It’s that time of the year again! Christmas is coming, which means it’s time you better start your shopping if you haven’t already! Whether you’re buying gifts for someone else or looking for ideas of what’s good to get this year, here is my gift guide for the festive season this year.
Hey!
So for film night this time round I watched Vacation. It’s a remake, or sequel, or successor, or whatever you want to call it, from the original, National Lampoons Vacation. I love the original, and plenty of films from the original series which starred Chevy Chase, the best ones being the original, Christmas and European vacation in the series, and the Vegas one wasn’t too bad either. As with everything that gets remade, they just don’t make them like they used to, so although I wanted to watch this, I wasn’t holding my breath for it being brilliant.
So for my last film night I watched a really old film which I hadn’t seen before, it’s older than I am! I’m talking about Risky Business which stars Tom Cruise, and this was one of his first films back in 1983.
I have found a new favourite TV show!
So I got Amazon video a while back and was having a hunt for things to watch, and came across this show called Red Oaks. I hadn’t heard of it before, but it sounded like something I would enjoy, so I watched an episode and I loved it straight away!
It’s actually been around since 2014, but obviously new to me. They’ve finished season 2 and season 3 is just about to begin, and sadly it will be the last season, but I’ll save my sadness for when that time comes and just enjoy it for now 😀
I have watched the first season and I loved it. It is set in the 80s and centres around one boy called David who works at a posh country club in the Summer, and is a college student at NYU. He’s your average student who isn’t rich, still lives with his parents and doesn’t have a car. He’s a tennis coach at the country club, along with tennis pro and senior coach Nash.
It’s all about the characters though. His girlfriend also works at the club, as does one of his friends who also deals drugs on the side, and has a storyline with Misty, the lifeguard at the club.
Although David has a girlfriend he’s been developing a relationship with another girl who hangs around the club, who just so happens to be the rich president of the country club, while his girlfriend has been developing a relationship with Barry, a creepy photographer.
If you have Amazon Video you have to give this a watch! It’s so good with enjoyable storylines and characters. If you like coming of age stuff or TV set around 80s pop culture, this is it! 🙂

I got a SNES Mini! 😀
I am so happy that I was able to get one. Just like the NES Mini Classic which was released last year, Nintendo announced the Super Nintendo Classic Mini back in June, and I pre-ordered one with the hopes of getting it. But as you know with things like this, something can go wrong.
If you got one then you already know how fun it is, but if you haven’t here’s everything you need to know about it, including the unboxing.
Hey guys!
I hope you’ve had a great weekend so far. Last time I watched Now You See Me 2, and this weekend I watched The Take, aka Bastille Day which stars Idris Elba.
I’ve seen a few people talk about their EDC, which (apparently) is an acronym for Every Day Carry, i.e. the essentials that men walk around with in their daily life. What do you usually carry around? What can’t you leave the house without? I’ve done a few posts like this before, but I’ll have a bit of a refresh and show you what I carry, and it’s not really a lot! 😀
For some people they use this as a photo opportunity to show off all the crap they have, and try to wedge it into the photo so it looks good. For the usual lifestyle stuff, I don’t think you really need to carry a lot, not in Newcastle at least. I’ve seen a few people who talk about penknives and other things, I guess they’re American or live out in the country, because there’s no chance you need something like that in your actual every day life.
A few years ago I heard about the film Napoleon Dynamite but I had never got round to watching it. I recently discovered it was on Amazon Prime, so I decided it would be the perfect chance to watch it, so I did. WOW, it’s such a terrible film!
Have you seen those “Vote for Pedro” T-shirts? I saw them years ago, but never knew where they came from or what they were about. Well it’s to do with this film, and it has a cult following so those T-shirts are popular with the fans of this film. What’s it about and why is it so bad?
Hey guys!
I hope you’ve had a good weekend. Last week for my film night I watched The Edge Of Seventeen, and this time round I watched Now You See Me 2, the sequel to the film which I watched a few years back. The old gang are back together, the four horsemen, all except Henley who was played by Isla Fisher, who’s been replaced by Lula May who’s played by Lizzy Caplan. The film continues on from the previous one, with the remaining members of the Four Horsemen hiding out in New York City 18 months after getting past the FBI, with Dylan Rhodes who begins still an FBI agent and leader of the group.
Hey guys!
Autumn is here! It’s been getting darker and darker earlier and the weather has gotten much colder, even for the North East of England! 🙁 I’ll be getting out my jumpers, knits and Autumn/Winter clothes really soon, but for now, I’ve added a couple of new things which I’ve recently got.
First up I got a sweatshirt from Adidas Originals. I think that over the past year or two sweatshirts have became cool again.
