Not as many things as last month but some great gems I have to say!

First up is seeing Dune: Part 1 in theatres for the first time in IMAX which was an absolutely spectacular experience and I am now an IMAX enthusiast. Catch me never shutting up about it and I’m literally watching P2 tonight,,,

My other new favourites are the first 2 seasons of True Detective aka yet another genius HBO crime show that wrecks me every time. Excellent storytelling if I ever saw it and if you’re also late to the party, you should get on this show!!!!

Other than that, I also went to see The Holdovers and Bob Marley: One Love, which were really great. Unfortunately, I saw The Beekeeper which was completely awful. I came home to find Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret on Netflix which I really enjoyed which made me feel a bit better. Also rewatched Love, Rosie and Twilight which were fun as always *sighs*

To end us off, switching it up by mentioning some music (not the TS abum though that is exciting!) but instead, The Wind by Cat Stevens which I heard not only in The Holdovers but also in Are You There God? which was a funny coincidence.

Ummm so yeah, I think I mentioned job hunting the last time we spoke? If not, I’m mentioning it now hehe

I had the privilege of doing some work with Tandem Collective which was an absolute blast!

And then during that I got offered a year-long internship position at Blue Weaver Marketing, which is a book marketing company but they do a bit of everything really and it’s really exciting. So I have a job now! Literally have been there ONE day so not much to share. I’m taking it as it comes and need to smooth out a schedule and the likes. But I’m super excited!!!

WHAT DID YOU GET UP TO IN FEBRUARY? DID YOU READ ANY GOOD BOOKS? WHICH WAS YOUR FAVOURITE? DID YOU WATCH ANY MOVIES? LET ME KNOW!
