It's not like it's a chore or anything...

I honestly don't get why I find updating this bloody blog so difficult. I think maybe because I get so wrapped up in reading other peoples blog and muttering my opinions to myself (though not in a psycho way...) that I forget that I have an outlet. Well, here goes it again I rather suppose. Currently I'm about to have some well deserved down-time with my cat, green tea and a lovely jubbly documentary on the evolution of rooms. That actually sounds kind of boring, but it is in fact rather fascinating seeing the slow transgression of necessity based rooms evolve into what we know them a today.

In TV related news, I'm going to be updating up my drama page. Once that's done, feel free to leave me suggestions or comments on what I should/have watched! Besides dramas, I would like to get into make-up reviews and now that I have upgraded cameras my picture quality should go up rather exponentially! I'm also going to be updating the 100 things page...

I do hope this is in the slightest of ways somewhat coherent, I'm typing this up whilst enjoying "Bad Boy" by Big Bang. I cannot accurately describe how much I love that song. Out of curiosity, has anyone listened to all of TVXQ's new album? I find I'm slowly coming around to really liking slower/ballad-esque songs and, while the album has many club songs, there a few on it that are really good. Till next post!

Livin' tha thug Uni lyfe

      Now that my first semester is winding down I finally have a bit of time to myself & to blog! I've been working tirelessly to ensure that my marks are up to scratch to be able to apply for the London 2012 semester at my Uni. I'll write up the posts I promised about WWoHP + my American shenanigans in Orlando and set them to post over the next few weeks. I'll also do some more '100 things' and general update posts~ I feel like I finally have things to talk about and ideas to discuss so please stay with me :)

     Also, on the advice of my mum, I've started a new blog about all the performances I attend (I see at least one ballet every year with the occasional opera or play) entitled "The Knob blog". Yep, mum came up with that crackin' name and I made the blog 5 minutes after! I'll be seeing Romeo and Juliet this Saturday (it closes Sunday) and although I don't know how to properly review performances I'd like to not only keep a record of all the wonderful performances I get to see but also try to offer a less formal review for people who are unsure about seeing a play/opera/ballet/etc. Going to these places or even talking to my friends I realise that a lot of people my age don't even think about attending these things- and although I understand that they sometimes are rather expensive a lot of places offer incredible discounts for students. Maybe it's just me but, I think it terribly unfortunate that students don't take advantage of discounts, even if it is only once a year.

   Now that I've championed the arts (how befitting that at Uni I'm in College of Arts!) I'll leave you with a link to the new blog (I'll still be posting on here still, if that wasn't obvious) and the knowledge that I'm editing pictures in Photoshop and typing up my memories of Orlando. You guys will get that content and I will stop be lazy should probably not promise that so fervently.

Let me remind you that it is still under construction, please be gentle!


****Edit: Seen as though I just about update this blog I've decided to delete the aforementioned new blog and just post everything on this one till I get into the flow of things****

Cassi's Great American Adventure 2011

Even though I got back into Canada Thursday (the 4th) afternoon I haven't posted anything- the reason being I don't actually have any pictures with me on my camera (my dad has them all, naturally, as his camera is the nice one and he is the one that did photography at art school). I will be getting them this weekend though and will post them over the next week or so, this post is just a teaser for what's to come! By the way, dad and I had a 3 day pass to the Universal Resort and then 1 free day for whatever before we came back to Canada.

• Wizarding World of Harry Potter day one = discovering Hogsmeade and all it has to offer-including looking into the many shops and trying my first glass (plastic souvenir stein) of Butterbeer and Pumpkin juice (verdict in future post)
• Wizarding World of Harry Potter day two = walking around Hogsmeade again, meeting students from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang (and finding some fellow Whovians in the most unlikely places!!) plus more Butterbeer (guess my future verdict post has a bit of an obvious outcome)! And of course going into Hogswarts and going on the Forbidden Journey! As well as eating at the Three Broomsticks like a proper witch and trying another version of Butterbeer (and what will my verdict of this one be you wonder?)~
• Wizarding World of Harry Potter day three = Triwizard Tournament fun, hearing the Frog Choir perform, dad and I taking full advantage of the 'singles' line in Hogwarts (wait till you hear how many times we both went on the Forbidden Journey!), seeing a wand demonstration at Olivanders and nearing the most insane roller coaster in the HP section- the Dragon Challenge
• Visiting the Kennedy Space Center (centre centre centre) and seeing the Star Trek exhibit

Well, that's what will be coming to this blog in the next week, hope you'll stay tuned! Now I'm off to take my dog for a walk and then enjoy a peach, read some blogs and try to come up a plot for a radio play I'd like to put together.
