Day04: Favourite book

This one is such a hard one as I am a total bookworm and I have so so many favourite books. I actually had to go sit in front of my bookshelf and try to come to a conclusion on my favourites. I decided that these are my top 3. They are all Stephen King books, because he is my favourite author.

The Shining by Stephen King
If you don't know what this is about it's basically about a man, his wife and their son who go to a hotel during the winter to do maintenance. They are isolated for months because of the heavy snow. The son has a gift and the man goes crazy. It is an absolutely fantastic read and if you have seen the Jack Nicholson movie version, the movie has NOTHING on the book. I cannot even begin to list how many things the movie left out. Stephen King himself hated the movie so much that he made a mini series of The Shining which includes a lot more of the important things but just isn't very good in my opinion.

Misery by Stephen King
This book is about an author who gets in a car crash and a crazed fan rescues him and holds him hostage at her house in a remote area. Once again, there has been a movie made based on this book which I really enjoyed. It's very rare that I like the movie after reading the book it's based on but this(and Harry Potter) is the exception.

Carrie by Stephen King
This book is about a teenage girl who is telekenetic, and very sheltered from the facts of life due to her overly religious mother. I'm sure everybody has heard the saying 'More blood than Carrie at the prom' or something along those lines, lol. The movie of this book is absolutely TERRIBLE. The book is quite short and really a good, if not disturbing read. But disturbing is something Stephen King does very well.

So these are my favourite books by my favourite author. I really do have a lot more favourites but I didn't want to make this post too long. I also apologise for my terrible skills at explaining what books are about.

I hope everyone is having a great week

Day03: Favourite tv programme.

I am a movie &tv show fanatic. I own almost 500 dvds and I have a one terabyte hard drive that is nearly full with movies and tv shows. At first I thought I could pick just one tv show or maybe 2 but after thinking, I have realised I can only narrow it down to 5. Here they are...

Grey's Anatomy
I never watched this when it first aired on tv. I borrowed the first season off a friend about a year later and I fell in love. I own all the seasons and am very sad that George and Izzy are no longer in it. This show is perfection. I've never liked medical shows much, Grey's Anatomy is the exception.
Favourite charcter; Miranda Bailey

Law & Order SVU
The best crime drama I have ever seen in my life. I am absolutely obsessed with this show and I watch the seasons again & again. I know who the bad guy is within the first 30 seconds of every episode, and there are over 200 episodes. You're probably thinking I need a life right about now? And you are probably right lol
Favourite character; Odafin Tutuola!

Summer Heights High
I'm not sure that this gets aured anywhere other than Australia or if any of you bloggers not from Aus have heard of it? I LOVE IT! It was one of the funniest shows I have ever seen in my life. I even went and bought a shirt that says 'I love your bins, they're so random' ahahaha. I'm highly depressed that there is only one season. My lovely boyfriend randomly surprised me and bought this home for me some time last year. I love those gifts you get for absolutely no reason.
Favourite character; Ja'mie

Kath & Kim.
So so SO Australian. This is one of the funniest Australian shows I've ever seen. I'm actually not a big fan of 99% of Australian moves and tv shows. They just generally suck. But this is absolutely amazing. If you haven't seen the real version of this and have only seen the American version, DO NOT JUDGE. I watched the American version and it is fucking awful. It is nothing like the real Kath&Kim show.
Favourite character; Kim

The Mighty Boosh
I love absolutely everything about this show. There aren't even words. I just freaking love it. I am dyinggg for Boosh to come to Australia so I can go see them.
Favourite character; The Moon or Old Gregg


What are your thoughts on my favourites?

Day01: Favourite Song

A while ago I did a post asking for suggestions on what to blog about and someone suggested I do the 30 day thing. If you don't know what that is, it is basically a list that covers 30 days and each day is a topic to blog about. As you can tell from the title day 1 is favourite song.

Like a lot of people I don't have just one favourite song, so I am going to list a few:
- Dance in the Dark by Lady Gaga
- Speechless by Lady Gaga
- Semi Precious Weapons(Diamond in it) by Semi Precious Weapons
- Black or White by Michael Jackson
- The Minstrel's Prayer by Cartel
- Sweet Talk 101 by Cute is What We Aim For
- Crash and Burn by Savage Garden

- What's the Dillio by Mest
- It's Time to Dance by Panic! at the Disco
- Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright(I know Jeff Buckley does the original but this is my favourite version)

...Well that ended up being more than just a few but there you go.
