The King is Dead by the Decemberists was definitely my favourite album of 2011.

I have discovered a love for folk music, and I seem to have milk in my moustache.

I am slowly beginning to give up on various aspects of my social life.
Today I lodged my Australian citizenship application form.
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
Oi, oi, oi.

Things I like:
Girls with tattoos
The way candles flicker
My TARDIS lamp is now in my room. It was my favourite present, it was unique and very thoughtful.

Kings of Leon Live at the O2 London, England is an amazing film. Just watching the crowd of 20,000 sing the lyrics back to the band gives me chills.

I began writing my poem in blank verse tonight, it’s called Sarah and the Sea.

The Balrog reached the bridge. Gandalf stood in the middle of the span, leaning on the staff in his left hand, but in his other hand Glamdring gleamed, cold and white. His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings. It raised its whip, and the thongs whined and cracked. Fire came from its nostrils.

I will never sleep until midday ever again. I was tired, but now it feels as of I’ve wasted the day.
I haven’t watched Attack of the Clones in a long time, Natalie Portman in a torn outfit is always great to watch.
My Christmas has been perfect so far, so now I’m going to take myself off to bed since it is almost 03:30. I plan on watching Attack of the Clones later on today (after my sleep).

Far over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere break of day To seek the pale enchanted gold.
The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fell like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells.
For ancient king and elvish lord There many a gleaming golden hoard They shaped and wrought, and light they caught...

Last week I remembered a short story I wrote a long time ago, so I’m going to take that idea and attempt to write a poem in blank verse. I’ve been trying to write it for a while, but inspiration is a very fickle thing.

My dad comes home tomorrow after nearly four weeks of working away in Mackay. It will be good spending time together as a family.

If there is one thing that I miss about British weather, it’s the winter weather in the weeks before Christmas.
I’m going to watch the final episode of the first season of Sherlock before I hit the hay.

I finished Goliath earlier and helped put the Christmas tree up, the living room looks so cosy and festive.

We made love on the living room floor,
With the noise in the background from a televised war.
And in that deafening pleasure, I thought I heard someone say,
‘If we walk away, they walk away.’

Day 20 - Why is This Your Favourite Band?
The Killers are my favourite band because their music is always there whenever I need it.
On the way home I listened to Feist’s The Reminder. Fantastic.
