Busy busy busy! Ever since I started working on Thursdays, I just can't seem to find enough time to spend on all my hobbies. It's nice to have that extra bit of money for my upcoming studies in September (still haven't decided what exactly, but narrowed it down a bit), but so little time left to spend gaming, watching my fave series/movies and being creative. Not to mention the chores that need to be done as well...
To ReadGuardians of Childhood Trilogy - William Joyce
Artemis Fowl - Eoin Colfer
Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell
Les Miserables - Victor Hugo
I really got way too much to read and am way too restless as well to sit down and read atm, due to the constant interrupts. As a result I tend to end up reading fanfics instead. Guess I should simply turn off the pc earlier and schedule some reading time in the evening or something =P
To WatchDragons: Riders of Berk (8/13)
Person of Interest (0/TBA)
Various movies for the 2nd time
Currently watching
Les Miserables for the 2nd time while typing this post. I may have been a naughty Maru and downloaded it because I couldn't wait for the Bluray and because it's a bloody 1,5 hour trip to one of the few cinemas that actually shows it. I have seen it first in the cinema tho and I loved it! Whom would have thought that Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe could sing like that? I may have teared up a couple of times, especially in the end. Kudos also to Anne Hathaway with her lovely performance of
I Dreamed a Dream and Sacha Baron Cohen for his part as Thénardier. I never expected him to perform so nicely in more recent movies, especially after playing in such lame ones like
Borat and
Brüno. I loved his role as the Station Inspector in
Hugo and now he does it again. Also, poor Éponine, I felt so bad for her. I could on and on about it, might make a separate entry on Les Mis in the future.
As for
Person of Interest, downloading the first season to see if it's any good (no Bluray/Dvd out yet here), the story sounds interesting and people seem to be quite positive about it, so who knows. I really should watch more of
Eureka and finally start watching
Once Upon a Time as well...I need more time!
To CreateDoodles for cosplay, got some ideas floating around
Practicing again with my Wacom tablet (now that I actually got space for the drivers on my pc)
Cooking, I would love to find some more healthy versions of my fave foodstuffs.
Yush! The muse has poked me with ideas after a Skype session with
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aien_hime about cosplay ideas. Should really fix those voice input issues on my pc so I don't need to use the tablet to voice chat. I got the drivers working now, but seems the mike plug at the front of my pc is broken, so need to find a different one at the back, which is terrible to find in the semi-dark -_-
And yep, cooking. I love certain foodstuffs, such as paëlla, but the ones we eat tend to be full of E number/food additives. It would be such an improvement if I could create a similar version with more natural ingredients, spices of my own choice. Sadly so far the recipes we (me and mom) have tried just don't have the same lovely taste as the original one. But we'll keep trying!
Meanwhile, I have spend 1,5 hours typing this entry, so I better call it a day now. I'll try to update faster next time, but no promises =P
