Bored girl is bored.

Enter random blog post about a random subject!

I'm literally waiting for plaster to dry (on my model for a TAFE project), so what better way to pass the time than to blog about something. I was thinking of just posting this on tumblr and making it short and snappy but hey, we all know that's just a dumb waste of time. Let's make something of this.

This post is about: My Favorite Voices on the Planet.

This blog post is brought to you by (in no particular order):


1. JJ Field

You might know his voice from movies such as Death on the Nile and Captain America. Just listen.




2. Armie Hammer 

You would have seen him twice in The Social Network. A little disappointing there's not really two of him, right? He probably has the most beautiful American accent in the world.




3. Emily Blunt

Best known for The Young Victoria and The Devil Wears Prada. A little trivia: she appeared in Death on the Nile alongside JJ Feild. I wish I sounded like this. And as I side note, I couldn't help myself and had to pick one of her interviews with Rupert Friend.




4. Alan Rickman

Obviously.




5. Emma Stone

If you are unfamiliar with films starring this girl, you need to crawl out from under your rock and watch Easy A and The Help, RIGHT NOW. I've heard some people say her voice is weird or that it's a put off, but it must be the American in me because I love it. Aaaaaand I'm so excited for this movie. SO EXCITED.



And speaking of Spiderman....

6. Andrew Garfield

Because I just love everything about him ok? And his little salute is so cute. *fangirls*

"The moon's an arrant thief, and her pale fire she snatches from the sun." ~ William Shakespeare

Why, oh why, oh why?

What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.

A couple short book reviews....

If you're looking for something to read I recommend Exposure by Mal Peet.

A very interesting take on Shakespeare's famous Othello. Love his writing style. It's very "in the moment", and pay attention to what Mr. Peet chooses NOT to tell. He lets your imagination do some work too.

I've also just finished The Book Thief. It was quite a lovely story. I cried in the final chapters, so I tip my hat to Markus Zusak for pulling me so far into his story that I loved the characters almost as much as Liesel did. It is a rare thing for me to cry when reading a book. I frequently cry in movies, but that's because the image is right there in front of me, easy to respond to. Markus Zusak does just that - writes so well you can see everything. The characters. The scenes. The colours. His writing style beautifully crafted. He has a wonderful voice.

So now I'm on to reading To Kill A Mockingbird. Let's hope I enjoy it just as much. I'm quite sure I will.
