English Summers

Summer in England is always a surprise. Last year we had continous rain that summer was a total wash out making it the worst summer we'd ever had. This year its like another world - its scorching hot. Seriously. People said last year was bad, this is even worse. I cant even walk down the street to buy myself a red bull without sweating buckets and thats me in shorts and a freakin' tank top! Night is worse. I cant sleep, well until 3am rolls around and it becomes cooler for about half an hour. I have a fan and all my windows open but its makes no difference. I cant sleep. Last night I went to bed at around 1 and did not fall asleep until 4 am! 4! Thankfully I didnt have to be up early for college but still, I need my damn sleep! Even sitting here typing this shows no mercy, every few sentences I'm swigging from my evian bottle. My hairs plastered back into a high ponytail which, for people who know me, is never a good look for me. Im serioulsy considering just sitting in my underwear, I mean know ones in. But with my bad luck someone will knock on the front door and I'll rush down there, open the door and then realise I'm standing there in a blue bra and matching hot pants. Maybe not.
I love summer, dont get me wrong its always nice seeing people walking around in shorts and stuff (not that I'm a pervert or anything) but everyone always seems generally happier when the suns out. I know the temperatures we're experiencing are probably know where near what Africa or America have but for us British folk its a revelation. I just wish it was little cooler, I would like to get at least 6 hours sleep please...

Eye Candy Sunday

Hooray! For once I actually blogged this on a Sunday. As I type this I'm watching the film "King Arthur" ya' know the one with Clive Owen & Kiera Knightley and, which actually features my Eye Candy Sunday: Hugh Dancy!
I've always liked Hugh, not only is he from here in England, but the guy defines the world handsome. The reason why I've decided Hugh is to be my Eye Candy this week? Well, his latest film Confessions of a Shopaholic comes out on DVD tomorrow and not only did I like the film but I love the books - sure he may not be how I saw high flyer Luke Brandon but the guy has enough british charm and good looks to take on his role.
The first time I saw Dancy was back in 2004 where he starred alongside Anne Hathaway in the film "Ella Enchanted" where he played Prince Charmont, Char. He was young, talented and like a younger more attractive Hugh Grant. He went on to star in "King Arthur" as Galahad and grew a pretty spectacular beard for the role (I prefer him clean shaven I admit), he played Aiden in the 2007 film "Blood & Chocolate" where he ditched the beard for a very convincing American accent, he was Grigg Harris in "The Jane Austen Book Club", Adam in "Adam" which is one of my all time favourite films, and Luke Brandon in "Confessions of a Shopaholic". Hugh's been a lot of other films but the ones I've mentioned are the ones that I've actually watched and loved.
He's currently engaged to fellow British actress Claire Danes and, I gotta say, they make a pretty hot couple.
So thats this weeks Eye Candy Sunday - Hugh Dancy

- On a side note you'll notice that I've changed the layout for the pictures. Before, you couldnt really see them that clearly, now I changed the design (get me) plus there were just too many good pictures of Mr Dancy - I'll nearly put Mr Darcy how good a Mr Darcy would Hugh make?!! A freakin' good one! ;)

RIP MJ.

I heard last night that King of Pop Michael Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest and then died later on in the night. Many people have different opinions on him but for me the guy was a legend. Despite what he might or might not have done the guy affected the world and left his mark. His songs, no matter how old there are, are still played todays. I mean I still play the Jackson's 5 ABC on my iTouch. Before he went all, well, white I guess, the guy was good looking, very good looking. He let him self go a bit but thats understandable when you have as much fame as Michael did.
I had bought a ticket to see his comeback tour for when he played here in London. I'm not bothered that I spent next to a hundred a fifty pounds for my ticket, I'm more disappointed that I wont get to see him perform live - screw the money.
My thoughts are with his family and close friends. Many people are saying that they're relieved that he's gone, but thats just rile. The guy was a legend, a music legend, and will continue to be one even though he's gone.
Rest in peace Michael Jackson you were pretty, freakin', awesome.

