100 Days, 100 Films Challenge 

Two weeks ago Lotti came up with this bright idea. She calls me up and say "I've got it, we (notice the 'we' before I even know what going on), we are going to do 100 film in 100 days". Now the inspiration for this little challenge is from our good friend Suzy. Recently she has become a prolific blogger I highly recommend you check it out here. One of the features of her blog is The Book Challenge where Suzy is attempting to read the BBC’s top 100 book list in 18 months, mental. 

So in a similar vain Lotti's plan is for us to watch IMDB's top 100 movies in 100 days. I suspect Lotti didn't think this through before committing to this, most of the films on there are more suited to me than her lol. We will be keeping track of where we are up to here on her blog where she will cross of each film as we see them. We started the challenge on 8th October so that means we have until 15th January 2012 to get them all done. Piece of cake right? Everyone loves to watch movie? Erm, so far we are 15 days in and only 6 movies are off the list, 3 of which we watched today, humm something tells me this isn't gonna be as simple as it sounds???

So that's the challenge, as I said earlier we are already into the challenge. We're both planning to do a little review was we tick another film off the list so bellow I've done just that to bring me up-to-date.

Batman: Dark Knight (2008)

What an awesome choice to kick off a marathon of a task! Man I have forgotten what an great film this is, no wonder it made the top 100. Heath Ledger just steels the show with his performance. Because I've already seen Dark Knight a few times I found it easier to appreciate the nuances Heath puts into his character there's a word on the tip of my tongue to describe it but it's alluding me right now it's not genius or inspired but it's along them lines. I do have one grip about the film and i'm sad to say it's with the main character himself Batman! You know what i'm going to say but if I don't mention it I'll seem like a closed minded fan boy. It's his 'Batman' voice, that really bad attempt at disguising his voice by making it sound like he's doing a lame Jack Ass stunt. I found it really hard to take him seriously, that voice is very distracting. Let's all pray that he drops it for The Dark Knight Rises

Giving this bad boy 5/5  

The Matrix (1999)

Believe it or not The Matrix was release in 1999, that about 12 years ago and I still think it hold up as a kick ass stylish movie. I found it as, if not more, entertaining as the 1st time I watched it. (*spoiler alert*) The final scene where Neo finally realises he's the one and kick Smith's ass still has me as giddy as a little school boy. There's been a common theme I've been finding whilst doing this challenge, most of the films on the list i've already seen before but this time around I'm noticing details and subtle moments that I've never noticed. The Matrix being no exception I spotted loads of little nuggets of hidden clues which had me even more enthrawled than before. 

5/5 for this one too, very entertaining, great action scenes and an awesome concept.

Some Like It Hot (1959)

Made In 1959 staring Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon the film is set in America during prohibition. The plot is 2 band members witness and Mob boss killing an informant. On the run from Mob Boss 'Spatz' (what a name) they cook up a plan to hide by dressing up as two ladies and join an all women's band who happended to be booked on the next train out of dodge. It's basically White Chicks means Nuns on the Run. 

It's fair to say that hitting the play button on this little antique I wasn't exactly reaching for my popcorn in excited anticipation of the upcoming performance. Having said that I was holding out hope, having seen some of his other films, that Tony Curtis would make this a somewhat entertaining experience. He didn't disappoint. I found the film amusing to watch, very funny in places but a little drawn out in others.

Overall not a waste of time glad i've seen it but doubt i'll revisit 3/5

Wall-E (2008)

Now who doesn't love this movie? if you answered no then your dead inside, just sayin'. I've only watched this once before but it's defiantly up there as my favourite Pixar film. It has the whole package, great story, visually looks stunning, funny and loveable characters all the goodness Pixar are know for. If you haven't seen it you need it in your life.

Easy 5/5 for me

 

Back to the Future (1985)

Don't think I've seen this bad boy since I was in my early twenties (just a few years ago) Watching it was like being a kid again, good times. Think I enjoyed watching Lotti's reaction more than watching the film it's self. We had a good time watching, made me remember the time back in the day I wanted a Delorean time machine so much I made one out of Lego, hehe. 

Everyone's seen this so no in depth review needed i'm sure you'll agree. Needless to say I enjoyed watching this as always enormously entertaining. 

