"25" album is out!
After listening to "Hello" I was really sceptical, I've listened to the whole album only once to it's hard to make up my mind so soon, but one thing I know for sure - other songs are much better then the single promoting it. If you want to check it out, well, it's possible to find it somewhere on the Internet, but I don't encourage you to download it illegally. On the other hand the album is so expensive I can afford it only if I get it as a present for Christmas, so I had to look it up on the Internet even though I prefer to buy CDs. My favourite songs so far (yes, I've heard it once and I already have my favourites) are "Sweetest devotion", "Send my love" and "I miss you". Enjoy!

Did I miss something, or did Florence and the machine relase a new album? Yes, they did! It's called "how big, how blue, how beautiful" and it was released in may. Good thing I finally realised that.

Few days ago I was in our cafeteria, sipping coffee and pretending to be learning, when I heard "Delilah" and I loved it! I've heard some of her new songs over the past few months but I didn't really pay attention to it, shame on me! I spent last two evenings catching up on her work and I think it's great. She's so full of energy and yet so shy when she's being interviewed. Her voice is so powerful it's hard to believe it's coming from such a slim woman. If you haven't heard it already in Trójka, enjoy :

Did you get to see the new Bond movie?
There are so many diffrent opinions about this film among my friends, I have trouble telling you if it's worth seeing or not. To me it's great. Nothing compares to "Skyfall", which I adore, but still, it's one of the best Bond movies I've seen. (Not that I'm a specialist, I haven't seen all of them)
I don't want to talk about the ending as I don't want you to know exactly what happens, maybe you plan to see it next weekend, but I just want to say that I like it, the whole idea of "closure" ;)

Do you know who won WTA Tournament in Singapour five minutes ago? Yes, our Agnieszka!!!!!!!

I've decided to write this post after the final as I wanted to write about how excited I would be that she won, so apparently I felt what was coming ;)  But seriously, after this everlasting fight just to get to this tournament I thought that there was no way she was gonna get to semis. What is more, after losing two matches in the beginning of the tournament I was pretty sure she won't be able to beat Halep in two sets, not to mention Muguruza...anyway, I'm extremely happy, I spent last two hours jumping on a sofa, screaming and crying, swearing and laughing...what a beautiful match!

I know, Radwańska has a tough character, many people don't like her. I sometimes hate it when she seems mad at everything around her after losing the match, nevertheless you all have to admit that the way she's been playing over the last few years is extraordinary. She may have her worse days, but regardless of her small posture and tiny arms she is able to beat the strongest players (one day she will beat Serena, no doubt about that!).


(forgive me my mistakes, I'm so excited I don't even speak Polish correctly right now)

Adele is back!
I've been waiting for this moment for so long, I can't believe this day has come.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out her new single :

To be frank, I have mixed feelings about this song. She looks stunning, her voice sound better than ever, still something's bothering me. Maybe I have to listen to if few more times, or it takes time to like this song, but it's definitely not the same feeling I had when I heard "Rolling in the deep" of "Hometown glory". What is more, I love her down-to-earth attitude, the way she comes up on a stage and talks about how much her feet hurt and how manic it was for her to meet Beyonce, and now there she is, in the middle of a forest, like a model posing for a beauty magazine. I know it's a role she's playing in the video, maybe I exaggerate, and I know you probably hate me already for saying there's anything wrong about Adele, but I'm still waiting for her album (4 weeks and two days left!!!) and I still think she's wonderful.

Anyway, if you miss the "old Adele" as much as I do, here's something for you ;)

Did you get to see  "Everest" movie?
It's a new film that tells a story of the most tragic season on Everest.
I was afraid to see this American production, I would never want to watch the story of this great tragedy presented in a Holywood way, with many special effects and swift action. That's what it looked like in the trailer but fortunately "Everest" is not a complete failure.
The mountain is presented in a exceptionnaly detailed way. I always wanted to get a better idea of what this mountain looks like on the way to the top and that's what I got to see in this movie. I've read many descriptions of ledges or gutter ice, but I finally got a chance to see it in all its glory and it made me understand better every journey and accident I've read about in different books.
The only problem of this movie is that it's not that interesting for people who have never read anything about the accidents described there. I mean, surely, everyone understands that if a guy spends one night all by himself on the top of the mountain in the middle of a storm, it is not likely for him to get back to his tent.  But there is no explanation of the circumstances that made him stay there, no one says anything about the reason why there were no bottles with oxygen left that could have saved at least few people coming down to the camp...everything that made all this stories so touching and frustrating is not mentioned. It's the dark side of mountain climbing that should have been presented in a more clear way. If you want to see this movie, I recommend you reading "Dark Summit" first. It's a very interesting story of this terrible season on Everest, with many explanations and descriptions of what should have been done better and why so many people died that year. Not a very uplifting topic, but undoubtedly facinating.

Do you guys like tennis?
I used to play it for few years, but my arms are so weak right now that I can play no longer than 30 minutes. I still love watching it, though. That's why I've decided to read Agassi's autobiography "Open". My friend recommended it to me few years ago but I've never come across this book when I was in the library and somehow over the years I forgot about it. But 3 weeks ago I visited my friend in Warsaw and found this book on a flee market. The great thing is that I bought an English version, so that I don't miss out on anything that could have been lost in translation. Agassi is one of the best tennis players of all time, and one of the most controversial ones as well. I don't want to get into details as I would love for you to read this book, I just want to say that it's fascinating to read what tennis looks like from players' perspective.
