the great return of Breaking Bad.

So, Breaking bloody Bad is back, i have been waiting SO LONG for this, and by "so long", i mean the exact same length of time as everyone else. It just feels like its been forever. Admitedly, i never gave it a thought when it first started, i dont think i even knew it existed to be honest. But my boyfriend talked me into watching it one night, and after the first couple of episodes i was hooked. (which he was oh so smug about for being right) I went through every episode in probably under 2 months, and since then I've been itching for series 5 to start. AND IT FINALLY DID. YAY. It did not disappoint, not one tiny bit, it was an excellent start to the final series, i literally went "owwwhh nooo" when the episode ended. 

Bryan Cranston is in my opinion one of the best actors I've seen in a long time. I loved him as Hal in Malcolm in the Middle, (one of my favourite ever shows). Obviously, Walter White couldn't be a more opposing character, but he plays it just as perfectly. His ability to play the insane dysfunctional father and a meth drug lord proves to me he has a great deal of talent. I've been seeing his name in a lot of new movies and i cant wait to see what else he can do. Infact i will probably be adding him to my list of favourite old dude hotties i would totally do. I mean come on, check out that sexy ginger beard. 

 If for some insane reason you havent seen Breaking Bad, i IMPLORE YOU, do it, DO IT NOW. Holy balls i cant wait for the next episode. 

Alan Partridge and Intergalactic Snuggly Friends.

Afternoon! Last night i watched the much awaited, Alan Partridge, Welcome to the places of my life. I am glad to report it did not disappoint, but then again i was never expecting it to. I must admit, i only first got into Alan Partridge late last year, but i adore him, and i have been so excited about the new shows since i heard they were in production. Anyway, if you havent seen the new episode, or any Alan episodes, stop buggering around and watch it.

(check out how psyched Boux was about Alan)

Also, yesterday i added a little button to the blog, linking to my lovely friend Ellen's Etsy shop, Bloofbird! She hand makes with eco-friendly materials, these adorable little intergalactic and robotic snuggly friends. You can now get free-shipping with your Bloofbird orders when you use the discount code BOUXWHOFS at checkout! Her work is adorable and you should definitely check it out, anyone who appreciates the loveliness of space age cuddles need one of these guys.

awkward first post

I have been totally dreading writing this, the first kind of post. i've been wondering how i should write it, i suppose i should explain what i want to do with this blog, hopefully without it seeming like an incredibly dull statement of intent.

So, basically, this blog is mainly a place for me to showcase my art. I'm hoping it will help me keep track of my work and my method. I have a tendency to get sidetracked, usually by watching marathon amounts of TV shows, always a bad idea. I want a place to display my work, share it, and involve people. I often like to do illustrative portraits to keep me in practice, with this i can expand who i include.

Obviously, as well as all that, i am going to be posting lots of pictures of my cats, and squeeing about how cute they all are. I love cooking and baking, so i will be sharing some of my recipes and photos of things i want to eat. I am also a serial internet window-shopper, so i'll probably post plenty of links to things i wish i had. I love looking for other artists, so i'll definitely post lots about artists I'm currently wishing i was as good as, and i like i said previously, i often partake in marathon TV watching, so i'll probably be babbling on about shows I'm watching and films i have only just seen. Prior notice, I'm usually extremely late on the bus for most things, so i'll probably be reviewing that new movie Inception some time in the year 2014.

Well, i guess that is my plan for this blog, but who knows what direction it will take.