HELLO McFLY... easy 4/5. Right i'm off to play with the time circuit replica app for the iphone I found whilst searching for an image for this post :)... peace out

Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

What a classic, Harrison Ford showing how to be a true man. If you not seen this jem of a classic adventure then you've been missing out. Crazy Nazi German's trying to beat Indy to the Ark of the Covenant by solving ancient clues and battling spiders and snakes. Lara Croft learnt everything she knows from these 'educational' movies.

It's Harrison Ford, It's Indiana, its 5/5

 

 Well that bring me just about where we are, don't forget check out the list over on Laura's blog if your interested in the challenge or wanna see where we are up to. We are both planning to write review on what we see to check her review over there to. Mine will be on this blog under the tag 100films/100days.

Wish us luck

Sunday catchup

I love having Sundays off. My Sundays do tend to have chilled out/relaxed vibe and today has been no exceptions despite involving a trip to the gym. I know I've been A.W.O.L on this blog but work is taking up all my time so here's an update on what been occurring whilst I have a rare minute.

IOS 5.0

1st off was the ISO5.0 release, I know I promised a full review of it but like I said i'm struggling to find free time. However I will say I'm very pleased with the new offering. I think it has to be the most substantial update since the release of the app store. Favourite feature has to be the new notification centre, no more interruptions, and the reminders app essential for forgetful me. I, like a few people, had issues upgrading but that's what you get for doing it literally minutes after the update was released. After fighting iTunes for 2 days I got up and running, 1st world problem hey?

Gym it up

In other big news, not so big if you follow me on twitter,  I've joined a gym with her in doors. It's actually a leisure centre but the facilities are modern. It's good to be back, yes I was a gym member once before. I'm really getting into it. I did a goal setting session earlier this week, something i've never done before, it good having a goal to work towards with guidance from someone who actually (i hope) knows what they are talking about. 1st session was yesterday it was hard going at parts but at least it felt like I was making a difference.

New addition

This week we had a new addition to the family. After my goal setting session as mentioned earlier I decided to take a quick swim after the appointment to cool down, on the way home I called Lotti to see if she wanted anything from my planned detor to Sainsburrys. When she answered the phone she told me that my brother was here, then in an awkward tone said I should come home 1st before I go to the shop. I knew right then what I would find when I got home. This guy...

 My brother ain't silly he just turned up on the door step with him said said "well I can take him back if you want?" as if that was ever gonna be an option. 

Here a few more photo's for all you cat lovers

 Here he is watching Castle with me, turns out he like his TV

He also has the making of my new wingman in COD

As you can see he like his tech, especially the Macbook, here a photo of him as I write this very post

Ok that's enough kitten tomfoolery although his name is up for debate. We want it to be geeky but not sad. Favourites are Google, Jobs (after Steve), Shelden & O'Malley. Cast your vote in the comments or offer a sugestion for something else. 

Right gonna cut off here, got another post to write i've been putting, there a teaser for you lol. Before I go here a little song i've listening loads too, see if you like it.

Peace out

What a week

Wow, what a week it's been. So much happening and no time to blog. Work has had me tied up all this week which delayed me making a very important post. I think Lotti is gonna forget what I look like soon. So time being precious i'll try to keep it short but there were few things I saw to talk about in between one of the longest weeks of work ever. 

Swimming 

Me n Lotti made our 1st visit to the gym we joined last week. We just used the pool. It's a public pool which might turn out to be a pain in the ass. People who go aren't really serious swimmers or even aware of other people in the bloody pool! It isn't hard is it? I stick to my lane and you stick to yours. Nope, for some reason they feel they have the right to swim in my lane even though i've been there for the last 20 mins grrr. Think i'll stick to swimming when everyone else is at work or school. Rant over. Having said all that so far i'm very happy with the facilities so far, should be using the actual gym area next week after my induction. Having a gym membership again has given me motivation to get a bit fitter.  

TV

We are now officially into the winter season which is usual perceived as bad news to most people especially us in the UK as it's when the weather turn decidedly miserable. The good news is that TV get's good :). New seasons start to run. I've been watching two of my favourites Castle and Merlin please to say both are off to a good start. I caught the last episode of Dr Who in the week. It was ok, don't think it lived upto the build up it had through the season. It just created more questions. Best episode of the season was the week before last with James Corden. Still loving the show though, bring on next season. 

