TeeVee addict

Its getting out of control now. I am the opposite of the kind of person who says "I don't really watch tv that much, I'm not in the house that often", well I am and I do.

When I started this blog I was watching White Collar which is ah-mazing, Neal Caffrey played by Matt Bomber is a white collar criminal with expertise in art and just about everything else, who is caught by FBI agent Peter Burke, he escapes prison (its so clever the way he does it) but it caught again by Burke. Cut it short a wee bit, Neal ends up working with the FBI to catch other white collar criminals while being tagged with a 1 mile distance or something like that.

Yep, that's Neal, now you get it.

I won't say anymore because its so much better if you just watch it and I can't even imagine that you won't love it, unless you don't like good tv then you probably won't enjoy it 'cause its awesome! So many crazy things happen, the stories are always big and exciting and the icing to the delicious Costco cake is that Matt Bomber couldn't be any hotter as Caffrey.

I watched all of the series' that are on Netflix uk, think it was up to series 4. I am not going to tell you how long it took me to watch them because I would just watch one then press 'back, back, play' and the next episode was on. But...my heart just about broke when the series finished and there were no more episodes on Netflix. Now for someone who watches a lot of box set programmes like me, this has to be the worst thing ever. You don't get any warning that its about to finish so an episode will finish and I will go to press back, back, play and it will suggest other programmes for me because I have finished the series.

I love Kim, but this is exactly how I feel when a series finishes

I totally think that there should be a message that pops up on your screen before you watch the second last episode that's available to watch so as you can prepare yourself that its about to end until they add more episodes. I mean if I had warning then I would start another box set so that once the first one finished I would be gutted but no exactly heart broken because I had another one to start.

It's unreal the amount of programmes/box sets that I have watched the first few series' of and just stopped because there were no more episodes available even though I know there are more (I Google to make sure the programme isn't over for good).

This would be Dr McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy, hmm mmm I know 

This is a list of the ones that I can think of which I have started;
Army Wives
Grey's Anatomy
Vampire Diaries
White Collar
Castle
Hawaii five-0
The Mentalist
Drop Dead Diva
Blue Bloods




Don't you feel sorry for me? all those programmes above have ended on cliff hangers and I have still not seen the next episode for them. Torcher.


Damon from Vampire Diaries, played by Ian Somerhalder, there are no words...okay maybe, OHHHH

Anyway, I know it might sound boring to anyone else but I get so addicted to tv programmes and I love it (other than when I run out). Right now I am watching Suits with the hot and steamy looking lawyer Harvey Specter and I am watching Criminal Minds with my mum. I only have 4 episodes left of Suits so I am trying to make them last because I normally watch like 8 episodes at a time...I know I told you it was an addiction. 

And Harvey Specter from Suits, and man does he wear that suit

I lie in my bed with that man above, in that sexy suit...except he's in the box in my room. I think some people call the thing a tv!

 

Blether again soon, when im not under a pile of college work. 8 weeks to go.

 



When life as you know it ends

I've mentioned before that I'm a wee bit of a hopeless romantic and I get super emotional at movies and there's one movie that gets me in a puddle of my own tears every time.

Its P.S. I Love You. It is one of my favourite films and I couldn't tell you how many times I have watched it. It has all the things I love; a romantic love story, Irish men and Irish men singing and playing guitars. It is super sad and it broke my heart when I first seen it...Ok it still does but its a must watch, its a great story and the music in the movie is amazing.

Not my photos, But had to borrow them to let you see...the scene when they first meet

Added bonus to the film you get to see this dreamy man

The guy in the picture above is William, one of Jerry's buddies who plays guitar too and sings in an Irish accent, best bit...you get to see him shirtless too. He will make your heart melt.

The movie is actually based on the book written by Cecelia Ahern, I have been meaning to read the book because my sister read it after she watched the movie (kind of the wrong way around) and said that it was still a great read.

One of my favourite scenes/songs from the movie is when Jerry (Gerard Butler) sings about when he met Holly (Hilary Swank) and jumps off the stage when he spots her in the crowd and sings TO her in front of everyone and kisses her with so much passion like he would have died if he didn't kiss her right then. The song is called Galway Girl and is by Steve Earle. Follow the link and you can hear the original but check out the covers of the song as well because there are some really magic ones.

Galway Girl by Steve Earle

I don't know why I do, but every time I'm feeling kinda low or sad I watch it. My mum always asks "why do you watch it when it makes you sad?". I don't really have an answer. It doesn't make me sad because at the time I already feel that way, it doesn't make me feel better either but it comforts me. I know that sounds really weird but when I watch the movie it consumes me I guess? Oh god, that sounds even worse so dramatic but its the only way I can explain it. Its something that I concentrate on almost, which doesn't stop me from feeling sad but makes me forget why I'm sad because what happens in the movie is a lot sadder than whatever I am feeling at the time.

I hope no one is feeling judge'y while reading this because it really does sound ridiculous and I also just used the word judge'y!

I love the love that Jerry has for Holly. Although they have a sad ending to their life together their love will be forever and I want that. Not the sad ending but the love. When they first meet in Ireland they fall for each other there and then but they don't plan to see each other again until fate brings them back together in a busy pub (the Galway girl scene). It might sound typical and cheesy to other people but its exactly the kind of story I fall for, every time.

I wonder when I will meet my dream man. All I want it someone who will love me 'til the end, will write a song for me and sing it to me in a crowded bar...

Not much really.

Tell me something

I really love to read. When I was at high school, I always had a book in my bag. At break times I would go up to the top of the school where no one went, sit down and read my book for the 15 minutes I had before classes started again. Going up there and reading was like a wee escape where I could delve into the lives of the characters in my book.

My favourite book to date is called 'Tell Me Something' and its by Adele Park. Its an amazing book about a young woman, Elizabeth who falls in love with a gorgeous Italian man, Roberto.



They get married and move to Italy, But they have a few problems that really test their marriage. A foreign country, a different language and a mother in law who makes the postman feel more welcome and Elizabeth is left feeling a wee bit useless.

There are a lot more brilliant twists to the story but I won't ruin it by telling you because it is a lot better to read the book and feel as if you're living her life with them in Italy. Its romantic, funny, emotional and I couldn't put it down, buy it borrow it or read it while you're in the book store, just one of the amazing books by Adele Park.

Here's a link to the book on amazon

I've added a link to buy the book on amazon in case someone does fancy giving it a read. I have read a few of Adele Park's books including; Love Lies, Husbands and Playing Away, I liked them all but Tell me something was my favourite!

This Christmas I got a kindle paperwhite from my mom, I love it but I have only read one book on it since I got it because I don't seem to get any time to read which makes me really sad because I love to, I love when you can't put it down because you're dying to turn the next page and find out whether she gets caught or he gets the girl (in my kind of books anyway).



Its so light and small, I love it!



Oh did I mention you can get super pretty covers for them too

For anyone who loves to read but doesn't yet have a kindle I would definitely recommend it. Although I haven't used mine much yet I love it. It's so light and easy to use, I did love reading an actual book but they're heavy to carry in your handbag, they're awkward to hold when you are trying to read in bed or when you're near the end and then once you're finished with it you have to find somewhere to put it or someone to give it too. ALSO books are cheaper!

What's your favourite book? Any books that you recommend I should read?
tell me something...
See what I did there, hehe
