Top 10 Favourite Bits Of 2010

Since everybody seems to be putting out their lists before 2010 goes out the door, I thought I'd make my own little list too. This decade was pretty eventful for me, seeing as I have lived it, but 2010 believe it or not is pretty lukewarm for me. I don't know what it is, maybe I've gotten myself stuck in a rut or something? Nevertheless, here are some of my highlights.

10. Entering the Gateway to Senescence. I turned 21 this year. Big Woop! To people in America, it is such a big deal because its the legal age. For the most part they celebrate it because they can now legally drink and maybe pole-dance for a living, but for me it wasn't that big of a deal. Sure I had the massive party. I also had one for my 18th birthday, and every year following that. I always felt as though I had peaked early with the whole clubbing/partying/boozing scene that 21 years allow you to abuse. All the same, it is a rite of passage and I have passed. Woopeeeeeeh!

Burlesque: The Review


When I first heard that Christina was scheduled to do her first motion picture, I peed my pants. When I heard that it was a musical film, I hyperventilated in a paperbag. When I heard that she was starring alongside Cher, I died and gone to Jack McFarlan's heaven. It was just a genius pairing isn't it? Of course I threw a little hissy fit when I found out that it was due out in the UK mid-December, which meant that when it came out on Thanksgiving, I had a month to wait for it and it was exasperating. Fast forward to today, when I finally got to see Burlesque with my friend Jess, it felt as though my Christmas was complete. The snow did not put a damper on my mood. In fact, it more like overcoming nature's hurdle and when I did make it to the cinema, nothing could get me down. Nobody or nothing stands between me and Christina. Not even muddy slush.