Gaming

The Battlefield 3 beta has begin for XBL gold member so i've had a few rounds on that. Looks promising, keep a look out on the blog i'll do a mini review erm.. at some point. 

Weather

It was officially crazy weather this week. This time last weekend the weather was the hottest we've seen all year. I even cracked out the shorts, something i'm not really know for, whilst we walked down to Blackpool to watch the final fireworks show of the year. Not a bad show btw but Australia really did show us all how it's done. From a heat wave within a day or two we were hit with some intense storms. I was caught in one on Thursday night. I was driving down the M65, this sky was literally pitch black then all of a sudden I was blinded a massive flash of white light which covered the entire sky. I was sure lightening had struck close to me. The strange thing was no thunder. The light was so harsh in the darkness it took my eye a second or to to re-adjust. Then a band of hailstone came down so hard that I could see past the car bonnet.. weird but very cool ;0).

Strange Happenings

Had the strangest thing happen to me this week. I was clearing out a storeroom at work and came across a stack of photo's. One set was photo's of a night out with the staff of the place I work years ago. I instantly reconised the location in the 1st photo it was Utopia, the 1st Nightclub I worked at. As I flicked through there was a photo of the bar I used to run and would you Adam and eve it? There was a photo of me behind the bar working! mental, I must have been arround 19/20 when that photo was taken. It brought back some good memories. 

Music

New albums i've bee n checking out are the latest from Ed Shernan & James Morrison both are very solid albums. They're both great chillin albums you should check em out. I've also been listening to David Guetta's album. It's a fun album to listen to in the car, especial with the windows down and the volume up. The tracks which are collaborations are by far the best. Check out Nothing Really Matters with Will.I.am, not what I expected but loved it. When you get to disc 2 stuff it gets a little too hardcore for me. 

Iphone 4S

Defiantly the highlight of my week. Apple announced there latest iphone. I'm not gonna talk about it here i'm putting together a 2nd post to put together my thoughts on what we saw. Check out this post where I talk about my excitement for Apple events. 

Sad News

Can't really submit this post to without mentioning the death of Steve Jobs after battling cancer for years. I've said all that I need to say on this post. But none the less we lost a great man this week. 

Ok, time to sign off, i'm thinking I need to blog more in the week so I don't have to write such long post at the end of the week. I'll see if time permits, watch this space. 

Have a good week

Peace out Steve...

Once I a while a great man comes around and changes things in such a profound way without you even realising it. Early Thursday morning I woke up earlier than normal and as I opened my eyes my phones screen lit up with a notification, the words simply read 'Steve Jobs has passed away'. A little selfishly my 1st thought was I hate it when i'm right :o(.

The inevitable

The writing had been on the wall that this day might come sooner than anyone wouldn't wish for, the biggest clue was when Steve stepped down as the CEO of Apple just a few weeks ago. My thoughts at the time were sad. Sad that the inspiration for all my favourite tech would no longer be at the helm of the company that produces them. But more than that, I was sad for Steve himself because I think anyone who knew anything about the type of man he was knew that he would only step back when he absolutely had to. Putting the clues together didn't take a genius. I remember thinking it must be hard when your life has been building a company from which you can create not only amazing products but products that change the world in countless ways and now you have to simply step back he clearly lived and breathed Apple to the point where Steve and Apple were one in the same. Against my better judgement i'm going to be more honest than I probably should at the risk as sounding like a sad act to some people. When I read those words I went straight to the laptop to check if this claim was legitimate, I didn't want this to be true but it was. As I looked through the various posts reporting this tragic news on just about every news sources and blog I realised they were not ony reporting but they all were morning the loss. It was then I realised it hit me harder than I would have ever expected. I was truly upset about the passing of a man who I didn't even meet? Never before have I ever really felt the passing of a public figure. 

