And I know that home is where you want me...
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY!!!!!!!
Ugh, I can't believe it's 2011... 2010 went by so freakin' fast, didn't it?! How weird... but anyways, I hope you all had a wonderful New Year's Eve! =)
I'll admit, my holidays were not the best this time...
Last night was actually the most boring NYE I've had in years! It was only me and my parents, at home, watching tv until the midnight stroke, with an expensive bottle of wine.
(and just to make it clear, I don't drink! And last night, I had two glasses! So yes... outside, shiny and bubbly... inside, god I wish I was wasted!)
Oh, and Christmas?! Well... Christmas pretty much sucked!
Most presents I've got were basically clothes, all which I'd already gotten a couple weeks before Christmas... other than that I got a book and a perfume sprayer thingie from my mom - which didn't really count, cuz I picked them both!
... The only real Christmas present I got was from di_br. She got me a LOTR action figure! How awesome and considered is that?! (once again, THANK YOU DI!!! *hugs Di*)
I know, I sound like a spoiled brat, rambling on about not getting enough presents... but seriously, it's Christmas dammit! It's part of the magic of it all!
And I mean, there was only gonna 5 people (me, the parents, my brother and grandma), the food was pretty much what we usually have every year... and then, there were no presents?!
I've had a pretty rough year, you know... senior year of college, losing my weekends with projects, very little sleep, working my butt off, almost losing my mind... is it too much to ask for a little magic at the end of it all?! Jeez, thanks a lot family!
Well, since I got this last week off from work (and the week before was really really slow there), I used it to catch up on a bunch of stuff...
MOVIES
I couldn't really wait until they premiered here, so I downloaded and watched a few movies:
. The Social Network - I've seen twice now and reeeeaaally liked it!
. Never Let Me Go - I loved Andrew Garfield in TSN so much, I had to see this one... turned out to be one of the saddest, most depressing films I've seen in a very long time! I cried so much at the end... but is still a beautiful story!
. Black Swan - very creepy, very intense and not really the most comfortable movie to watch... but also very good! It'll get you talking in the end!
. Tangled - loved, loved, LOVED IT!!! It is so witty and so funny and it's just too precious for words! Everybody should see it!
. I also got to see TRON Legacy twice now (at the theater, not home) and I personally thought it was really cool! Yeah, the story is a bit too "Disney" and sugarcoated, blah blah... but the visuals are totally worth it! It's really a visually stunning movie - and not to mention, the soundtrack kicks *major* ass!!!
TV
. I watched the first season of The Walking Dead... and sorry fans, but I'm not really feeling it! It's a good show and all... the zombies are well made, the plot it consistent... but I dunno, I guess the characters are just too blah for my taste! The only one I liked in there is Glenn... I don't really care about the rest...
So, I don't know if I'll keep watching in the future or not - let's wait and see!
. I also watched both season's of Misfits and I gotta say, I'm pleasantly surprised! Now that is a character show... I really really liked it!
Nathan is just hysterical! There are times I love him, others I wanna punch him in the face... but he's awesome no matter what!
I also looooooove Simon! He's so awkward and weird, but he's also the sweetest! He and Nathan are so funny together, I love that!
(But I still can't believe season 3 only premieres in November! An entire year of waiting??? Not cool, people!)
. And last, but certaintly not least... I've officially become a Fringie! Me and my mom pretty much devoured season 1 of Fringe in about a week and a half and we are HOOKED! Cannot wait for what's coming in season 2!
The characters rock... Olivia is a just a BAMF, Peter kicks major ass, Walter is so sweet and so funny... heck, even Broyles is awesome! LOVE IT! =D
OTHERS
. I've been really into making TOP 5 lists over at Tumblr and this past couple weeks, I've compiled a few of those "Favorites of 2010" ones... in case anyone is curious, here they are: http://such-torturous-things.tumblr.com/tagged/top_5
. Since I'm now graduated, I can finally go back to working on my graphics... and I decided to make a new fake-poster for "The Hunger Games"... I've posted a little sneak peek a few days ago... what do you guys think?! =)
. I also really want to go back to vidding... I really do, I miss it a lot... I've got a bunch of ideas screaming in my head and I wanna get them out! Not to mention, there's a couple of old projects here that I really wanna finish...
But I wanna do it right this time - like really experiment more and do something different, with great music and colorings and effects! Both full vids and vidlets... so fingers crossed, people! =D
