Rabbit Hole

 This film from 2010, directed by John Cameron Mitchell and written by David Lindsay- Abaire, shows different ways of the process of grieving. The story follows the couple Becca (Nicole Kidman) and Howie (Aaron Eckhart) after the loss of their son.

Their son was killed in a car accident where he was just running after his dog and crossed the road. Here a young man named Jason is driving down the street and is unable to stop.

The focus is on the grieving process of Becca, Howie and Jason after eight months after the accident.

Howie’s process is to keep every memory of his son alive: his toys, his clothes, videos of him, and even his fingerprints.  He has a need to feel his son around him, which is a problem when his wife box up all of her sons things and even donate his clothes. Howie feels that Becca is trying to erase their son away from their lives, and looses it when Becca accidently deletes a video of him on Howie’s phone. Becca is a housewife, she has to look at her son’s belongings everyday and because that she feels she can’t move on and tells Howie that she wants them to find another house.

Howie convinces Becca that they should try group therapy to meet other people in the same situation. Listening to others talking about their loved once being with God and that he needed another angel and it’s all a part of Gods plan, gets Becca annoyed so she leaves and tells Howie, she wont go back there.

Becca’s sister, Izzy reveals that she is pregnant and has known it for weeks, feeling she it was a bad time and therefor didn’t tell Becca. Becca shows that she is happy for her and that she shouldn’t feel like that, even though deep down shows the unfairness of it all.

Becca absence herself from Howie, who tries to be intimate with her, which makes him finds comfort with Gabby from the group therapy, though stating that this is just a friendship, as he loves his wife. 

Becca is out driving and sees Jason. She follows him to the library, curious to what he is doing there, she finds the book he turned back in and borrows it. She finds it is about parallel worlds. She reads the book and later starts meeting Jason at the park, and finds out that he was doing some research for a comic he was making. He tells her that she can read it when it is done, if she’d like to.

Meeting Jason several times in the park is Becca’s way of being comforted. Jason doesn’t tell her to move on, he apologize and she let him know that they don’t blame him.

Howie finds out that Becca has been meeting Jason, when he shows up at their house to give Becca his comic book that he has finished. Howie feels betrayed. This makes him lie to his wife telling her he’s going to the group therapy, but is really meeting up with Gabby to show affection. When he gets to her, he can’t pull through with it and goes back home only to find that Becca is not home.

Becca has read the comic book and wants to give it back to Jason. The comic is how we see Jason’s grieving. He made a story where the boy loses his father, and travel through different parallel worlds to find him and sees that in other worlds he is alive.

A conversation between Jason and Becca gives us the idea that his father is dead and Becca believes that the story evolves around the death of his father. The story shows us not only how he wish his father would be alive in another parallel world, but also how he tries to release the pressure of guilt by convincing himself with the thought that the boy he killed is alive in another universe.  This thought is the only healing Becca has found consolation with.

“And so this is just the sad version of us...

Somewhere out there I'm having a good time. ”

Howie and Becca decide to fake it. They will throw a party for some friends and family and show them that they are moving on and appreciate the people around them.  Taking the steps of healing together.

Fail

So I failed. In August I wrote a lists of goals that I would have to Christmas to complete. One of the goals was to finish my script.

In September 2013 I moved from Norway to Southampton, England to finish my Bachelor degree in Film and Television at Southampton Solent University (SSU). As my Major Project (MP) I chose to write a screenplay for a 30min short (so roughly 30 pages) in stead of writing the script of a 10min short and having to produce it. As I was leaning more on becoming a screenwriter it was an easy choice.

I developed a script with the working title "RED" (it still has that title). Nine months later 10 months later I was done at SSU and moved back home to Norway, and got my grade for the MP, an A. I knew my tutor in MP liked my script, because he several times told me to tell him when I wanted to produce it. This gave me a lot of confident and chose to develop that same script from a short to a feature film. I started doing this in August, and though I already had a beginning, middle and and end, I had to change a lot though the story still was the same. This was very challenging and it still is! I've had good writing days, but even more horrible days where I've only been able to stare at the screen and feeling all empty in that big head of mine. I wrote 20 pages in a day once....ONCE! The next day everything was gone, and haven't written anything since (6.Dec) Now I know that when I first start writing... I should never stop and just stay up for a couple of days....Well anyway, so here I am, the day before Christmas (We celebrate on the 24th Dec, with Christmas dinner and presents) and I still have 30 pages to go.... Merry Christmas everybody!