Life

I've been trying to put my finger on why and the answer is lots of reasons. Without even realising it Steve has been one of the most influential people in my life in subtle and not so subtle ways. The man's life is an inspirational story he created the Apple computer in his garage, from there he re-invented the computer by creating the 1st small computer thus creating the PC for the home. Of course you now know almost no home is without. Famously Steve enticed, the then head of Pepsi Cola, John Scully with the most quoted phase of Steve's life "Do you want to carry on making sugared water or do you want to come with me and change the world?" Steve's tenacious approach and unyielding needed to follow his vision saw him ousted out of his own company! At this point some of us might call it a day there but Steve didn't stop. He went on to found his own computer company NeXt, creating a machine on which the program we now know as the world Wide Web was written on. Steve was brought back into a now struggling Apple, but not before making Pixar the leader in film animation. Back where he belonged he not only re-invented how we listen to music through the invention of the ipod but the music industry as a whole through iTunes. It would take a little time to catch on but downloading music was the way forward. Not done there Steve then showed the world something that will again effect the lives of everyone whether you buy it or not... The iphone. Look around at the phone market today, then market leaders Nokia, Blackberry and Motorola are not the names on peoples lips as they skip to the phone shop. Any new popular phone follows the same model laid out by the iphone, high contrast touch screen, good quality camera on the back, VGA camera on the front, capable of surfing the web in all its glory and a very intuitive UI. Surely Steve can rest easy now? Nope, changing the computing world once is not enough, Steve brought to the world his final legacy the ipad. People didn't get it at 1st, they thought it was just a gimmick, then they got there hands on it. Now, whether they realise it or not, this way of computing is the future, large desktop PC's will become, to use Steve's analogy, the trucks of the computing world doing the heavy work of industry like rendering movies or graphic design. Smaller devices like the ipad will be used by the majority, no keyboard or mouse just one screen and a finger easy peasy.

Legacy

Steve has clearly been preparing for a time when he would no longer be around. Over the past couple of years he's been molding the senior management team into something that will continue to deliver what he started. They've been tested on the stage as well to see if they bring the magic that Steve does in his product announcements, an essential part to the Apple marketing strategy. Ramping up his efforts he hired the dean of Yale School of Management Joel Podolny to oversee his internal project Apple university. This will ensure all new Apple employee's understand the culture and value Steve used to create his company and live his life. Steve took to the stage one last time earlier this year at WWDC to announce IOS 5.0, that same day he showed the world his last gift to Apple computer it's self, the new Apple campus affectionately know as the spaceship. This will be a place that will define Steve's vision and inspire all that see and work within it's curved glass walls to design and build something magnificent. Even though we know Steve has done everything he can to leave us and his company in the best possible hands to make his visions live on, I can't help thinking that in future products to come, that little extra bit of attention to detail that has made Steve a part of each of his products, will be missing. It's often something we can't put our finger on but what sets any other product apart from an Apple product. I truly hope I'm wrong, there's both something sad and impressive in that thought.

Influencer

Steve has influenced me not only in my personal life with his various cool tech and gadgets but in my professional life too. He's a testament to the idea that it's not about going to university and towing the line and fitting in, it's about having faith in yourself and your vision no matter how crazy it may seem to people. The video above of Steve giving a speech at Stanford University puts across far more poetically and simply that life is about doing what you love. A philosophy I believe in whole heartedly though i'm sad to say not one I follow perhaps as much as I should. And lets not forget there's much to learn in how to run a business regardless of what that business may be. For example thanks to his shrewd marketing, carefully planned out product releases and an ability to have people on the edge for their seats for a product announcement Steve can/could create wild speculation, mass hype and desperation without realising a single detail before an Apple event day. I've asked the question once and i'll ask it again, name another phone release that has people camping outside of stores for weeks and queues for miles on launch day just for a phone? Genius in every sense of the word.  

Thank you

I'm frustrated writing this blog post because I know no matter what words I write they wont do justice to Steve's accomplishments but before I sign off I just want to say to Steve if you can see me typing into my macbook with a heavy heart..

The world before you came and the world you left are completely two different things. It's perhaps the finest honor that the way I like most people learned of your passing was using a device you created. You left us with a new way of living and left me and countless other inspired to go out into the world and do what you love. The world really is a better place having had you in it. Hopefully I can be half the man you were. The people you have influenced and the things they do are all your 'one more thing.'

