M.I.A.

Apologies. I have been M.I.A. for a while now. Lots going on during these last months of 2011. Work is nuts, but that's nothing new. I'm still getting my studies done as well. So that eats up my time.

I have been getting out there! :D I managed to check a movie and some shows.

Real Steel, which I must say, I absolutely LOVED. I know people were making fun of it, calling it "Rock em Sock em robots", but it is nothing like that. It was endearing and very enjoyable. The story line was solid, and the action was perfect. Hugh Jackman is always great. :D This is definitely a fun family movie. I probably enjoyed this than any other movie recently.

I recently started watching the new U.S. version of X Factor, and I like it! :D I have catched a few episodes of the U.K. version, which was really good, and the U.S. version is better right now I must say. I missed Paula and Simon! My favorite contestants are Marcus and Drew. GO!

Homeland, a new series on Showtime, has enthralled me. I LOVE this show. It's suspenseful, and has a stellar cast. The handsome Damian Lewis and 90s gal Claire Danes. Both are awesome in this show. I believe its based on a European version of the series. It's created by a couple of X-Files series alumni, Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa, so of course its SPECTACULAR. :D I expect no less from those guys.

I'm also really enjoying the new season of Dexter. Last season was a bit dry.

I want to say congratulations to a couple of my friend's who are expecting children. :D

Also, one of my dear friends and co-workers just passed away. I miss her. She was one of a kind. RIP dear lady.

Life goes on. . . and I will blog more in the days to come. :D
