My daily routine, or lack thereof
This month I’ve only worked weekends, there being no overtime available, and when I haven’t been at work I’ve had things on. Now I’ve got nothing planned until October, and no overtime coming up. The result? Sleeping too much, eating too much and boredom.

10 Historical Ladies Who Deserve Their Own Movie
Interesting post I found while going through blogs I follow earlier today. There’s some truly cool historical ladies who need to be better appreciated.
It’s no secret that most Hollywood productions are about men and their stories, and the same goes for historical films. While there have been a handful of famous (and awesome) ladies from history that have dominated the screen, such as Queen Elizabeth I, Cleopatra, and Marie Antoinette, there are plenty of others just as deserving. Historical biopics are always in season (and usually end up on the Oscar-radar) and here I give you ten ladies who I think deserve their own adaption.
1. Tamar of Georgia
Tamar was a Queen of Georgia in the early 13th century and was called the “King of Kings and Queen of Queens”. Her reign is known for making the kingdom politically, economically, and culturally strong. Tamar is a lesser-known Queen who deserves some exposure to Western audiences. Her life of being badass would make a great film.

Who Should Play Her: Olga Kurylenko…

Books and albums I’m looking forward to after summer ends
It’s the middle of August already! I scared myself this morning by working out how long I’d got until the two concerts I’m going to in Nottingham in October. Seven weeks for one (Reckless Love) and ten weeks for the other (HIM).

It’s been a while since any bands on Twitter followed me…
But recently I had two do so. Both are broadly hard rock/metal, but they are nonetheless very different bands.

Halestorm release video for ‘Here’s to us’
One of my favourite bands, Halestorm, who I saw in Nottingham in March, has released a video for their song ‘Here’s to us’. This is a beautiful song live as well as on the album. Have a listen.

So, I’m back with the second chapter of my werewolf adaptation of ‘Pride and Prejudice’. I didn’t get any feedback about the first part but I’m still going to type up the next bit. I haven’t actually written more than two chapters though.