Music Lover

Dont ask why I'm blogging at 09:51 on a Thursday morning, honestly I dont even know myself. I had to wake early today to be up for our "shopping" delivery seeing as everyone else has left for work. I swear they do it on purpose so it arrives when I'm here. For the past half an hour I've been downloading a lot of stuff for my Sims 2 game. My game is so full of custom content I'm surprised it hasnt stopped working. True, I have the Sims 3 but I really dont like it. The people are too weird looking or something, that and the fact that my laptop really doesnt seem to like it so it take forever to load.
But thats not what I'm going to blog about. Everyone who knows me, and for people reading this blog, probably know by now that I'm a total music addict. I cant imagine life without it. When I'm bored I just bring up my iTunes and sit there and listen for hours on end. The music I actually listen to is pretty unheard of by people here in England, ya' see I'm this big fan of American punk rock bands. Also, I get the weirdest, excited feeling when I find a new band thats pretty unheard of and kick ultimate ass! My dream job is to work for a huge record label when I'm older, sorta like Peyton out of One Tree Hill. I have the experience from working in the record store for the past year and, no doubt, I have the passion for it.
I want to go to New York. New York houses all the major labels. I've been once before for Christmas but I was too young to acknowledge where I was. There's so many singer/songwriters, unsigned bands, that are awesome but just havent had the chance to prove themselves. Kinda like me, I want the chance to prove myself that I can make it into the music world. I know I'm seventeen (18 in a few months) but I might as well start out young. New York seems to be the answer to my ambition. I know I must come off sounding pretty naive about the whole idea but I know it wont be easy. I know it wont take just flying over to New York and showing up on the doorsteps of EMI or whatever, hell I need to pass college before. Still, everyone has a dream right? And mines just a bit more adventurous than others.
Hey, if it all falls through I'll just start up my own label, like that wont be hard or anything...

"The Hangover"

Yesterday, actually, on Sunday I went and (finally) saw "The Hangover" with my boyfriend Ben. I had high hopes for the film, the trailer looked hilarious and from all the feedback it was getting on all those "aint it cool" websites like IMDb, it looked as if the film could do no wrong. So I was pleasantly surprised to see that it actually lived up to its expections. Usually, a film is so played up that it can only dissappoint. Like for example Slumgdog Millionaire, I mean it was good dont get me wrong, it just wasnt as good as everyone made it out to be. But The Hangover completely gave "comedy" a new name.
I have never laughed as much in the cinema than I did on Sunday. The Hangover is hysterical, totally hysterical. I thought, going in, maybe all the good jokes had been put in trailer, however I couldnt have been more wrong.
So at the beginning it was pretty OK, the first fifteen minutes I was waiting for something ridiculously hilarious to happen and then it did. I dont think I've ever laughed so hard at the sight of a guy cutting his hand with a knife before, it was over the top and plain wrong that it had to be funny.
Bradley Cooper who played Phil was, by far, the best actor. However it was Zach Galifianakis who played Alan that had the most laughs. The guy is freakin fantastic! And how he said the word retard had tears pouring down my face.
There's no doubt about, "The Hangover" is the best comedy to date and cant seem to do no wrong. Even Ken Jeongs completely over the top character had me rolling about.
I recommend "The Hangover" to everyone, you'll love it, you can't not...

Eye Candy Sunday (On Monday)

I might as well just keep calling it the Eye Candy on Monday because, frankly, I keep forgetting to update it on a Sunday. Yesterday, I went and saw the movie "The Hangover" (which is probably the best film I've ever seen to date) so when I got home it was late in the evening and all thoughts of blogging went out the window.
Anyway.
This weeks Eye Candy is British born actor Alex Pettyfer. Sure, OK the dudes only been in 4 things, 5 if you include his new film "Beastly" but the guy defines the rather chavy word "Phit". He's gorgeous, and can even pull off the skinhead look. Being the bookworm that I am I read all of Anthony Horowitz's "Alex Rider" books so I was more than excited when the first in the series "Stormbreaker" was to be made into a movie. I was even more excited when I saw who was playing him. Since Stormbreaker (which was back in 2006), Alex has gone on to star in films such as "Wild Child" as Freddie and starred alongside Emma Roberts. Recently, he was in the film "Tormented" as Bradley which is based on a kid who dies but then comes back and haunts his bullies. Being certified an 18 I couldnt bend the rules and watch it at the cinema, however I managed to watch it online and had to admit it wasnt great. Luckily though Alex's acting seems to be getting better with age which was probably why he got cast as the lead in next years film "Beastly" which co stars Vanessa Hudgens and Mary Kate Olsen. I would say he was moving up in the world but with co stars like that its difficult to say - there probably the worst 2 people to pull of the characters. I've read the book by Alex Finn of which it is based on and, frankly, Hudgens and Olsen better be damn good because I dont want this to fail.
That said the dude has a pretty buff bod and devilish handsome good looks. For his sake I hope Beastly does well as many of his films havent been much of a success, because the world needs some new eye candy...

