Fa la la la la la la la la

Well Christmas has been as gone as it often does. In fact I've noticed over the years that It always does that, one day its here and the next its gone. All that anticipation and then one day. It is an exceptionally merry day though...

I totally went to see megamind, hence the picture. It's a brilliant film. The most impressive thing being the characters. Brilliant.

New year rapidly approaches and of course that means reflecting on the year gone and making promises that will not be kept in the year to come.

Who's excited eh?

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...

Don't look at me like that, it is. Everywhere I go infact. Christmas Christmas Christmas is all im seeing at the moment and a large part of me full on loves that. Christmas is a merry time when bright colours are accepted, glitter is common place and sparkle is everywhere. What in that recipe is not to love?

I recently bought a Trilogy of the Aladdin films, yes, thats right, there WERE three and oh my they are truly brilliant. You think, nah they cant be, but they are. Robin Williams obviously makes them so the Second one isnt great, but the other two, more gags than a hostage situation.

I am playing Bruno in a production of Strictly Christmas. What a laugh. Italian accents ahoy. I can hardly wait.

Making all the Music he can make

My song quote title for this particular blog is from that Dull Rodgers and Hammerstein show, South pacific, why I hear you ask? well the answer is simple, I am in Theatre 2000's production of it this week and I cannot get that particular song out of my head which is rather upsetting, but then again I do rather like it so it's all good.

Once again it has been a great length of time since last i blogged, and I do feel guilty, I truly do, but then i remember no-one is reading it. There is however that eternal question, If I blogged More would more people bother to read it. I answer, for the sake of my conscience, no.

It has however been all go since last I blogged, things have been happening in the news (I know, shocking huh?). The most exciting as far as I am concerned is the news of the Royal Wedding, got to love a cheeky Royal wedding thats what I say. Gloom Gloom Gloom Gloom, BAM, royal wedding and your laughing. The most depressing piece of news has got to be the student fees rise. Protests are being arranged by the second, one has already happened and was fine apart from a slight destructive tinge when some people attacked Milbank house. There is another protest lined up for tomorrow, it will be interesting to see what happens.

Cambridge have given me an interview date. Always a terrifying moment. I have been doing some TSA practice as well as looked at some Step papers, and Wow, they are hard work, the TSA far less than the STEP I have to say.

And now, almost as soon as I have started i must dash off to a dress rehearsal, I hope I haven't been too boring, though I fear I hope in vein.

Bang Bang, He shot me down...

Yeah thats right, Its an apprentice commentary blog, whos excited?

So this episode is brilliantly called "Bangers" and shock horror its linked to Sausages. Quite frankly I am excited! The twist to the beginning of this episode is the fact that they are starting in the middle of the night, *gasp*.

I had forgotten that Margaret had left the program, my world actually crashed when I remembered. Team Names are chosen, (Apollo is an appalling name, he was a man and womaniser) then team captains are chosen with some hefty banging on the table that I cannot pretend didn't amuse me greatly.

I keep seeing the words Lord Sugar appear on my screen, and I say to myself "Who is this Lord chap" what is he doing on the apprentice and then I remember and all is good in the world.

Nick is a beautiful human being, irritated by the bitchiness he speaks his mind. I find there is something wonderful about 16 supposedly educated people arguing about sausages.

What is going on with this girl with the glasses. she keeps talking, and I keep zoning out, so I keep losing any point she may or may not have made.

So the Butchers are robbing the Candidates, I have never been more proud of Butchers, I feel the Baker and Candlestick maker have lost out to their comrade.

There is some serious power play going on in both teams, in the guys team testosterone is flying around the room, if I was to enter that room right now I would definitely be needing a mask. If they lose crazy non-Margaret woman will take them to the cleaners.

May I add that Nick looks beautiful in a hairnet, and blonde girl far less so. Non-Margaret is trying far to hard to work the look.

The mens team are just faffing, we should proably send them to the commonwelth games as the faffing team.

Voice over man makes a comical joke "Not a sausage" and the men are shouting "Its too hard" which is just a comical thing to hear to be honest.

So the Mens team leader comically said that it went well and it was due to the fact that people kept calm and he kept calm. NOTHING WAS CALM!

Selling is beginning, so many sausage innuendo, so little time. Now the men have gone door to door, it isnt the bloody yellow pages, they are shopping.

Right the girls have hunted out a chef, lets face it he is a attractive and tehy are all flirting like mad.

So to summarise the selling process, FAFF FAFF FAFF. Thats all really, onward to the board room.

This is the bit I actually dislike commenting on, because though interesting to watch it is very hard to chat about in an interesting way. The boys lost, but by a surprisingly small amount. They boys in the boardroom act "like a bunch of old washer woman". Lots of chat, blah blah, argue argue, Stuart gets a bit gobby, we wait to hear who will be fired.

Team leader Dan is out. Another year, another team leader in the first task is out.

Lord Sugars search for his apprentice has begun.

Goodbye 12, Goodbye 13....

Well its been a busy old time I must say. The dreaded UCAS deadline draws ever closer and with it the need for a decent personal statement. Which is Damned near impossible for me to produce it would seem. Every time I try and write it I just end up sounding either like Marvin for the hitchikers guide to the galaxy or every other monotone character ever. I can't instantly think of one right now. It will come to me I'm sure.

This week marked the departure of David. We had a farewell meal and it was all very lovely and now he has gone to warwick and I have to say life, or more to the point theatre 2000 shows without him.are going to be very odd. For as long as we have been doing berties shows David and I have sat and laughed together and now I feel quite alone. It's very bizarre. I may have to demand his return.

Good concert with the choir yesterday at the poole lighthouse. Not many people attended but the put that down to the lack of advertising and marketing rather than the popularity of the choirs involved which I am thankful for. The Maestro sang a lovely duet also which was lovely to listen to.

Off to York this week. To look at the university. It's the last one I have to see. Relief fills me. The process will soon be over!

Get ready everybody 'cos here we go...

Yeah thats right, Im blogging two days in a row after not blogging for the entirety of August. Could it get any more thrilling? I thought not...

Today was one of those days that were just mediocre and then BAM S Club 7 is playing in the cafe, singing along then of course HAD to happen, followed quite quickly by dancing. Whats not to love? It was a brilliant moment in my life.

From there on in it just gets better, made brownies at Hid's for Yaz's birthday and then I caught up on the Inbetweeners, yeah, Im exciting.

Now however Im just listening to a merry mixture of S Club (of course), Spice Girls, Busted and McFly... and I wonder why I'm Single

Turned off Gardeners Question Time...

Well I'm back, blogging again after another considerable length of time, one day I'll become a blogging regular, just maybe not today.

Time has positively flown by since last I blogged, America was rather fabulous. Disney had to be a highlight, definitely met Mickey Mouse which was rather amazing. Had an amazing time, San Diego was brilliant, fun filled days and Disney films in the evening, whats not to love?

Back to the studying now. Oh will the joys never end. However with it studying brings the birthday season, including my own, and of course... Panto. Beauty and the Beast is the HCP panto of choice this year. What a laugh. Started rehearsals this very day. Giggles all around.

UCAS is quite merrily becoming the bane of my life. I just casually walk down a corridor and BAM I see a poster about Uni and I remember that I have a personal statement to write. UCAS just taunts me with my imperfections and I cannot say I am amused.

Currently having repetitive dreams about my death, its quite a pickle, but Im sure that they will sort themselves out.

Till we meet again oh Blog of Bloggington.
