TV! Sweet, sweet TV.

Yep, no matter how pre-occupied one gets with university, extra readings and life in general, there can always be room for TV. Of course, I'll probably still watch most of my shows on my laptop (I'm planning on catching up on Big Love, Mad Men and White Collar) but we do have Sky+ so I can also catch up onn Modern Family and even record AC360, thank you very much technology (provided by Murdoch but let's nimbly skip over that little bit.) I can't believe it's so close to Xmas already, how did that happen? Exams distracted me I guess. It's so good to be home, even though they're driving me ever so slightly up the wall. I'm completely broke (the last of my alloted money went to seeing Where the Wild Things Are and Avatar 3D with Nat in all his fanboying glory.) so it's also highly economical. Sadly my plan to work in Tescos for extra January money failed - seriously, you had no vacancies at all? How does an evil corporation stop accepting willing workers?

I hope everybody got their cards and/or presents. My flatmate informed me that a bunch of packages arrived after I left (typical) so thanks to everyone who sent me something too! At least this way you know I'm not opening them before the 25th. Now, for lack of interesting things to discuss, more link vomit!

Bright Star Dimmed: On "Female movies" and being overlook at awards season. Since the Golden Globes were announced, I'm in full movie-buff mode and the lack of a nomination for Abbie Cornish is shocking but not surprising.

Michael Stuhlbarg interview. Seriously, I love this man. He's my favourite performance of the year in my 2nd favourite film of 2009 (just beaten by Up) and since it seems unlikely that he'll get an Oscar nomination (he's got a Globe one though, don't disappoint me HFPA!) I',m just going to pimp him out so everybody can fall in love with him.

Stephen King's 10 Favourite books of the year. He's a thriller man and it shows. Not sure number 2 counts but it was a fantastic book so I'll let it slide.

Friends on the Other Side (The Princess and the Frog): Since I have to wait until freaking February to see the film everyone in America has already seen, I've been making do with the soundtrack. Dr Facillier seems like a damn cool villain, kind of like a voodoo Cab Calloway.

Rachel Maddow mixes a sidecar. Seriously, pundits and alcohol! I love watching cocktails being mixed, it's like a cooking show but with booze!   

link vomit, money troubles, christmas, friends