Shattered & Knackered

Today was hell. Complete and utter hell. Usually, I like work. Sure it's a pain in the ass that I work Saturdays but then thats just a "Saturday Job" for you. I never wanted to work, hell, I still dont want to but I have to admit getting paid every month is something rewarding. And, amazingly, I managed to score a job that actually I enjoy. But today was one of those days. I had to work the late shift: 8:30 till 5. Granted, I got an hour break still, my feet have never ached so much in my entire life. I work in a music record store just north of Oxford Street. And, no, I wont say where or what its called incase some physco happens to read this and hunts me down (unlikely) but still. Now normally my days are pretty stress free and I can bum around talking nonsense to my work buddies Esta and Dan but today we didnt. Today we got our monthly stock in so, of course, that meant we had to go up and down up and down up and down the freaking narrow, feels like a thousand, steps and then unpack everything and sort out. The whole process took us 3 nearly four hours. By the time I went for lunch I was knackered and collapsed in McDonalds for an hour in their comfy green, uber chic, chairs before dragging myself back to work. Here's me thinking the worst was over, hmmm... not so much. Turns out the delivery in morning was only the first, there was double the amount arriving. *scream*.
I mean I love my job, getting to nosy around old records and finding new music is my idea of heaven, but not today. Today was so not worth £7.80 an hour. By the time I actually got home, after missing my bus and having to walk, I fell onto my bed in a shattered mess. I'm sort of glad Ben, my boyfriend, has cancelled on me. We were meant to be heading to the cinema to see "The Hangover" tonight but something "came up" so we're going tomorrow night instead. I'm not bothered, much. My feet probably couldnt have made it anyway...

Whats The Deal With Wentworth?

I dont get it, I really dont: why are people crushing on the actor Wentworth Miller? Ya' no, the dude from the Prison Break Series that I actually watched. I dont get it.
On Twitter I follow the gossip blog Just Jared and on said website its being asked "who is your secret crush?". Here's me thinking the majority of people would have said Pattinson and Efron (which to be fair many did) but the most frequent name that kept surfacing was Wentworth bloody Miller. Why? Really. WHY? The guys not hot, he really isnt. With hair, maybe. But with the whole skinhead thing going on, no, just no. Sure, the guy can act and I'll admit his eyes are pretty gorgeous but thats where the attraction stops, finishes, ends. I really would love to know what the driving force is behind the crush of Miller, really I would. So if you happen to like this guy do me a favour and let me know why, thanks. Still, I stand resolute: the dude's not hot.

Eye Candy Sunday (On Monday)

Bah so this was meant to be posted yesterday but thanks to the older brother roping me in for 6 hours (maybe more) of back to back Oceans' 11 films, I had no time to get online, let alone update my blog. So today I'm giving you my Eye Candy Sunday but on Monday, meh, it works... sorta.
So this weeks Eye Candy is the British born actor, Ed Westwick. I love Ed, seriously I do. And not just because I've actually seen him play live when he was back over here in London, but because, lately, he has been looking pretty damn hot. He's an absoloute legend in the American hit TV show, Gossip Girl, where he plays bad boy Chuck Bass. How he manages to maintain the same accent for every show is a mystery to me, but he does it somehow. Before Gossip Girl he was in a few films including "Son Of Ranbow" where he played Lawrence, he was Joey in a "100 Feet", Alex in "Children of Men" and is going to be playing "Heathcliff" in the amazing book, "Wuthering Heights" which I am so unbelievably amped for! He's perfect for Heathcliff. His band, Filthy Youth, aren't at all big but I gotta say their music is one of my most played on my iTunes. Lots of people dont like them, even here in England, but I love them because they sound so different to the typical indie, rock, group plus I just cant get over his accent. I'm really hoping we'll be seeing a lot more of Ed in upcoming years now that Gossip Girl is finished or if he doesnt pursue his career in acting he at least gives music another shot.

