Christmas + New Year + Snow
Well I feel a little bit sad that the holidays are over because I was having a really nice time. I managed to get a few DIY jobs done around the house - I installed a replacement bathroom fan and timer and I got the connections ready under the sink for a new dishwasher. I've also been working on my dissertation for college.
It was a good Christmas spent with family and a quiet, safe and warm New Year's Eve. Over Christmas I got to see Avatar, which was everything I hoped it would be.
I also made a couple of new videos for YouTube, redesigned my channel a little and managed to rack up over 100 new subscribers.
I'll be posting the videos to this blog, but here's a link to one of them. It's really short and sweet. It's a hamster playing a little bit of Beethoven's 5th Symphony before breaking into a boogie woogie walking base. It makes me laugh, hope it gets a smile from you.

I'll probably be going quiet for a couple of months while I am back at Uni and getting ready for exams, but hope to be back whenever there's an opportunity.
Happy New Decade

'Sounds Like Teen Spirit' - Review
I have now seen 'Sounds Like Teen Spirit' four times. I'll never forget the first time, it was at a preview screening in London's Soho and I had taken a break from my revision for a crucial exam, failure of which would have caused me to lose my place on my law degree. I was feeling a nervous sense of anticipation about the exam, but, I was curious to find out more about this film after seeing a snippet of it on film '09. My curiosity and general interest in film won out.
I was expecting something a bit like 'Little Miss Sunshine', and this is a good comparison to start with, except that 'Sounds Like Teen Spirit' is a documentary. In fact it is a 'popumentary' by talented new director Jamie Johnson about the Junior Eurovision song contest. It charts the fortunes of several of the young contestants. It differs, too, from 'Little Miss Sunshine' in that the film is about the positive aspects of the contest.
Junior Eurovision is the child of the grown-up version which is now the most watched non-sporting event in the world. Each country selects it's entry from a number of hopefuls. Some of the acts are aimed more at the Tweenagers but there are also some really serious acts who would be appealing to a more mature audience.
It's great to follow their stories. I found myself experiencing butterflies in my stomach along with the young performers as they tried to deal with their nerves ahead of the big performance (after all in a few days time I would be sitting the big exam and facing the music myself).
It is an incredibly moving documentary that will win your heart. I noticed several of my hard-nosed journalist colleagues sobbing quietly during the uplifting and touching ending.
Another reason that I will never forget the preview screening of 'Sounds Like Teen Spirit' is that the director Jamie Johnson was there and he gave a little speech before the start of the film. After the film I went up to speak to him and I asked him questions about the type of camera that he had used and congratulated him on a film well made.
Anyway that was the first time but the other three viewings came after receiving a copy of the DVD for this review. The second time, I watched it with my Mum, the third time I watched it with my friend Hara and I just saw it again now in preparation for this review. It remains fresh, interesting and engaging.
So for that reason I recommend all my friends to grab a copy of the DVD and enjoy it for themselves.
'Sounds Like Teen Spirit' released on DVD from 14th September 2009.
p.s.
Oh and regular readers of domtube.blogspot.com will know that I did actually pass the exam and in a few days time I'll be continuing with the degree!
