Movie reviews

Hi readers,


I am wondering what you would think about it, if I would be making movie reviews - also on YouTube. It is because I have almost 300 DVD's and I have not seen them all. But I'm still thinking about the W's


Why - What - When - Where 


So I can make them go by genre or by alphabet. Or a two in one which I could perhaps do with some remakes, for example; Romeo and Juliet from 1963 and Romeo + Juliet from 1996, or another example to do it by creator; like all the movies from Tim Burton - or all the Disney Pixar movies I have in my collection. But it might get a long, boring video review. Still have to think about it all and come up with a concept plan.


Love,

Tired to the bones

I don't know if it's because I'm ill, or if it's because I slept badly for the past few days. But i'm tired to the bones. It's 20.25 while I write this and I wish so badly I could go to bed. Just sleep and do nothing more. I guess I go now.

Love,

The organisation of the DVD collection

My dear readers,


This is the second update in the new year. So a few days ago I decided to organize my DVDs. And you may be thinking, that's not so hard. Well, to be honest, it is for me. I have almost 260 DVDs. No, maybe more, I've not checked everywhere, but they where all stacked neatly in cabinets made for them and a gigantic closet. But every time I searched for one, I could not find it. The longest search I had was about an hour and I was looking for a Harry Potter. So now, I have decided to organize my DVD collection. And I did it as this. I first took out all the DVD's. Saw if the boxes where filled (which where not in 12 of the cases) and then wrote them down in Excel. 


Then I decided what genre I wanted to put them in. You see if you have a movie like Harry Potter, what genre would it fit? Well, It would fit Drama, Fantasy, Family and Romance. But I put them in Fantasy and in stead of writing down for example; Harry Potter and the Halfblood Prince and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I wrote Harry Potter 1, Harry Potter 2, Harry Potter 3 etc. and for the last two movies I did Harry Potter 7.1 and Harry Potter 7.2. 


Not only will this make it easier for me to find out where I've hidden away my movies, it will make it easier for my friends and family to search one out, when they are here, if I told them; "Well, there is the romance section, and over here, that's horror." And if they did want to borrow one, well, I would write their names on the excel list, so I would know which person has which movie! It's easy. Maybe I will even make pictures and show them to you. Can't promise, but it is something I am very proud of.


Love,


Aledawn

2011 in a nutshell from me and my good intentions for 2012

Happy New Year! I wish you all the best, love, joy, health and happiness you can cope with. 


So to not make this post extremely long and boring, I will sum up 2011 in a nutshell making little dots and notes where I feel I should mention something. 



  • I started a new school - doing the lesson pack for secretary.
  • Started VERS training (to cope with my emotions etc.)
  • I did not once try to kill myself (Giant Highlight)
  • I fell in love 3 times. (One did not work out, one I'm still dating and the other was a big mistake.)
  • I bought an E-reader.
  • I found out I have fibromyalgia.
  • I did not win any big prize money.
  • I found out I am happy being me.
  • I started writing, sometimes big pieces sometimes nothing at all.

Now for my good intentions for the year 2012. I have decided to read more, to write more, to have more fun. To at last quit smoking and to lose some weight.

I wish there would be more to say but for now, I''ll leave it at this.