Lets Rant

Now I'm not normally the one to dedicate a whole post to a major rant, I mean I think Im pretty optimistic gal' who has her crazy moments. I'm ranting because, truthfully, I have nothing else to blog about, that and I feel as though I need to update this thing. But maybe I dont, need to update it I mean, I mean it could be that no one reads this. Actually thats not true, people do read this, well at least my 30 or so followers do (quite an achievement actually considering this is, what? my ninth post?). I'm just special I guess. Anyway, the rant. I'm ranting about just random bits and pieces that have gone wrong today. For one because I live in London and quickest way to journey anywhere is by tube even though I hate the darn things, they're the best way of getting somewhere. But of course today, when I needed to hand in assignment for college, today has to be the day when every single tube in the whole of London goes on strike. Fucking twats. I guess it failed them to know that people actually need to be somewhere by a certain time and dont have time to wait around for a bus in the piddling rain only to have the bus late and then get stuck in roadworks before finally getting to college 20 minutes after the designated time. True story. Seriously, what normally is a 5 minute tube ride took nearly four times the time, like I said, fucking twats. I mean who commendears a whole city tube strike? They're mental. And why the hell did they even go on strike? Not getting paid enough? Oh well boo hoo, get a better job then! Bahh, you cant trust anyone these days. So despite getting wet in the rain, handing in my assignment 20 minutes over the time and waiting again in the rain for a bus a home I finally made it and decided to be a real pig about everything which was why I got out all our ice cream, chocolate sauce and kit kats and made this huge sundae + I watched The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (I was feeling a bit Shane West). I wish I hadnt eaten all that ice cream now, I feel ridiculously sick. Ahh well it was worth it at the time despite the fact that I've probably put on half my body weight. Now all I've got to do for the rest of afternoon + evening is actually do some coursework thats due in tomorrow (what? I work better under pressure), update twitter some more, maybe do another blog post?, watch gossip girl at 9, wash and straighten my hair (wash definietly, straighen if I can be bothered) do a bit of youtubing, answer and check emails and then stick on a film, get into my PJ's and crawl under the covers.
Like hell it'll all happen in that order, but I can at least try.

Eye Candy Sunday

So this is my new idea for a blog post: it's going to be any guy that I think is incredibly hot, buff, or just darn smokin'. A load of my other blogging friends have "Pictures of the Week" "Crushes of the Week" etc... but mine is going to be a lil different. For one, I'll only update this post every sunday, geddit? Eye Candy Sunday. Yeah? OK. So to start of my first Eye Candy is going to be the sexy, smouldering, gets better with age, Shane West. Oh yes, this Louisiana born piece of male hasnt gone unnoticed by me. What I love about Mr West is that he's not the "obvious" good looking, not like Efron or Crawford who are just pretty, but Shane isnt pretty he's freakin' hot. I think my love for this guy became defined when I saw him in the classic love story movie, "A Walk to Remember" in which he played Landon Carter the school's hottest, most popular property but then goes on to fall in love with the daughter of the Reverand, Jamie Sullivan (played by Mandy Moore). He acted so damn well and caused a whole floodgate of tears to occur when I watched the film. Shane then went on to star in the ever so popular TV series ER where he played Dr. Ray Barnett and even then he had his devilish handsome looks still intact. He was Tom Sawyer in the film "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", Bentley 'Striker' Scrumfield in "Get Over It" and Darby Crash in "What we do is Secret". And if that wasnt enough the guy can hold a tune and has his own band, 'Jonny Was' who are frickin' awesome!
West is set to star in a bunch of new films in the upcoming years playing a various different leads, still, he will always be Landon Carter to me...

