I can’t quite believe how quick this year has gone by! Looking back I’m amazed at what I got to do this year. Here are a couple of my highlights:

I got engaged! I love the ring Cristiano gave me. It’s got a ruby in the middle and 32 diamonds in the band; geeky, but not too obvious.

I went to the BAFTAS. I still adore the dress I got. I just wish I had another chance to wear it.

I finished a triathlon (well, one thirds of a triathlon, but still, it’s more than I’ve done before!)

I worked on FutureLearn and we launched in September! It’s so awesome to see actual people use something I’ve worked on.

I went on my first proper holiday in like 7 years. The hotel we got in Croatia was quiet and relaxing, just what we needed after such a busy year!

So what were your highlights of 2013?

I still haven’t finished the Wheel of Time series (and I’m at the point where I’m seriously wondering if I ever will), but it is one of the first fantasy series that I started reading. This necklace featuring the Wheel and the Great Serpent is awesome:

The necklace is available on ThinkGeek in bronze for $24.99 and in silver for $61.99.

I finally went to see Frozen yesterday and I loved it! One of my favourite moments of the movie is Idina Menzel’s rendition of Let It Go:

I can’t quite believe it’s halfway December already! The past few weeks have been so busy with various exciting things happening (which I should hare with you all soon!). Because of that I’ve missed a ton of cool trailers that got released; so many epic looking movies are coming next year. Here’s a roundup of all the awesomeness heading our way:

Jupiter Ascending

Woah. I’m not completely sure what’s going on in this trailer, but I so want to see this. Knowing the Wachowski’s it’s going to be unique in some way.

Release Date: 18, July 2014 (US), 25 July 2014 (UK)

Edge of Tomorrow

This looks awesome! Based on Oblivion, I’m wary of how original this will be, but it does look like a lot of fun. Emily Blunt looks badass and the whole sci-fi Groundhog Day feel to it could make it quite epic. Sidenote: hi Greenwhich, nice to see you again!

Release Date: 30 May 2014 (UK), 6 June 2014 (US)

Godzilla

GODZILLA!

Release Date: 16 May 2014 (UK, US)

300: Rise of an Empire

Yay for more kickass female characters! Eva Green looks amazing as Artemisia as does Lena Headey reprising her role as Queen Gorgo.

Release Date: 7 March 2014 (UK, US)

Noah

Darren Aronofsky is one of my favourite directors, so I’m curious to see his take on the Noah story.

Release Date: 28 March 2014 (UK, US)

Muppets Most Wanted

I liked the last Muppet movie. It wasn’t the best Muppet movie ever, but it had some great moments in it and it was fun to see the Muppets back on our screens. This latest movie seems to be the same; fun, but not the best movie ever.

Release Date: 28 March 2014 (UK)

Winter’s Tale

Watch this trailer till at least the 1:20 mark… Not what you were expecting, right?

Release Date: 21 February 2014 (UK)
