Lovefilm and Graduation Day

Recently Stuart signed up for Lovefilm, which is also accessible on his PS3, so we've been watching quite a lot of films on there.

We also get films on Blu-Ray discs sent to us. We saw Iron Man 1 and 2, Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,  and Ratatouille recently. Stuart's catching up on the Harry Potter films because the seventh film is out and he wants to see the earlier ones before we go to the cinema to see Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows.

Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was quite good. I prefer the first one, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, though. Prince Caspian had an awesome song when the credits came on, which I am now totally in love with, and have on repeat. It's a song by Regina Spektor, called The Call.



The lyrics are on the video, so I'm not going to bother posting the lyrics. But it's a truly gorgeous song and always makes me feel like crying.

ANYWAYS...

Graduation Day was yesterday and Stuart took the day off to see me graduate. It was bloody freezing, although not as bad as last week. In fact, it was nice and sunny, which was quite a change from the usual gloomy fog. We didn't stay long after the graduation ceremony, just long enough to take some pictures and then we left for home, where we had lunch and then promptly fell asleep because we were so tired.

We woke up around 5.30pm, just in time to go out for dinner. For a graduation celebration treat, Stuart took me to Sinatra's, which is a totally awesome restaurant just off Angel Row. I had lamb which was quite yummy, but Stuart's steak was gorgeous. I think we'll be going back there again, although maybe not too soon because it was rather pricey.

After dinner, we went to the cinema to see Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale. It's a Finnish film, but it has bits of English in it and is subtitled. It was quite good, although bordering on ridiculous, but still, I quite enjoyed it. When we got home, we watched an Icelandic Film called 101 Reykjavik, which came highly recommended from Stuart. It was interesting, to say the least, but it wasn't too bad, and it was pretty funny at some bits.

Stuart's got his Christmas work dinner tonight, so I'm going to have to scrounge around for some food, hehe. Holly was supposed to come up to Nottingham tonight but her plans fell through so I have nothing to do tonight. Stuart said he wasn't going to stay out late, but then again last time he said that, he came home very drunk at 5am. I really want to get out of the house for a bit, but I have to wait around for a delivery between 3pm and 4pm, so basically I can't go out.

Right. I'm off for a nice hot cup of tea. Hopefully there's something nice on TV.

Oh, and... ONLY 15 DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!!! :) :) :)