Bloody Miserable

See. Now this is why I sometimes deteste living in London its niether sunny nor miserable, its frickin' inbetween. This is what gets me about British weather - it cant make up its damn mind! For the past week we've been expierencing some sorta heatwave and this morning I wake up, take a trip into the city centre and this is what I'm greeted with. For one, I was seriously pissed at the idea of getting up at the crack of dawn and meeting my cousins from Victoria Station who are up for the holidays. Not ony that but they insisted we take the "scenic" tour bus so they could soak up the "London culture" even though I explained to them getting on a tube (which I hate) would take literally 5 minutes to reach my house. But no, they insisted. Its incredibly embarrasing being on a tour bus when you actually live in London. I mean I could have at least have had a bag with me to make it look as if I wasnt from around here, but no, all I had on me was a set of house keys and my iTouch. So I snapped the picture above to show how miserable London is. And yet so many want to live here? Beats me why...

And Squeal...

They do spoil us a bit dont they? Anyone else think that Taylor looks ridiculously photoshoped? Either that or he's shooting an advert for hair gel ;)

I'm Obsessed

Usually, Im not one to get physco crazy over something however, I think I've changed that. After signing up to this thing yesterday (which I am still questioning whether it was a smart move) I logged onto YouTube. I love YouTube, and not just because you can watch just about everything on there, but because you can watch one thing that then leads you to another, and then another and another and... well you get the point. Anyway! I was on there last night and, because I am "active" member of YouTube, I get videos "recommended" to me. I love that, the fact that YouTube thinks they know what you'll like *laughs*. But, for once, they got it right. Being the teen twilight fan that I am (what tween/teen girl isnt?) they recommended a video with all the new New Moon footage with a particular song playing. Now the video, which was good, introduced me to a new band. I was only really listening to the music rather than watching the video (meh, i've seen the New Moon trailer countless times) and so by the time it finished I was like, "um wow. what was the song again?!?"
And so I found the band Trading Yesterday
I completely adore them, no, I am obsessed with them. There song "Shattered" which started my obsession has been played 23 times on my iTunes and I only downloaded it yesterday. However there number one song, to me, is Love Song Requiem . Now anyone who knows me knows I am this hardass, thinks she cool, rocker so this is completely out of my comfort zone. Still, I am obsessed. Hey, its healthy right?

Want, Want, Want...

I want these damn shoes! Never mind the guy attached to them (although I wouldnt say no), I want the trainers. I've searched every *shudder* sport/chav store online and I cant find them anywhere. Are they like a Rob Pattinson Own brand or something crazy like that? All these chav sites are offering me other trainers but I dont want any others I want those. I can tell I'll have to send off abroad somewhere for them unless I scout out every Footlocker, JD Sports etc... in London until I get my hands on them. Mission for Sarah: Find Rob's trainers. Unless, of course, I just give ol' Rob a ring on my phone and just ask where he got those beauties from. What? Dont you have his number?

Lets Try It...

Ya' know what would have made this "signing up to blogger" shiz more defined like? If I had started this yesterday, then it would have been at the beginning of a new month, new start, new blog. No? Am I the only one this is making sense to? Obviously. So this is my first blog post (on blogger) and I gotta say its a lot easier than I anticipated. At first, when I deliberated whether or not I should sign up, I thought "I'm not going to update this regulary" but then isnt the point of a blog to update when you can and want? Thus this reason I've decided to join. So lemme think how I can describe myself to you: I'm obsessed with eyeliner and anything black. I write songs. I deteste cats with a passion. Shiny pennies are a wonderful thing. I'm addicted to twitter. I dye my hair, often. I hate the tubes. I wear a lot of makeup. Music gigs are my second home. My diet is made up of absolute crap. I like my leather boots. My nails are always painted a colour. I hate my voice and play the guitar. And have five peircings although you can only see three. I live in London and I wont say where you weird-sick-stalker-perv. I like Robert Pattinson's nike trainers, I want his trainers. I roll my eyes too much that I think I'll have my eyes stuck permanently mid roll and if I leave my house without my iTouch I feel lost. So thats me. I wonder what other uninteresting, nonsense, crap I'll blabber on about?
