rope climbing thing. It's not visible in the photo but the top two rungs were broken! Not very child friendly!


I love coffee much more than I probably should!

Badly taken photo on the iphone in cinema nova. I went there on Wednesday with a friend to see An Education. It was a fantastic film!

Dymocks on Collins St. I adore this bookstore! Notice the Olivia display up the top? She is the star of the 2009 Myer windows. I have to say, although I do not fit the age group to which she is meant to appeal, I think she is awesome!

Last week I finished The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. It was a terrific book. Although I had no idea what to read next. So all these books are currently sitting on my bed side table.

Sorry, not sure how to rotate pictures yet! =/

I've settled on Sherlock Holmes and I am really enjoying it. I can't wait for the movie! I hope it's good!

Take care!
More to come soon!
