MERRY XMAS EVERYONE!

Is everyone enjoying their holidays so far? I hope you're all well and taking in this festive season! Has everyone started watching Xmas movies yet, if so which ones are your favourites? (Just out of curiosity! I'll list my faves in my recommendations part BELOW)

I don't think I need to say that Disneyland Paris was, of course, MAGICAL! *floats off on cloud* Despite the temperature dropping below zero and staying there, I managed to wrap up warm and take in the sites, sounds and tastes. I got highly addicted to the new Mickey Mouse shaped donuts they had this year, they were full of NUTELLA, how tasty is that? Also, the Terror Tower ride in the studios park scared me to death Not only does it plummet once, but three times, my stomach was left at the top somewhere! The park is of course pretty empty at this time of year, due to the weather, so my sister and I managed to go on many of the rides multiple times. Can't get enough of Space Mountain Photos and videos were taken in bucket loads, which I HAVE successfully edited the photos, but I don't think I can be bothered to edit the videos until after Xmas - sorry folks!

Snow has actually fallen in my area, not much, but it has settled Which surprised me to view as I awoke, since we don't usually get any snowfall in the U.K. until Jan-Feb time. At present it's turned into a hard crust of ice right now, so it's a bit dangerous a-foot, not that that'll stop me sliding around like an ice skating penguin

Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name" is officially the Xmas number one in the music charts here. I don't usually pay attention to the music charts, since it is full of talentless fools these days, so this is definitely refreshing to hear!

I am still MAJORLY MIFFED that Disney have decided to make ' Princess and the Frog' release date FEBRUARY over here, when right now it is released pretty much everywhere but here! So, I have to avoid anything media related on the subject. I don't think the U.S. realise how lucky they are with cinema distribution, it really does get ridiculous how long the U.K. has to wait for films these days. So, I ask people who have seen the movie kindly, NO SPOLIERS PLEASE, K, THANKS.



PHOTOGRAPHY

Still getting through my Berlin photographs, I am actually making progress! Hey, maybe next year I'll actually get round to uploading Toronto and Disneyland - LOLZ. Patience is a virtue!

MERRY XMAS ONE AND ALL! So my Xmas spirit has been soaring so far, I think getting a brand new Xmas tree helped this year, extra fun to decorate ^___^ So, whats everyone upto this year anything fun and delicious?

This weekend, I'm off to Disneyland!
I didn't manage to get there last year, so it's almost like I've been having withdrawals from lack 'o' Disney rides, of course, I can't wait! Even if this is my 12th visit, I can never get sick of the place, it just has a magic that no other theme parks can capture, especially around the Xmas Season.I haven't even finished editing my Toronto photos yet, so I may be somewhat snowballed when I get back from Disney, you can guarantee I'll go crazy with videos and photos!

This past November, I had the delight to meet some amazing celebrities at Londons Collectormania and all of them being so amazing to talk with! I may even be featured on a 'Nightmare on Elm Street' 25th anniversary featurette

Events that went down:
- Heather Langencamp ( Nancy from 'Nightmare on Elm Street' ) cute signature and doodle!
- 'Gingersnaps' Katharine Isabelle, rewarded with yet another amazing doodle to the collection.
- Mark Ryan, who voiced Bumblebee in 'Transformers 2' kind enough to do an intro to my youtube video (Will be editing before I head to Disney, I swear!) and let us hang out with him for hilarious times!
- John-Rys-Davies (Gimli, LOTRs) walked by and I asked him "Can I give you a hug?" He replied with "Oh course, my darling!", gave me the biggest of bear hugs and kissed me on the neck!
- My sisters met Mr Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), which she absolutely ADORES. Not only signed the calendar she bought and posed for a photo, but let her film an opening for her youtube video! ( Check it out here: [link] )

Amazing times had by all ^_____________^



PHOTOGRAPHY

I have been slacking somewhat with my Toronto photos, which isn't necessarily a bad thing since I haven't even finished uploading my Berlin snaps on here XD I have a feeling even though I'm only at Disneyland for a few days, I'll fill at least one of my memory cards, if not with photos, with videos. Either way, I'll be Mickey laughing my way through that damn place clicking photos everywhere!

London Expo
How can explain this weekend? Well, it was awesome! Busy and alot more queuing than I was hoping for, but ultimately ALOT of awesome times were had. I have never been to a convention with SO MANY costumes in my life, it was very refreshing to see others making the effort aswell as my homies and me. My costume was a success and so were all the costumes of the dear chumlings I travelled with, I even managed to achieve the signature from Ben Templesmith I was after, even shook his hand too! There was a preview of 'Wolf-Man' showing, which seeing the effects makes me less angry at the fact they CGI'ed over Rick Bakers animatronics, it's not his work, but it's still better than nothing. I think the atmosphere of the whole film seems very delish.
We were all extremely tired by the end of the day, but satisfied and full of knowledge on what to expect for next year, now all I have to do is think of my NEXT costume XD Photos and videos will be uploaded by the end of the week, I imagine

Halloween
Even after such a busy weekend, I still must keep on my toes and prepare for Halloween this coming weekend Luckily, my costume is already sorted as I didn't get to wear last years costume due to unforeseen illness, BOO! I bought a load of cheap horror films to keep my mind at bay ('Fright Night' and 'The Howling' being some), along with a trip to Sherwood forest They are even showing 'An American Werewolf in London' in cinemas around here, which couldn't make me happier! Seeing one of my all time favourite movies on the big screen, how can I refuse?!

I'm interested to know what everyone else is upto this year, tell me your tales!

I'm gradually preparing for Toronto, planning where to go and what to do. I'm gaining confidence that the trees might still have pretty Autumnal foliage, if not, the city itself looks amazing! Especially when planning a trip to Niagra Falls, it's going to be chilly but I'm packing plenty of clothes! Can't wait ^_^

Photography
I finally got through the bounty of Oslo photos, now onto, well everything else. I am seriously back logged now, especially with Toronto creeping ever closer. I will hopefully get quite a few Berlin photos loaded before I set off again, along with the many Autumnal photography thats floating around from random excursions to nearby arboretums.
