Fill-in blog

Wow. I did such a good job on keeping up on blogging last year, and this year - nope. Sure last year was more exciting and all, but surely everyone wants to know about how boring my life's been right? Yeah, you're right, I would not want to hear about it either, but I have a few minutes to spare, so I may as well talk about it.

First of all, I'm writing this from my now seventh month old MacBook Pro (I wrote 3 blogs about an iPod and none on a new computer!). My Dell notebook was sllloooowwwlllyyy on it's way out (and, sure enough, it died a month after getting the Mac). I needed something more powerful for video editing and 3D, so I took the plunge and switched to Mac. Even though it was more expensive, I feel it suits my needs better, plus it's just plain cool. I don't think they are for everyone though.

Part of the reason behind the no blogging is that this would have to have been my worst semester at uni yet. Don't get me wrong, I still love uni, but ridiculous things like having the mid semester break before week 12 and having 5 assignments due in a two week period (admittedly across 2 faculties, so there's no one really to blame for that) have made life a little hard. Not to mention getting my wisdom teeth out (which went really well) and getting sick a week and a half later (courtesy of my family). I'm really looking forward to the summer break. I know I'll be wanting to go back to uni by January, but for now I need it! Surprisingly grade-wise I'm not doing too badly, but it will be nice to have the pressure off!

I got to see Wicked the other week, which was fantastic! I've fallen in love with the show and would jump at the chance to see it again.

I think 2010 is shaping up to be the next big year movie-wise. As well as Deathly Hallows Part One (which still sounds strange to me!) and Voyage of the Dawn Treader (my favorite Narnia book) they've been announcing the casting for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The fact that Tim Burton is doing a version of Alice is already fantastic, but the cast being announced is amazing as always - Johnny Depp (of course) as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter (of course) as the Queen of Hearts, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, Matt Lucas as Tweedledum/Tweedledee and an new Australian girl as Alice. Reports are already saying its very different, as of course a Burton film will be.

I've also become a little obsessed with the Twilight saga. It's crazy - they're written in the first person (which I don't particularly like) and not written particularly well (in my opinion) but they draw you in so well. I read Eclipse in a day - the only other book I've done that for is Deathly Hallows. I'm looking forward to the film - I've been a fan of Robert Pattinson since he played Cedric, and the fact that it was not made with a major studio backing interests me very much.

Well, I think that is about it for now, I must try and post more often!
