lou got herself a ticket to the remember me (new robert pattinson film) premiere tonight. she was only able to get one (despite her best efforts to get two!) so i went to keep her company before she had to walk the red carpet in.

it was insane! there were crazy twilight fans just about everywhere. i stuck around long enough to catch a glimpse of robert pattinson (couldn't manage to get a photo though...boo) and thought that was enough to go home. he was beautiful.

first time i've seen a premiere in the flesh though - despite living here for 9 months! it was very cool. i'm thinking that sometime soon (i'm thinking the sex and the city premiere in may) i'll take a half day and go be one of the crazies waiting for the stars to arrive.

just another cool thing about living in london. premieres just round the corner from work. amazing.

(i'm home in a week!!! can not wait!)

time won't let me go..home

Wow, it's been a while since I've last posted! Probably been the longest break in between posts. I've been a busy girl with work which has been nice. But there's good news attached to that - my contract has been renewed! So I'm excited, not gonna have to look for a new job. This also solidifies my trip home! My flights have been booked for a couple weeks now, but just to say it out loud, I'm coming home March 24th! I'll be staying until April 12th, so it'll be a nice visit. Gonna be home for Easter, which I'm also happy about.

There hasn't been much to report in terms of what I've been up to. Work, cinema, etc. Not a whole lot. One cool thing that I got to do though was attend a BAFTA (the British Academy of Film and Television) event! Lou won tickets to their Silent Picture House event. The BAFTAs are the British equivalent of the Oscars and the awards ceremony was a couple weeks ago. Two days before the awards they held this event where they played all the films nominated for Best Picture. You got a headset, picked a screen, and watched the film of your choice. It was amazing and the hospitality was phenomenal. We basically got to go in, have a bunch of hors d'oeuvres and champagne. Good times.

Anyway, I should get back to work. But I can't wait to come home! Tim Horton's, dim sum, perogies, family and friends. Just a few things I'm excited to have in my life again!

Miss you all and see you in a few short weeks!
