Getting away from Reality

Above is one of many many many great scenes from Black Books. But why can't I get to hide from life and its minions underneath a table with a good book and a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster? I could use that right now.

Now there's a beauty

Fight Club is one of my favourite movies of all time and this poster you see below really inspired some feelings of nostalgia when I saw it. And reminded me that I need to do a rewatch. Again. I had a habit of watching this whenever I had a high fever and since I haven't had a spell of high fever in a while... Well, no luck. Just try it yourselves and tell me it doesn't carry a certain appeal.

DON'T PANIC

I've got 3 hours left until deadline and need some 200 more words for that hellish essay. I haven't slept properly since friday and am feeling more than a bit pressured at this point. I sure as hell shouldn't sit here and oogle through Tumblr again. My brain is still missing and I know this is going to be pure disasaster. It's not the end of the world to be honest, I could write some complementary words once I get the essay back with comments but... yeah. When will I learn though?

Die William, die...

Every damn time I watch The Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl I think to myself "this is some amazing music" but  then I get frustrated and think "why can't William Turner just get on with it and DIE?!?" It would have solved the issue with the two incredibly useless sequels.
Just sayin'.

What. The. Hell.

I just realized I have no clue what I'm doing.

Essays again

End of the semester and two days until I have to hand in a short essay. I'm writing about the importance of gender in the genocide of Rwanda 1994. Very uplifting stuff, eh? That's why I'm spending ridiculous amounts of time on Tumblr and watching Disney movies. I'm just going to ignore it for a while longer.

Lets forget 2012, Happy New 2013.

So.
It's 2013 now.

2012 was the year...

• ...I moved to Gothenburg.
• ...I had 14 866 visitors to this blog. Impressive, eh?
• ...that I discovered Doctor Who and Sherlock and thereby had my life enriched.
• ...I discovered new friends.
• ...I became a Tumblr addict. It. Never. Ends. I can't even...
• ...one of my best friends and I went to New York together to celebrate our decade of friendship.
• ...I cut my hair off and loved it.
• ...Diablo III was released, I got it and I wasn't very impressed. I'm still playing occasionally and am still not impressed.
• ...I got a new job.
• ...I became an aunt for the third time in my life.
• ...I didn't go to The Medieval Week on Gotland.
• ...my tattoo got a little bigger.
• ...I started following the awesome John and Hank Green on Youtube (Vlogbrothers). DFTBA.
• ...my wait for The Hobbit finally came to an end.
• ...the world was supposed to end too but... didn't.

All in all a year like any other I suppose.

For 2013 I'd like more of everything that's good. A lot of great movies coming up this year. I've decided to go to Gotland this year because I'm actually missing all that medieval fun and it's their 30th anniversary. A bigger tattoo perhaps? Yeah. Time will tell. I'll finally get my university degree.

Stay nerdy my friends and lets make 2013 a year to remember.

Happy X-Mas

Love each other a little extra over the Holidays. Hold each other tighter, kiss a little longer.
Love yourselves. You're all so awesome.
Happy Holidays and lots of love from me to You.

Oh Mayans...

So the world didn't end huh? Well, we all knew it could end just yet - the third season of Game of Thrones isn't until March and we can't have the world ending before we get to see what happens next now can we? Nope, none of that.

Dear stupid people

But I'm really not that scary with a pictur like that, am I?

Just comes to show that Comic Sans is never scary. Never.

Bagginses

I think I did alright at work after seeing The Hobbit. Slept for 2 hours and then did 10 hours of work before I could go home and die a little. Oh sweet caffeine, you know how to keep me awake.
But strangely enough I really can’t figure out if I liked the movie or not and that’s usually a bad sign for me. Now, I haven’t read The Hobbit in a few years and don’t remember it very well but I felt the movie was cluttered and sometimes just too much. There’s also some amount of nagging worry about how they’ve managed to make three movies out of a book of 120 pages. And then there’s Dr Wats... no wait, I mean Martin Freeman, and his constant look of equal parts surprise and puzzlement. And WHAT THE HELL WERE THE WARG RIDERS DOING AT WEATHERTOP??! Is it just me or does it bother anyone else that the Wolves of Isengard are roaming through Arnor?
It was beautiful though - stunningly so. 48 frames per second and 3D was awesome.
I have to see it again.

You obviously like owls

I'm either half-caf or espresso.

Gonna be tired

I got my complete work schedule for December today and realized that I'll be working the day after the premiere of The Hobbit. That is; movie starts at 00:05AM and it's 2 hours and 50 minutes long. After that I'll have to walk home because the next bus would leave at 05:22AM and I'm not waiting for that. Walking would take me 30-40 minutes so I'll be home just before 04:00AM. My alarm clock will go off at 06:55. If I'm lucky that means 2 hours of sleep before my scheduled 10 hours at work.
Caffeine pills, here we come!

...woohoo...*insert grumpy cat face*

I'm taking The Hobbit...

I'VE GOT A TICKET TO THE PREMIERE SHOWING! 3D and High Frame Rate and so on and so forth... After almost freezing my toes off in the cold I actually GOT A TICKET!

I'M SO HAPPY I COULD EXPLODE!

Precioussss...

Did I buy this? Yes. Yes, I did.
I sense a certain Hobbit fever going around right now which I'm not completely comfortable with. I feel my expectations going through the roof and I really don't want all that to fall flat. I'm scared that I won't like it. The Hobbit isn't a particularly long book and to make not one, not two but three movies out of it... I don't know. It's been a very tedious nine years since The Return of the King premiered - the movie I went and watched three times at cinemas despite it being three hours long and an almost constantly empty wallet - and I know that my inner Ringer will explode with pleasure within the first ten minutes. No. Make that five minutes.
