Monsters, Morals and Jamie Campbell Bower

Hello! 

So I managed to start the week well by going to see Monsters University ahora con mi Amiga (sometimes I miss Spanish, it's so strange not going to a Spanish speaking country this summer the closest to abroad I'm getting is Devon!) it was amazing like so good and it all linked perfectly with the original Monsters Inc. seamlessly. Half way through however me and my friend were wondering what the moral to this Disney-Pixar wonder was, it seemed at one point to be that "life is unfair and not everything is theory" which seemed a little demotivating for school kids but it turned out to be that if things don't go to plan initially, don't give up which may be pretty relevant to me and people my age in general come results day! Most importantly it said not to give up on your dreams (because we all love a good Disney cliché right?) Also the blue Umbrella Short? AMAZE!

After the movie and asking a ticket person to take our picture outside the cardboard Monsters University we went to Number One Bead Shop as my friend is into Jewellery making beading and she picked up some well beads as you might guess amongst other things and everything in there was so pretty it's basically full of strings of the most beautiful beads and they are just the most lovely things ever!

Then after a while of shopping we found ourselves in Waterstones and I was telling my friend about City of Bones which I am reading at the moment. Then we saw the cover with the movie characters on and this was said of Jamie Campbell Bower:

Me: Just look at His cheekbones! He has such amazing cheekbones!

R: Yeah, Its good when Boys have cheekbones...

 It cannot be denied.

Finally we checked for Royal Baby updates (nada) and went to Cookie Shake where I branched out from my usual Galaxy Cookie Crumble and got the Smarties Shake, both are lovely might I add! I have also decided that from this day forward, until the end of 2013, I will not get the same cookie Shake twice. I assure you this will not be like my McDonalds Boycott and I will stick to this like a Stamp to a letter ,like birds on a feather, We'll stick together! (sister act reference intended...)
 
 Hope your Monday wasn't too much of a drag! What did you get up to today?

Foxs, Puns and Jolly Good Fun...

Hello!! 

So I have had a fab Thursday today going shopping with Mis Amigas and picking up this little beauty from Token House in Town...

Meet Socks (because socks rhymes with Fox, you like?) 

Unfortunately for us Town was packed with University graduates (well done y'all! You made it through!) which meant that we couldn't go to Pizza Hut as planned because the line to be served was out the door! So we went to McDonalds (I know, but they did get my order right at this branch) and had an estimated 600 calorie lunch *faints.* We then went back to my friends for good old fashioned orange squash and a good old bit of Wii Party

Then home and straight out again for a lovely few hours playing just dance with 18 seven to ten year olds at Brownies (I'm a leader since I am older than 10, unfortunately...)  we had a BBQ! This probably wasn't the best place for it in hindsight though...

Whoops! But nothing exploded luckily ,mind you me and my friend did set fire to our dampers so we had to rinse them in a sink. I think it's fair to say that our dampers were the dampest (if you'll pardon the pun...) 

We topped the night off with a good time capsule burial and a game of Chubby bunny (what else can you do with leftover marshmallows?) our winner fit 7 in! I however didn't participate under the grounds of vegetarianism and finally played a good old fashioned game of Duck Duck Goose with a 4 year old. Jolly good fun! 

But if your Thursday was less exciting, just think the weekend is close. But if that's not enough for you: 

Punny Koalas. J'ai Fin. 

Happy Thursday!

Dispicable Me

 

Hello!

Here

So I love the kids film Despicable Me and my brother is actually going to see it for his friend's birthday party tomorrow (betrayed doesn't even begin to cover it) and I was talking to him about it today and it was kind of a funny conversation...

Me: I love Despicable Me, I just want to pick up the Minions and hug them!

11 year old Brother: Yeah but it's a bit Paedo...

Me: What? No it's not...

(pause)

Me: Do even know what that word means?

Brother: yeah...

Me: What then?

Brother:...

Me: You don't know, do you? 

Brother: No...

Me: Where did you learn that word anyway, school?

Brother: What word?

Me: You know what word...

Brother: Well...What does it mean?

Me: Ask Mum.

 

I have no idea if he asked Mum or not but I just love it when this kind of thing happens and he says a word he doesn't understand! It probably won't happen anymore when he starts secondary school in September but It makes me laugh all the same!

Now if you'll excuse me I need to force ask someone to go and see Despicable Me 2 with me any offers?

Ryan Gosling

Hello!

So today my friend told me about these vine videos to do with Ryan Gosling (She had me from Gosling,) and how they were clips from movies he's in and then this spoon of cereal comes along and he reacts to it "refusing" to eat it. These are the best I could find to put up here from YouTube:

 

It's been out since mid-May so  hands up I'm late to the party with this one but all the same Ryan McHenry (who made the vines) I applaud you! Do I prefer this meme to my all time favourite Feminist Ryan Gosling Meme?

 

Here

Eh, perhaps not, my current obsession with love for the Feminist Ryan Gosling is hard for anything else to compete with but I still had a good giggle at the "Ryan Gosling Won't Eat His Cereal" Vines.

On the topic of Ryan Gosling one of my Bestie Amigas (who clearly knows Me far too well) got me this card for my birthday last week along with the Feminist Ryan Gosling book which I love to pieces! So when I can't sleep at night I just find myself flicking though pictures of Mr Gosling learning a bit of Feminist theory as I go! Who needs sleep right?
