oh yeah I have a blog
Been missing out on young rewired state this year as I have a brand new job and couldn't get holidays to go, as always it inspired me even though I was only there in spirit. Got it into my head to be 100% more involved next year to make up for it so am attempting to get a local centre set up. I hopefully have a meeting set up for next week on my day off work to talk to someone about setting one up. I have no idea what I will say but I am going to channel the spirit of YRS and the amazing young people and wing it.
I am hoping to go see Kick ass 2 this weekend so see if I can come up with a blog post about that.

Animal Crossing New Leaf
I have been playing this game for two weeks now and I am totally addicted.
I have played nearly all the previous versions and this is a far jump from the last game. In this game it is far easier to make money if you know where to look. In previous episodes this required cheating by changing the date etc which I never liked so it got fustrating very quickly.
Also is the fact you don't get all the shops and characters straight away it rewards the amount you play and spend money by giving you more buildings to explore.
Only downside is that it is still a majority collector and money making game. My brother calls the debt game and that is still the case but I enjoy filling up the museum with every sort of fish so I still have fun.
Verdict is, I will be playing it alot more and it will take alot before another game knocks it off the top spot.

Cinema
One of the first we went to see is Iron Man 3, must say I am a Marvel fan, I love the X-men most of all, I had my first crush on Gambit especially when he was on the bad side. So I watch all the Marvel films, even the green lantern which wasn't the worst film in the world but back to the newest one. Iron Man is always a good watch cos Robert Downey was made for the role, it was a brilliant watch and I will be getting it for my collection when it comes out.
Next we saw Star Trek into Darkness, I'm not a Trek fan I went just for Simon Pegg, who is one of my favourite actors. I have a huge crush on him and will watch him in almost anything so I made myself sit down and watch this the first time, but I loved it. It made me a slight fan, so much so I caught myself a few days later watching the original series on tv and that has never happened when I'm at home alone. My bf is a Trek fan and had many things that bugged him about it and when I talked to my brother (also a fan) he had the same complaints but I didn't care about the little things over all I loved it, so much so we went back and saw it again the week after as there was nothing on we wanted to see.
Back to Earth was next, which was a nice little story. Jaden Smith saved the thing, I think to be honest it was never going to work with anyone else as Will Smith wrote it for him, but still, it was a nice enough film. I didn't get bored and if I knew how bad the next film was going to be I'd have gone seen it again.
This last Saturday we saw Man of Steel. Where do I start, we had to wait around an hour for a showing that wasn't full and I thought at the time, do we just see Star Trek again, I should have gone with my gut cos Man of Steel was so boring. The first hour was fine, it should have had half hour of Superman saving the world after that and done but no, it went on, and on and just when you think it's done, it went on. I was ready to go about halfway through the attack the ship part and if I'd know there was another 40 mins to go I'd have gone. I yawned my way through the last half and really hope he is never in the Avengers cos he would be acted of the screen by the cgi Hulk never mind any of the actual actors. So basically that's 3 hours of my life I'm not getting back.
No new films this weekend as the bf is camping with the Cub Scouts but will put up here when we see something new.