Without even realising it Steve Jobs to me was a real living hero that I've sady lost before I could fully appreciate that fact.

Thanks for reading, hopefully whether your an Apple fan or not you can appreciate the man who will now become a legend.

Lazy Morning blogity 

Word up party people, it's Tuesday and it's my day off! I'm doing my best to relish this day off because The next 2 1/2 are stacking up to be very very busy at work which I'm looking forward to although Lotti probably is wondering what I look like. So it's the morning i'm in bed so what to do... BLOG

Readers of my blog will know I recently started a new position which i'm glad to say is going very well. In fact better than expected. I absolutely love my new role much more than I though I would when I 1st applied. The only problem is that this role is just a secondment position so i'm hoping circumstance chance so my role can be made permanent either where I am now or another venue. Watch this space.

Lets see what new? Me and my good buddy Rob took a trip to Manchester city centre to visit the Apple store and take a look around the city. We are not frequent flyers of Manchester so we thought it would be a bit of an adventure. Highlight of the day, apart from the Apple sore (goes without saying), was a Chinese all you can eat buffet in china town for tea, mmmm. Made the rookie mistake or eating McD's earlier though so didn't have as much room as I would have liked.

Train home was not fun! Has to miss 2 of them just coz is was so busy, we did chose 5pm, aka rush hour, as a time to return home. Not a good idea at all! Even after missing x2 trains we were still jammed into that train car like sardines with nothing to hold onto whilst the train stop and started so the ride home consisted or us inappropriately falling over commuting girls and business type people... awkward.

After recovering from the Manchester trip I was feeling energised to get some home DIY done so I set to work completing the next few stage of my porch project of the house. I finished sanding down the door then re-varnished it in a Church Oak stain, which I love by the way. Some one might need to come stop me before I use it on every piece of wood in the house. Also added a shelf and a hook for dog lead. Almost done with this bit of the house now, I'm getting great feed back from the few who've seen the porch as it is now. Just need to sort the cupboard and it's door an voila, cool, hip, modern entrance to a home done! 

O o in other DIY news another stage has been completed on onther part of the house I'm particularly excited about! Were have I real wood burning fire installed in our back room. I'm so giddy I could wet my pants. There was lot to do when we start this but the hard work is done, brinks removed and then reset to make the fire place, base set in concrete and yesterday the wall plaster. Just tiles to be set wall to be painted and fire to be fitted. It's gonna be a cosy winter at castle Royston. 

Right need to cut this post sort ment to meeting a friend right know ;0)

Peace out

Day Trippin' to Skipton & Signs of old age!

I've taken some time out from work to recharge my batteries from what's been a crazy few months. So much has changed and I've not had the time to take it all in, any who that's a different post.

I decided as I had some time off I would make the effort and spend some quality time with Lotti so a plan was hatched to take her on a mini adventure into the hills and valleys not too far from whence I came. The final destination, kept secrate as we ventured through the various A roads was to be a little town called Skipton, famous for it's picuresqe setting, building society and modest castle.

Now before I continue I should warn you that i'm no word smith, creative writing is not my strong point and spelling and grammer is literly my nemisis. I'm currently only 124 words in and i've have to spell correct at total of 25 words (i'll leave you to guess which ones). Also L will have written about these events on her blog am sure in a much more amusing way. So I might suggest that you might want to go see her version of the events.

Still here? Ok here's how the day went down mainly in picture form ;0) Cheat? me? no? I like to like just creative. 

This was the 1st time we stoped, briefly to get my bearing, for some reason L decided this was a good photo to take? from here I knew the day would be far from boaring. (anyone else think this looks like the lamp post from the Lion the witch and the wardrobe?).

 1st spot was a cattle market I'd been to years ago. On a Sunday they do a car boot which is popualr to the locals. After treating L to a jigsaw for a massive 50p I then finnished her off with a genrous purchase of a cone of chips then we hit the road again. To her suprise this was not the end of the days activies...  

I couldn't keep of from L any longer I had to admit the the finnal destination was to be Skipton partly coz I was dying to tell her coz i'm crap at keeping secrets but mainly becuase of the big sign saying WELCOME TO SKIPTON couldn't be ignored any longer. We parked up by the canal and took a look arround.

