things i loved in 2009

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 18:21:59 GMT

2009 was hectic with work and study and more work and then more study. To make up for the lack of posts I have decided to do a little picspam of some of the things I loved in 2009... and also because you need another distraction when you are supposed to be working on an assignment...

The Wire

Definitely in my top 3 tv shows of all time (don't make me choose!) I watched the whole thing on dvd at the start of the year. It was amazing, I can't do it justice in a couple of lines. Believe the hype, if you haven't watched it - what are you waiting for?!

Curb Your Enthusiasm

I can't get enough of this show, it kills me. Larry David is a genius. We quote this show constantly, it has added so many words to my vernacular. What can I say? It's pretty... pretty... pretty good!

True Blood

Now I have only seen season 1 so far, but it was great, very entertaining. I love dark humour and the characters are am intriguing bunch. Also Sookie is a great name and her perfect ponytail fascinates me.

Californication

Another great season of Californication. The season finale was epic - I cried twice and this rarely happens to me with tv shows. Of course I'm now anxious about what season 4 will hold. I'm hoping it's going to be darker, more like the first season.

Up

It's on practically everyone's list for this year. How could it not be? Visually stunning, sweet and also very touching in places.

The Wrestler

I saw this at the cinema in January. Best film I saw all year. An amazing performance from Mickey Rourke, I would have loved to have seen him get the Oscar for it. The father/daughter scenes were really touching.

Public Enemies

Now I know I'm in the minority, but I thought this was excellent. Gorgeous soundtrack too.

Watchmen

I went into this with no prior knowledge, no expectations and I absolutely loved it. Gorgeous!

New York City

My personal highlight of 2009 was my trip to NYC. I have wanted to visit for as long as I can remember. We went in November and had the best time. It was everything I expected and more, so much more! I can't wait to go back, there is so much more I want to see and do there. It felt like we only caught a glimpse!

Hope 2010 is a fantastic year for all!

Still alive

It makes me feel sad that I haven't updated since January. In my defence RL has been very busy. Anyway here are some icons I made a while ago but never got round to posting. Hopefully some new XF and Californication icons to come soon.

How awesome was Lost? I cannot wait for next season! I also have icons of POTC3 which I thought was a very disappointing movie, but it still begged to be iconed. And a few icons from the wonderful Pan's Labyrinth which I made a while ago and never got around to posting. Enjoy! :)
