Is it just me, or did it just get really cold?

Brrr.

Its insane how cold its gotten over the past few weeks! Mental!

I never remember where I was up to on my previous blog, apart from the fact that it was mostly about the name of the business me and my sister are setting up. Which is sorted. We have a name. Although its not the name I wanted, I just thought best go with it, because I couldn't come up with anything else. So its all sorted. And my certificate came through today, confirming I am a make up artist. 5 months or so later. Jeez. Talk about waiting around for a piece of paper. But is all good, now all I need to do it get the insurance sorted and I may possibly register with Mac. Once I get back into doing makeup again, as I haven't had as much time as I would have liked to practise, I will probably start up a new blog page (another? I know... I just can't help it), to show off pictures... (I'm still undecided about doing this though... good job I no longer have to make my own decisions)


October was a great month by the by... Halloween. Woo. I put on such a good party. I never like hosting anything because the event is never as good as I imagine it will be. Too much pressure to be good usually means I can't enjoy. But this time it worked out so well and it was better than I thought it would be! Picture of me in my outfit below:


Well... not a full picture. But that's basically it. Me as Alice in Wonderland. Although I'm sure Alice didn't drink this drink. If I recall... was part of the punch I made diluted with gin. Why do I do it?? In case you are wondering. The clown looking thing in the back ground is my boyfriend... clowns!! I'm sure he did it just to freak me out. Nasty!!!



Things have been going quite well recently. Although I do have the urge to quit my job. My brother went to Australia a few months ago for travelling/ working fun. And so I don't have a brother around. However, one of my brothers friends works with me, and for a while he was my surrogate little brother (depressing when a little brother is 21 years old...). But now HE has up and left me to go to Australia. So I'm feeling all itchy feet'ed to start something new, or just do something fun. As per usual. But I never know what! That's my life I guess!!!


I haven't been to the cinema that much this past month... I did go and see An American Werewolf in London on the 30th of October at the cinema and it was brilliant! On the big screen!!! I love it when the cinema does a classic movie every once in a while, because you don't get stupid kids sitting in the row in front of you being loud and annoying! Mainly because the only people who go and watch these things are fans of the film already. If that makes sense?


I'll tell you what I did see though. Jennifer's Body. I don't know why I had any kind of hope for it being a good film, because it was the same writer as Juno (Overrated), but it really fell flat on its face. And it wasn't even Megan Fox who ruined it. She wasn't that bad... really! But its just the script. And the lingo. Why this woman who writes these things thinks she has to come up with slang words that no one would ever use is beyond me. I can only imagine she is hoping one of these lame, idiotic phrases or words is going to catch on and do what the word 'fugly' did for Mean Girls. But it really ain't gonna happen! Ranting. Always ranting!

I am already excited about the New Moon movie. I am not watching any of the trailers though, because they aren't teasers any more, they are **spoilers**. And I hate spoilers. So I have literally been sitting in the cinema with my eyes closed, hands over ears, humming. Just so I don't see or hear anything that would ruin the film for me. I'm a huge fan. Although not a band wagon fan. I liked it before the movie. (yeah, I said it!) Which is why I seriously can't go to see it in the first 2 weeks, because sitting next to annoying girls throughout the film would only damage my calm. And my calm is the only thing that keeps me from smashing the room up sometimes.


I'll leave you with no thoughts or anything. Although... I strongly urge you to watch Let The Right One In if you like vampire movies. It totally reinvents the genre if you ask me. Its subtitled, but don't let that put you off. Definitely one of the top 3 films that's been out this year.



Toodles!

Congratulations Sam, on the new business! I'm sure you'll make a great artist. With me it's just rub it in and hope for the best so a few tips now and then might be handy..!

You made a naturally beautiful Alice at Halloween. My older son went as a gynaecologist to his! God knows what the conversations were about! I don't wanna know! My younger son went as a Jester (which gimme the creeps) so I know how you must have felt about the clowns!

Everyone seems to be buggering off to Australia right now. I'd love to go myself but I'd need to go in the summer - when it's cold!

And I adore vampire films. I'll take a note of the title and seek it out. I love subtitled films. One Missed Call is my fave so far (Japanese) and I'm assuming you've seen it.... but nothing beats a good old nip on the neck!

Nice to see you back, Sam! Good luck in your new job!
