mcalex's abode

So I went to see the NYE fireworks in North Sydney but I was late and they'd closed the gates!!! Fortunately they reopened them and I managed to dash through... this year, derry667 and I were joined by tipper_green and her parents. What a treat.

Unfortunately it's raining a lot so it's hard to take good pictures! But I took one at school just a few days ago.



My predecessor and her bf have finally left. It's weird suddenly being alone in the apartment after having someone around on and off for 2 weeks! I got used to them around and now it kinda feels lonely again.

I spent yesterday in the big city, deciding to treat myself to some movies. I actually really enjoyed Battleship; though I had no idea who was in it so I was pleasantly surprised that I loved it! I also saw the latest Titans movie with Sam Worthington... though I didn't really enjoy it that much. It just lacked something the original had. But I was surprised because the cast were pretty impressive! I recognised Bill Nighy and thought, "What's he doing in this movie?".

I'm in Taiwan next week so I get to see Avengers in English next week!!! Japan isn't showing Avengers till August and I'll be gone by then. Speaking of being gone, I have to pick my departure date and I honestly can't decide! It feels so final but in just 3 months' time I will leave this apartment. People here don't realise that I'm probably not going to see them anymore... for me each time I see my everyone, I know that it's nearing the end!

Shows-wise, I started watching Scandal and am loving it! I love the characters and the lead female just rubs me the right way. I like her and I like the mystery of the show!!! Is anyone else watching it?
