Bonjour Paris!

 
I saw the most gorgeous and rather sweet film the other day which I have been waiting with a bit of baited breath for some time. Woody Allen's latest flick Midnight in Paris was beautiful, sweet, quirky, and wonderfully original and probably one of the best advertisements for the real (and slightly underground) Paris away from all the cliche touristic aspects. The usual Allen-esque sudden plot twists for sure, but the fantasy and magic somehow seems so believable, or maybe its just a case of wanting it to be real, that you get sucked into this wonderful world of 1920's Paris - one of my favourite eras in history. The lifestyle, the romance, and the dresses! The DRESSES!!!

Just as Vicky Cristina Barcelona did for Barcelona, Midnight in Paris makes you want to be there (in the rain) as soon as the credits roll. A must see for every girl, no matter how unromantic!

Pressure's on!

So we're already into the semi-finals of the Rugby World Cup this weekend! My god, it's flown by at lightning speed! There was definitley a feeling of immense tension last Sunday in NZ during the match between Argentina and the All Blacks but we pulled through. And I think it really was all thanks to this man:

After losing, what many people consider our potential RWC hero, Dan Carter, he really stepped up his game and showed us what he is really made of! His quiet confidence is well impressive I think ;)

 I think this sums up the game pretty freakin' perfectly.

All Blacks vs Wallabies this weekend... can we do it? Let's hope so!
