Degree in Procrastination anyone?

• BREAKING BAD
• BROOKLYN NINE-NINE
• DEXTER
• FRESH MEAT The most accurate portrayal of all freshers everywhere.
• GAME OF THRONES
• LES REVENANTS Great for all those learning French, and not just some rubbish soap opera that your GCSE teacher recommends!
• LUTHER I FECKING LOVE IDRIS ELBA
• MISFITS When Robert Sheehan left, I was out.
• MOCK THE WEEK
• ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK The moment when tampons were used to make headpieces for the Christmas show in season 2 is hilarious.
• PRETTY LITTLE LIARS With the knowledge that this show is into its sixth series and still going, I don't think I can carry out this rigmarole any longer than series 3.
• PRISON BREAK Sucre is my Spanish spice for life.
• RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE
• THE FALL Way better than 50 shades.
• TOP BOY
• 90210

The next series I'm planning on watching include Gossip Girl, Peaky Blinders and literally all of the TED talks episodes. But please do tell me your faves and I'll definitely add them to my ever growing list!

Girls

The brand spanking new second series of Girls began today and I am ecstatic, or something along the lines of extremely happy. The first series saw Hannah, an aspiring writer living in Brooklyn, navigate herself through the ins and outs of her and her friends everyday and often obscure dilemmas. Accompanied by her friends Marnie, Jessa and Shoshana, she attempts to unravel the unpredictable character that is her 'boyfriend' Adam. He is fucking hilarious. He is so completely incompetent and offbeat, like ridiculously offbeat, and is played perfectly by Adam Driver.
Lena Dunham, who plays Hannah and is head writer of the show, displays the prefect comic timing and writes about proper girl issues, not just showing glamourousness as in shows like Gossip Girl. And it's not like the obvious slapstick comedy, it's the kind of hidden comedy that I love.
Also, the show has just won a Golden Globe for 'Series, Musical or Comedy' and Lena won 'Actress, Musical or Comedy'. GET IN.
The soundtrack is awesome too.

OMG HI!

Heeeere's Mollie.
How long has it been?! Since I've been gone, it has been pretty hectic...hence why I've been gone. I turned 17 at the beginning of December, had too much revision / school stuff to do and who can forget Christmas? I know, it's no excuse really, I hang my head in shame. I guess this is a bit of an update and a catch-up post.

So for ma burffday I didn't really have any celebration but I treated myself to a new piercing and got a ticket for Boardmasters WHICH I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED ABOUT. It's in Cornwall and last year Rudimental played there so I have my fingers crossed that they do this year too! For Christmas I was delighted to get a new digital piano. I've paid my dues with an electric keyboard for five years now so you can't say I haven't earned it. I was considering getting a new phone but, in the long term, a piano is much less transient than the phone which would be replaced within twelve months. Also, to improve my Francais, I received the book of Les Miserables, accompanied by the entertainment of My Week With Marilyn DVD just so I can imagine Eddie Redmayne as Marius in the film adaptation that I cannot wait for.

Not much else has happened other than I watched my boxset of the Harry Potter series and fell slightly more in love with Rupert Grint. Oh! Did you see the Victoria's Secret fashion show? I love seeing all the gorgeous sequinned lingerie, and obviously the models. My favourite is Candice but British favourite Cara Delvingne made an appearance this year too! I don't think there is any young girl who doesn't wish she could walk that catwalk one day. I loved Bruno Mars singing 'Young Girls' and Rihanna performing 'Fresh Off The Runway'.

James Arthur

James Arthur is my favourite X Factor contestant this year by far. His amazing rendition of I Can't Make You Love Me by Bonnie Raitt at the judges houses stage (how suave was Ne-Yo looking by the way) was so incredible. James evoked such passion through his throaty tone, reinventing the delicate song. I am really looking forward to what he has to offer in tonight's live show. Plus, I'm a sucker for tattoos and blue eyes.

My other favourites include Jahmene, he's such a cutie, and Times Red...so I'm hoping they're voted in as a wildcard tonight. I do love a good reality tv show.

Who are your favourite contestants so far?

Saved By The Bell

A little post dedicated to reminiscing upon one of my most prominent memory of childhood tv shows, Saved By The Bell:

 

Ah, these images bring back a few memories of myself as a young girl sat right in front of the tv screen thinking i was much more mature than my seven years, watching the happenings at Bayside High.

I remember Saved By The Bell being my absolute favourite tv show. Although i was born two years after it had finished filming, the show was still going strong into the late 90s. Zack's looks never grew old. I think the eclectic mix of characters and lust to go to an American high school was what interested me...that and the amazing 80's style clothing that featured many zig zag prints and high waisted trousers.

There was a character that everyone could relate to; whether it was the nerdy intellect of Screech, Kelly Kapowski's it-girl looks, the classic macho torso of A.C. Slater, Jessie's independant personality, Lisa's dreams of going into the fashion industry or, the factor that kept me engaged, the charming smile of Zack. It was such a  perfect cast. Personally, i always loved tuning in to see what Kelly wore, she had the most darling outfits and her hair was so lucious with the classic 80s blowdry.

The dynamics between the six friends was such a great balance. There was a theme of matchmaking throughout the show; the cheeky troublemaker Zac was continually flirting with the sweet character of Kelly, Screech endured his tumultuous relationship with Lisa with light hearted conflict based on his geeky appearance, and Kelly, although calling him a 'pig' numerous times, bonded with Slater to make an adorable couple.

Obviously there are certain episodes that i remember more than others. For example, i won't forget the moment when a dance-off took place at the groups local hangout spot, The Max, in which Lisa made Screech's dreams come true by being his dance partner. Aww. I always had a soft spot for Screech. Also, i can recollect myself watching the tv film that was shot when the gang went to work at a hotel resort in Hawaii over and over again.

Gosh, i need to somehow get my hands on the boxset.
