Curly Hair, Been There: Paris Charles de Gaulle

So, if you didn't guess from the title, I'm bored in the airport.
 I have to say it's not a bad airport, it's massive and very bright and comfortable. There's lots to see and do, there's your standard airport chocolates and duty free, but there's also a screen across from me to play PS4 so the kids running around aren't annoying me too much.

I've exhausted things to do, I've been over schoolwork, listened to hours of music, looked in the shop, and now I'm bored and slightly uncomfortable from having sat in the same chair for the last two hours. My gate should be open in about twenty minutes, but they're still boarding the previous flight and my plane is delayed, so i reckon I'll be sat here a bit longer.

I have to say, I've never been more thankful for my headphones than right now. The fact that they're noise cancelling is usually lost on me when I'm home and it's quiet around me anyway, but here, it's making the environment a lot more bearable and I can easily turn on the microphone to see if they're mentioning my flight, and can hear it perfectly.

It's a nice airport, lots of colourful chairs and nice bright lampshades, although in this particular terminal there isn't a lot of choice in what to eat and drink. Either way, it's a big old airport, and definitely better than El Prat in Barcelona. The benefit of that airport being so small, however, is not getting lost. I mean, I didn't get lost here, because it's so well signposted, but I like the quiet and ease of El Prat.

Anyway, I'm trying to get through this mess of an airport by remembering that soon, I'll be home, and with my family; I'll see my boyfriend tomorrow, which honestly has got me through the last two months. I hate flying but I'm used to it now, and I'm more than excited for the result. Plus it's gonna be lovely and warm this weekend so it's all pretty perfect really!

Curly Hair, What's in There?: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

One of my favourite series, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, is ending next week. So sad, I know. And the last episode was very dramatic. So, I'm going to explore the events and how I think the series is going to end. If you haven't seen it, the show is the story of Rebecca Bunch (Rachel Bloom), a successful New York lawyer who decides to uproot her life to move to West Covina, California to follow a boy she dated at camp, Josh Chan (Vincent Rodriguez III). She gets a job at a law firm, makes friends and stalks Josh until she finds out he is actually engaged to Valencia (Gabrielle Ruiz), a girl he went to school with. Rebecca ends up going out with Josh's friend Greg (Santino Fontana/Skylar Astin- will explain later), who ends things with her to move and go to business school.

Eventually Rebecca decides that s...

Curly Hair, What's in There? The Haunting of Hill House

Curly Hair, What's in There?  is a segment that will explore the random topics that are always circling my mind, things I want to talk about or things I want to share. The Haunting of Hill House  I know, I'm a little bit behind the curve on this one. It's taken me a long time to get around to watching this Netflix original series, but boy was I glad when I did. I like horror and I like drama and this series has it all. It explores some really serious themes while at the same time being exciting and scary. The series is about the Crain family, their experience in the haunted Hill House, named after its first owners, and how it affects them for their whole lives. I have a lot of thoughts and opinions about this show, so be prepared. To keep it as simple as possible, I'm going to talk about my five favourite things about this show. This contains SPOILERS for The Haunting of Hill House 1. Olivia Crain Carla Gugino as Olivia Olivia is the mother of the C...
