When the snow melts...

Happy new year one and all!

Ha ha! I bet you all thought I'd given up doing this blog, you all thought I'd lost motivation and had nothing to say!

Well, Christmas and Yule kinda got in the way and having no internet access at home kinda puts a spanner in the works, what with this being an internet blog and all...

I, like many of you, came into 2010 with good intentions of writing more often, blogging more often and generally pulling my finger out and getting on with stuff. And then came the new XBox games and lots of opportunities to go to the cinema for free... Also in the background I was deciding that I wanted to broaden the horizons of this blog and talk about movies, books, music and games more...

Last year one of my intelligent and beautiful friends, fellow Cheeseminter Georgie made an excellent new years resolution to see a new film, unseen classics or new movie, once a week - she achieved this and passed her target sometime during September I think. As I and the husband find it hard to get to the cinema due to work shifts and responsibilities I thought this would be an excellent resolution to adopt.

So far this year I've seen The Princess and the Frog, (Disney, not as good as their best but still enjoyable 6/10), Nowhere Boy, (the origins of John Lennon, genius and moving 7/10) and Up in the Air, (Clooney at his best with a great script and poignant humour 8/10).

I'll update the books read anytime soon... Maybe when we have home internet again.

And I'm working on some wordier posts... I promise.
