My 2011!

As Christmas is nearly upon us and then a week after that we will be in the New Year I thought I would do a quick blog on my year of 2011.

This year has been a great one, the best in years. After a dodgy start the year really picked up with loads of filming, festivals, travelling and has ended in both me and Mel back in my home village of Cold Norton. We have had some pretty good blockbuster movies (Captain America, Super 8, Rise of the Planet of the Apes), a few average (Thor, Pirates 4) and some pure rubbish (Transformers 3). I have played my way through Lego Potter and Pirates, wasted my money on DJ Hero and become addicted to Arkham City, which has started off a new obsession for Batman Graphic Novels. I have seen some brilliant bands including Muse, Pulp, Eminem, The Offspring and Noah and the Whale. Had another very exciting set of filming take place for “I am Tim” which ended in a very pretty and gory looking series 2 on youtube. I hopefully have spent my last year in shared housing which I was sad to leave as I enjoyed the company of the people I lived with, and I was very proud of Steve and Jonny on filming their first feature film on very little budget, which I can not wait to the finished article next year sometime. Most of all this year Mel and me decided to take a 7 week break and have a little trek around Europe, which saw us taking in some amazing sights and opened my eyes up to art, music, architecture and just so many cultures, but most importantly how much I love the woman who convinced me to do this trip and how I want to spend the rest of my life with her experiencing whatever the future holds! Come on 2012 you got a lot to do to out do 2011!
