Winter nights on the couch

Yes, I admit I have sucumbed to the laziness of winter evenings in a freezing flat and I ave resigned myself many a time to the couch with a glass of warming red wine and a dvd. Trying to make the most of my movieshack unlimited subscription that I accidently paid for!

So here's a few star ratings for the films I have watched. out of 5
click the name for a link to the official site with previews
Munich**** very graphic and violent, a bit of suspense but very real
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon*** a chinese film, beautiful
Once were Warriors*** Deep. Sad. Gutting. Violent and not very hopeful but a well put together story all the same.
Hotel Rwanda ***** amazing. this will bring both tears and anger, based on true events and has won a tonne of awards already.
Les Miserables **** An incredible story that has been acted out on stage for many years. The actors have done a good job. Features Geoffrey Rush and Claire Danes.
Pink Panther Strikes Again * Poor, the kind of movie that gets me frustrated, didn't see it through

Did I mention 24? I have been glued to the screen like never before - this is the coolest tv series ever, I don't know if I could ever watch it on tv though because I can't even wait 2 minutes for the credits to roll before switching to the next episode!

Taranaki Coast

I took this at a Christian Surfers Easter Camp in Taranaki this year. I just uploaded it onto my computer and am using it as my desktop, I like the silohoute of the couple with a guitar through the mesh.

How do you spell silohoute?? Thats a tricky one...

the things I like

Just thinking about what I'm loving in life these last few weeks.

Snowpatrol's new album (Eyes open)

Surfing in crisp clear and cold winter water

Watching a DVD snuggled under blankets on the couch

Oil painting on my bedroom floor listening to Sigur Ros

Driving home in the early morning hours after a good night out

Chocolate self saucing pudding

Dreaming of adventures I could do as soon as exams are over!
