I have run out of foundation and blusher at the same time. Only to discover that they have both been discontinued. My mother says that make-up companies do this all the time. I am unreasonably irritated, but I don't to try NEW kinds of make-up, I just want my OLD make-up back! Argh ( Read more... )

My hypnosis CD hasn't really worked for the past few nights :( I'm disappointed, but I'm also holding onto the thought that it worked all of last week, and also that every time I listen to it I NEARLY fall asleep, so it's not like it's not working at all ( Read more... )

I got the boys one of the new Futurama movies for Christmas (The Beast with a Billion Backs) and we got around to watching it today. It was teh funny! But there was little in the way of character development, which was disappointing ( Read more... )

I was in Belfast this week, and as I've been having sleeping problems I went to see a hypnotist!! It wasn't like a show or anything, it was like private practice. The hypnotist was lovely, and he put goggles and earphones on me, so there was his voice in my ear and all this flashing lights going off in my eyes. It was cool, it just put me into a ( Read more... )

This evening I decided to leave the studying and go to the cinema with Liam, Bryan and Mark, FINALLY to see Twilight. Verdict: I thought it was good film, a great cinematic experience. I was amazed at how the actual mood of the book was captured - kind of melancholy, slow-moving and brooding - and how much of it matched the images in my head. And ( Read more... )

I have now been sick for exactly two weeks, which is really annoying. What's even more annoying is that a few days ago I also caught an eye infection and possibly some sort of sinus infection just when I was starting to feel a little bit better! I hadn't been eating properly for a while, but thankfully I got some of my appetite today ( Read more... )

I never thought that I wouldn't be over my cold more than a week after I first got it, but there you go. Apparently there's now some sort of problem with my sinuses, causing first my eyes (yes, my eyes) and then my ears to ache. Meh ( Read more... )

Merry Christmas! I'm late with that, but oh well. My head has become saturated by too much TV. Christmas Eve, my father arrived at six, whereupon we began with the Simpsons and moved onto Toy Story 2. There was then a brief interlude while I iced the shortbread biscuits, after which it was time for the My Family Christmas special and the Father Ted ( Read more... )

Last night I went to see The Day the Earth Stood Still with Liam, Bryan and their friends Hepsy and Edel (who are lovely). My opinion: meh. There was all this tension and then the film kind of meandered off. And ended suddenly. When the lights went up, Liam, Bryan and I all said, 'What was THAT?' Ah, well. We were going to see Twilight, but that ( Read more... )

Oh yeah, the Strictly Come Dancing final!!! I did always kind of hope Tom and Camilla would win because Tom is so sweet (maybe that's why he was voted for too, hmm...) but I thought Rachel and Vincent deserved to win. But after Tom's last dance...OMG!! That was the best thing ever ( Read more... )
