Dissertation hand in!

Almost over..

My dissertation is officially complete..now it's just lying on my floor happily waiting to be handed in on Wednesday. I suppose I could hand it in early but that would mean getting out of bed tomorrow and going out and that just can't be done I'm afraid! I'm looking forward to celebrating on Wednesday with the rest of the course. :)

I haven't blogged in quite a while as I've been so busy with work but as it all comes to an end I can hopefully blog more. I have one more deadline on May 19th and there's still quite a lot to do but I can't wait until it's all over! I'm going home on Thursday for the weekend so I'm hoping to get quite a bit done..and I shall also be visiting the Zoo so expect some pics!


As you can see from the post below I have had a review printed in Portsmouth News paper. I have yet to see it as I had to get my Aunty, who lives in Portsmouth, to send me a copy. I had no idea it was going to be published, I just thought it would be put online but when I couldn't find it for a few days I thought I would email and ask about it and it turns out it was printed. It's actually the first ever piece I've had published which is great, I hope I can do lots more gig reviews for them. At last I have something decent to go in my Portfolio!

Talking of portfolios and published work, I have been applying for jobs but still nothing has come out of it. I have applied for some work experience during the summer as well but I'm still waiting to hear back.

I am still posting on Styleclone.com and everything there is going really well. I've just come up with a new feature idea focusing on Fashion Bloggers and the first one to feature on the site is Claire from Sitting Pretty. After eBay announced their new fashion outlet I decided to ask Claire about her great eBay purchases, you can see the feature HERE and if you want to be featured then please let me know!


Yesterday turned out to be a fun evening. Vince's friend invited us for dinner so we both had a huge roast dinner each. Then we decided to go somewhere else for drinks which actually ended up turning into a few drinks plus a pizza and a sharing platter! I can't explain just how full up I was, but it was fun. :)

I'm not sure I have much else planned for the upcoming weeks apart from getting work out of the way. I need to start sorting out my things and packing it all up. I need to get rid of lots of stuff aswell and I've decided I'm going to donate the nicer stuff to a charity shop. Something I've never done before. :)

Until then, I shall keep you updated with whatever's going on. I've just purchased a Topshop Eyeliner and Eyeshadow duo so I shall post a review of those once I get them :) Until then..

Kill Hannah live at Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms 02/05/10

Having been around since the 1990s, it is about time Kill Hannah received some recognition, and despite the Wedgewood Rooms only being half full, those that showed up were a dedicated bunch to say the least.
Launching themselves into the arms of support acts The Lost Souls Club and My Passion, the crowd were well warmed up for Kill Hannah, who brought a brand of rock music so heavily inspired by The Cure that you'd be mistaken for thinking that Robert Smith's love-child was on stage.

The audience had clearly been with the band since their early days as they sang along poetically to the band's romantically-tinged tracks including Humming Birds The Size Of Bullets and Kennedy.

But it was tracks from their most recent albums Until There's Nothing Left Of Us and Wake Up The Sleepers that brought joy and emotion to frontman Mat Devine, who pointed this out throughout the show.

It was clear that Kill Hannah enjoyed their time on stage, and it didn't matter that the venue wasn't completely sold out as they played like their audience was the most important thing at that moment, the real key to the success of this gig.
