Movie weekend

Today is my seveneth day of my new diet and I am happy to say I lost 3lb this week, I have been on the special K diet where I eat two bowls a day one for breakfast and one for lunch then a sensible meal in the evening. I have also cut out all soda, chocolate, cakes and crisps. I am usually terrible at sticking to diet but I am actually enjoying this one I am really motivated to get back in to shape and keep a healthy diet.
On thursday I also started Zumba, I have done salsa and contry dancing in the past but nothing this energetic. To say I have the rythm of an ironing board is an understatement but I will get the hang of it in the end :)

I managed to get to the cinema this weekend and watch the new cowboy and aliens and it is fantastic. It makes a change for Harrison Ford to play a bad guy however he pulled it off and even made the characther likeable so even though you start off hating him you end up routing for him. Daniel Craig as always doesn't disappoint however his performance did remind me slighy of James Bond but I love Bond and I loved this. So Craig plays a wanted outlaw Jake who wakes up in the desert with no memory and a strange bracelet on his wrist heads in to the nearest town. When he arrives a series of events lead him right in the middle of an attack by alien ships. The bracelet on his wrist activates and he manages to destroy on of the craft. Harrison Ford plays a grumpy civil war vet Dolarhyde and together with Craig they set out to save the towns people which includes Dolarhyde son. They mount a rescue group and it consist of a cowardly doctor looking for his wife, a precher, sherifs young grandson and a strange woman Ella who is just quite not what she seems. Ella is played by Olivia Wilde who to be honest did out shine the leading guys in some parts, but I don't want to give to much away and spoil it. This is a must see and you will be kicking yourself if you miss it.

Beastly - Now this film I have been waiting months to watch, I know it is pretty obvious what is going to happen because we have all seen the film Beauty and the beast. However I can't resist a good love story and this film does not disappoint. It stars Vanessa Hudgens and Alex Pettyfer. Pettyfer plays a self obessed teen who thinks looks are everything, when he humiliates a fellow student who happens to be a witch she curses him that if he doesn't find love in a year he will remain ugly and she make him to what he thinks as unloveable and hideous. Hudgens plays a daughter of a drug addict and she is sent to stay with Pettyfer for her protection and overtime she falls in love with him. But does she break the curse? Watch to find out this is a great film

Insidious - Now when I saw this advertised at the cinema the trailer scared me which is rare because I love horror films. However I saw it in blockbuster and thought I would give it ago. It has quite a good storyline but could have a been better in some parts, but the scare factor is great at one point I had goosebumps. Ending could have been better as it just finishes at a cliffhanger which makes you think what was the whole point if you are going to end it like that. But as a stand alone horror it doesn't disappoint one to watch if you fancy being scared senseless

There are a few songs which I can't not stop listening to lately and they are:

• Ed Sheeran - A Team (Acoustic)
• Res - Tsunami
• Levi Kreis - I should go
• Garrett Hedlund - Give in to me
• Leighton Meester - A little bit stronger
• Bon Iver - Skinny Love
• Kal Lavelle - Shivers
 

 

 

 

 

 



How fast they grow

I can't believe Shelby my beautiful Siberian Husky cross is 9 months old and weighs a huge 65lb, it doesn't seem possible how fast she has grown.

Now this is what she looked like the first night we brought her home

This is what she looks like now

She is a handful but she is getting better as we keep up the training and constant walks. She is still a nightmare for my shoes and socks but I wouldn't change her for the world she has got an amazing character.

When we had a weeks holiday we took her to my grandparents where she met the neighbours dog Kaiser and he is so well behaved. They instantly took to each other and kept hanging over the wall licking each other I think she found herself a boyfriend because they wasn't too happy when we had to leave

New Ink

I know I keep telling everyone that I am not getting anymore tattoos then I find a design or think of something new and I keep getting them. Today I had another two done one on my shoulder and one on my left foot and the one on my foot killed so far that is the worst place I have had tattooed

Here is my next possible design I have always loved dragons so check it out:

Changes

So I only have a few days left of my holiday and to be honest I have loved my week off, it has given me chance to relax and reflect on what I actually want out of life and I think I need to do some serious changes if I am going to achieve anything I want. I don't want to be sitting here in ten years time thinking what the hell did I ever do with my life apart from watch opportunities fly past. I am seriously thinking of applying for a open university to do a writing and English course so maybe I can get my stuff together and finally do something with my writing.
If that fails then I would love open up a day care centre for dogs where people can leave them there when they go to work or away for a few days, we would do training lesson, social clubs, grooming everything that a dog would need, also take in any abandoned dogs that just need a little help recovering before they are re homed. This would be my dream job as I have always wanted to work with animals but since I have had Shelby I have been dog crazy.
I also want to get myself in to shape because I want to do the London Marathon before I am 25 (only 2 years to go). Plus there is my every growing bucket list that would take me years to complete but I am determined to do every thing on it

One more crossed off my Bucket List

I am now on a weeks holiday so I plan on making the most of my time off. Today I went with my Parents to London to go to the National History Museum to see the Age of Dinosaurs exhibition

Now I always love going to London so I was really excited to be going and even better to be seeing this exhibition as it was on my bucket list. However I was a little disappointed when we actually saw it, although everything that was there was great especially the animatronics they are life size and so life like. There just wasn't enough there for the price it cost to see.

So after the exhibition we had a look around the rest of the museum and there was some fab artifacts. We then grabbed a tube and went to Westminster and grabbed a meal in a small restaurant bar which serves the best food ever.
After a nice walk along embankment we made our way back to Victoria and got the train home. It seemed the train journey took hours we managed to get the slow one which must have stopped at every station on the way back.


Keep tuned for more days out this week I have loads of things I want to do and not enough days to fit it all in but I will have some to blog about

             

UNKNOWN
This stars Liam Neeson as a Dr who travels to Berlin with his wife and he gets into a taxi trying to get back to the airport to find his missing luggage however he gets in to a accident and wakes up four days later in hospital with little memory. When he retraces his steps and finds his wife she denies knowing him he also find another man has not only taken his identity but taken his place as his wife's husband and she believes it. Throughout the film it has you on the edge of your seat wondering how he is going to get himself out this situation
My rating 8/10

LET ME IN - Now this film I was a little unsure if to get cause I heard mixed reviews also I had seen some of the 2008 Swedish version and wasn't that keen. But I gave it a go and it was surprisingly a good film, a little slow but delivered in the end. It stars Kodi-Smit Mcphee as Owen a young boy that is badly bullied at school and his parents are going through a bad divorce he befriends his new neighbour who he doesn't know is a vampire played by Chloe Moretz all he knows is she is called Abbey and just moved in with her father. As the film goes on you see the charatchers come closer and closer together. check this film out and give it chance because it does start a little slow but gets better as it goes on - my rating 7/10