After walking for what seemed like ages we really need to sit down and recharge our batteries. It was here where I notice clue 2 that i'm getting old. Clue 1 was the simple fact I chose to come to this Mecca for golden oldies they call Skipton. The clue was the place we chose to eat. Not McD's or a cool and trendy coffee place no no no. It was an old cafe tucked away in a mini precinct which house a selection of boutique styled shops selling various wares. 

But I'm shamed to say the clues didn't stop there. The big clue slapped me right in the face like i'd been hit with a giant wet fish! There I was chatting away with L about how much we were enjoying our order when I looked down and there is was Clue 3! what we BOTH had ordered was a bloody CUP OF TEA and a Jam and a creamed filled SCONE! WHAT... THE... FUCK!!??? What the conversation was about how much we were enjoying our brew and sumised that it much be down to the fact the cafe used only Yorkshire tea. OMG what has happened to me??

We rounded our trip off to the town with a nice little 30 cannal boat trip BOOM Clue 4 which took us up to the castle where we had a local history lesson told by the boats captin. We heard how the cannal behind the castle was built by the castle owners to be used to ship lime stone from the local quarry. They would drop the mined stones down the shoots into the boats. 

You could guess from the photo they quickly discovered this method would result in a high instance of sunken boats so a lower path was made. I bet you didn't think you was getting a history lesson in this post. I was hit with it too, unexpenctantly. I thought I was just getting a quiet little boat ride, a chance to rest my tired legs Clue 5! We also learnt that the toe path was dangerously narrow for hourse as they were worth concidereable money so it was decided they would employ a man to pull the boats through this stretch at they were far more expendable?? The man given this job was named Tommy Often, nick named so because when people asked "How many time do you have to pull the boats in a day Tommy?" He would reply "Often enough" becuase he knew they wanted to know how much he was earning. Sounds like a wise man. 

After the boat ride that was us done for the day. All in all it was a good trip which went down very well. As you can tell it was a bit of an eye opener for me but you know what? As a proud owner of a new box of Yorshire tea purchased today, I don't care. I like what I like and I'll make no excuses for it. And besides all that we both know i'll never really grow up ;0)

Peace out

P.s. I really shouldn't but I can't resist posting one more photo, enjoy...

Time wasting blog post about blogging

Hey hey Party people. 

Can't remember the last time I wrote a blog post so I should make an effort. I warn you now as i'm typing I have no idea what I wanna say and I'm partaking in my CSI sunday ritual out the corner of my eye so expect this to be simply a lot of ramblings for a tired me...

I want to write something really interesting here, something that demonstrates my brilliant insight into some burning topic of the moment yet all's i'm getting is a mental brick wall. Achually that gives me an idea on what to write about.

Blogging is a funny old game. Many people set out to start their own blog and for the majority of people one of two things will happen. Either they will start off strong post at least a few times a week but then quickly get board and stop. For these people I have a theory that they only blog because they see it as a chance to be seen. Not that thats a bad thing, isn't that what most people want, to be recognized for doing something memorable? The other thing thats happens to new bloggers is they fall into the trap of of simply blogging about the boarding mundane things that they do in there day-to-day life such as what they had for tea or what's their plans are for a week on Thursday. I also think that some people think too much, either they try to force a blog post because they fell they must post or they worry too much about the thought of people, strangers and friends reading their thoughts and making unwanted judgment and so nothing interesting come out. So with these theorys in mind here's a few tips to the newbies of the blogging world.   

  1. Blog because you want to.
  2. Write as if only you will be reading what you post (but don't write anything that could get you in trouble).
  3. If your blogging to get readers thats cool but expect it to take a while. You could be writing for months before you get followers. 
  4. Most of all NO 'I had xxx for tea' posts'! keep it interesting and have a point or what would be the point in having something to say?

Well, that's my thought for the day but before I return to the cheezy one liners of CSI: Miami it would be arporiate to finnish of with a heads on a good blog and at the same time I can give a shout out to a friends new blog. Suzy is fairly new to blogging but I think she's already got a good grip on what a good blog should be so go have a read of Eeep i'm a blogger i'm sure it will amusing and intruige you.
