Goodbye Powderfinger...

Today Powderfinger announced that The Sunsets Tour later this year would be the last tour and that their recent album Golden Rule will be their last. I'm in despair...

Sex and The City 2 Trailer and oh wow Aidan...

After just writing my post Plastic Joy Award! it seemed funny to find this new clip of the new Sex and The City trailer and see maybe there is trouble in paradise for Mr Big and Carrie?

Chris Kamara misses Portsmouth sending off - PURE GENIUS!

It would be fair to say it was a terrible football day for me and Spurs boy yesterday. We spent the afternoon in a gorgeous little pub in Cornwall (another holiday I know) watching the football. We were talking with locals and at the time (United's match was over) and Spurs were 2-0 down so you can imagine the mood :-( But Chris Kamara on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday programme can never fail to make you laugh, and especially after this one. Pure genius!

Sport Relief

Last week I participated in a few Sports Relief fundraising events with my football classes and it felt good to be able to do something for this cause. I admit that I am a bit of a softie at heart and watching the evening's television show on Friday was as emotional as they always are.

Calling all the single ladies!

This video of Beyonce's song Single Ladies is a pretty iconic one in recent times. Have you tried to copy the moves?

Gorillaz are back!

Gorillaz are back! On the 8th March 2010 sees the release of the third studio album Plastic Beach. The band is composed of four virtual band members 2D (lead vocals, keyboard), Murdoc Niccals (bass guitar), Noodle (Lead guitar and occasional vocals) and Russel (drums and percussion). The band is a collaboration between various artists, Damon Albarn of Blur is the only permanent music contributor though.

Bridesmaid adventures continue...

Tomorrow I head off to The National Wedding Show with Future Bride and Bestie. I have read The Bridesmaid's Guerilla Handbook and I sort of feel ready, well after my last blog 'Being a bridesmaid'.

We know that Future Bride is not wearing traditional white as well let's face it she's had two children so we're not really fooling anybody. They have decided against a church wedding and are looking for a venue to host the big day.

We will be heading to the show with our very own little Wedding organiser that we made, although I had been thinking about getting a filofax just for wedding preparations :-)

I found this cute wedding stationary idea whilst browsing Confetti the other day but it's pretty expensive unfortunately :-(

I'll let you know how we get on at the show, we have Bestie's 25th birthday party in the evening so all round it will be a fab day!

But for all you romantics I thought I'd post my favourite proposal scene. It's from Grey's Anatomy. Enjoy!

One Tree Hill Quote "Why won't you ever just let me all the way in?"

I thought today I'd watch a bit of One Tree Hill and I picked a random disc and a random episode and it was Nathan and Haley's wedding. Tear jerker bit is the scene with Lucas and Brooke and key quotes from this scene are:

Brooke Davis: "A kiss always means something"

Brooke Davis: "How about how you show it? I am not pushing you away, Lucas, I am holding on for dear life. But I need you to need me back, okay? Why didn't you tell me about the kiss? And why didn't you call me while you were away? And why won't you ever just let me all the way in?"

Lucas Scott: "Please don't be mad, Brooke".

Brooke Davis: "I'm not mad, Luke. I'm not mad".

*wipes tears*

Tim Lovejoy's introduction to rugby

You've probably seen this video if you follow Tim Lovejoy or Will Carling on twitter, but if not here is Tim Lovejoy being put through his paces by Will Carling and the Harlequins squad. I especially like the bit when Carling tells Lovejoy to take off the gloves and of course Lovejoy's cheeky jump try at the end :-)

Holmes For The Holiday

Over this holiday period I will hopefully find time to go and see Sherlock Holmes.

After finally catching serial killer and occult "sorcerer" Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong), legendary sleuth Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) and his assistant Dr. Watson (Jude Law) can close yet another successful case. But when Blackwood mysteriously returns from the grave and resumes his killing spree, Holmes must take up the hunt once again. Contending with his partner's new fiancée and the dimwitted head of Scotland Yard, the dauntless detective must unravel the clues that will lead him into a twisted web of murder, deceit, and black magic - and the deadly embrace of temptress Irene Adler (Rachel McAdams).

I was reminded yesterday of another Jude Law film "Alfie" and I'm sure all ladies will remember a certain scene in the film involving him in a white vest whilst playing pool, you know the one ;-)

Back to Sherlock Holmes and a website you might be interested in,  is that of John H. Watson's. Let me know if you see the film over the holiday season and Merry Christmas!

Sarah Loves... The Polar Express Movie

I love Christmas and at the moment with the snow I feel like every time I step out of my front door I am walking through the wardrobe into Narnia. It's amazing! Don't think everyone is so keen on the snow but I love it. Although it makes me want to go on holiday snowboarding again...

There are a number of Christmas films that I love and here is a list of my faves;

Home Alone

Miracle on 34th Street

It's a Wonderful Life

Love Actually

The Grinch

But most... I love The Polar Express!

The video below shows the first part of the film and if you haven't seen it then shame on you! Just make sure that you watch it this Christmas yes? Good.

Do you believe?

Jack Bauer interrogates Santa video

Don't worry kids it's just pretend... the video that is :-)

Brian Cox teaching Shakespeare

Such a cute little video I just had to put it on here!

How The Grinch Stole Christmas

A Charlie Brown Christmas

Hollyoaks - Strictly Calvin Dancing

Now I love Hollyoaks and I love Calvin (Ricky Whittle) and whilst I'm not sure if he will now win Strictly Come Dancing but this trailer for the upcoming storyline for him looks good and loving that The Yeah Yeah Yeahs is the chosen soundtrack!

Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should've Come Over

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe i'm too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you never know

Broken down and hungry for your love but no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child you know how much i need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

So I'll wait for you..... and I'll burn
Will i ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn

Oh lover, you should've come over
'cause it's not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that won't ever come

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when i slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my song forever

Well maybe I'm just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Oh.... lover, you should've come over
'cause it's not too late

Well I feel too young to hold on
And I'm much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I've done

Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love well I'm waiting for you

Lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late........

Powderfinger - Burn your name

I got my 'Golden Rule' album last week, it's always difficult to get Powderfinger's music over here as they are from Australia and the import charges are pretty high but I managed to get one and it's really good. My favourite album is still Odyssey Number Fivethough. 

Powderfinger went straight to Number One in the ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) Album Chart.

'Burn you name' will be the second single taken from the album after 'All of the dreamers' that came out last month. 

No news on a UK tour yet but hopefully they'll announce that soon. Cannot wait!
