Snowed in....

........wooaahh...

Yeah..so ...here in the UK we have had a downpour of snow. We don't deal with snow too well, especially when we are now wanting Spring to come. We tend to have a whole news channel dedicated to repeating eveything we already knew before the first time they told us. 
This meant I couldn't get to work and, if I wasn't so worried about getting paid, I'd have been really happy.....However, making a giant Totoro out of snow with my boyfriend was a silver-lining.


and just to show his scale..


He's Enormous! And seems real when you walk past the window and see him hanging out in the garden planting tree seeds.

The good thing is atleast this didn't happen Wednesday. I went for my interview at Bournemouth college for the Theatre, special effect and media make up/ hair course level 3. Looked good :( but the lady said because of my degree I may not be able to be funded for a course that's a level less than my degree level. But they have accepted me Soo...I wrote to them to beg, just like how I'm going to beg for hours at work. But I want to do the course so I will work for it!


I watched Norwegian Wood movie. Its good. One of those movies you don't get into straight away and don't feel like you will, but next thing you know you've stopped everything you're doing and taking it all in...I think about it a lot now after. It's sad though, so watch out!

Done some more reviews - take a peek ;)

Anime and Manga..

..I have done some more reviews....still more to do though, gonna take a while. I have the books to do aswel.

There's still quite a few anime movies I want to see but some can be quite pricey.

There's 'The place promised in our early days' By the same people who made '5 centimetres per second'



'Voices of a distant star'  - by the same people again.



These animes are quite expensive on amazon...but they have a new one coming out soon called 'Journey to Agartha' 



'Welcome to the space show'  - I have been waiting for this movie since I saw it advertised at the London MCM in October 2011...omg, it was that long ago!



'From up on Poppy Hill' - the new Ghibli film



'Paranoia Agent'  - this was recommended to me by a friend.



These will be my next anime movies to watch! 

Long time no type...

....It's been a long time since I blogged...

Kinda vanished over Christmas. 
Let's see.....I worked, I worked, caught the flu and worked some more. Yet, for some reason, I am still poor and without money. But nevertheless I shall carry on.
The best thing to do when your down is watch anime, eat chocolate and play games :)
 So, I have been doing these things and therefore am going to write some more anime reviews!

Currently, I am watching 'Azumanga Daioh'. Its a slice of life comedy which are pretty much always cute.


It's, basically, about girls that go to school.....that's it really. But it's nice and kinda what I expected.

For Christmas I got an Asian film called 'Norwegian Wood' which I have yet to watch and will be reviewing after. It looks really good,sad, but good and has positive reviews already so I very much look forward to it. My boyfriend always buys me an Asian movie, last time it was 'Solanin' based on a manga by Asano Inio, who is a brilliant storyteller and artist. Its also very sad. He also got me 'Afro Samurai: Murder sessions' which I need to watch so will be doing so in the next few days hopefully. 
So...yeah, I'll blog again once I have reviewed a few more things :)

*Peace*