I, Frankenstein

This film gives me the same feeling I got when I watched Van Helsing (2004, damn, that's a long time ago)  Now I liked Van Helsing, could be because of Hugh Jackman or just because I love the classics Dracula, The Wolfman, Frankenstein and all that, and love seeing different versions that people come up with. I love monsters. Though a lot about Van Helsing was like "Whaaaaaaat?" Well anyway...

The Frankenstein monster is suppose to be... I guess freakish looking, an abomination. But in I, Frankenstein the monster is played by Aaron Eckhart,  who is always doing a good job in my eyes and is someone I'd like to see more of. Aaron (Yeah we're totally on first name basis, sure) portray the Frankenstein monster as a very good looking monster (which isn't really Aaron's fault... he's just naturally good looking), with no soul (not Aaron, but the monster or Adam), but whom (do people still say whom?) you want to root for. How it's not his fault that he is a monster, but the society... well I guess mostly V. Frankenstein's fault as he made him and then was like "Yeah I don't like it... I am just gonna get rid of it." Victor was asking for it.

I like what the female scientist Terra (of course there's a female getting really attached to the "monster" It's Beauty and Beast all over again...just better because the Beast still looks like a "beast") Now, Terra says: "You're only a monster if you behave like one." That's true, and he obviously needed to be told that.

Let's move on to other parts of the film, such as the demons and the gargoyles. Bill Nighy is doing a great job as prince Naberious, he nailed it. Reminds me of his Victor in Underworld, which isn't weird since it's the same producers, which I didn't know until I just saw it on the poster right now. I should have known though.  Back to the demons. The demons basically wants to rule the world and needs the help of Adam (monster), Adam on the other hand is more on his own side, but is leaning towards the gargoyles. I think the best about the gargoyles is how they turn from stone to human, that is pretty well done, but the whole war between the demons and the gargoyles I think is weird. Especially when the demons storm the cathedral and the gargoyles kills a lot of them, which means a lot of that descend light their soul do and what.... NO human can see that? Are they invisible for humans? Was this mentioned in the film, because I've seen it three times and I can't remember that. Someone has to have seen it.. People are not THAT blind...or deaf. And this descend and ascend thing they use, it just have Supernatural all written over it.


A plus about the movie is that it doesn't focus on the how he was made which most of the Frankenstein movies do. Just a little part of how it all began and then move on, which is good. The storyline could have been worked on... a lot.

And the scars on Adam's body could have been more visible. On the picture to the right, you can clearly see the scars, however most of the scenes they aren't really visible, which is a shame, because they are really cool looking scars. The scars on his body should have been even more grotesque.

Another thing that I do like though is how they have made some parts of his face in a green tone. Such as around the eyes on the cheek bones. Gives it more a corpse-like look.

The movie has been butchered and I do understand that. But it's one of those films that you can just watch again and again (that's how it is for me anyway) Maybe because I see a lot of potential and see what I would have done different, the same with Van Helsing. However I really like the casting they did for this movie.

A lot to work on, but fun to watch.

Pitching

While working at Flimmer Film, I also had to write a screenplay for a short film. I used my easter holiday to do that. In the beginning I had a bit of a problem starting, because I wanted to write about bullying. And the first few stories was just so dark and sad and I had problems writing an end to it, then I was thinking about short films and how they tend to be: Weird and a bit comical. So still wrote about bullying, but came up with and idea that wasn't so dark and sad but that showed two little kids standing up for not only themselves, but for others. My goal being that people who see or hear bullying shouldn't just walk away and pretend they never saw it, but take action.

So today we had to pitch our screenplays in front of another film class plus our teacher and David McHenry (set designer) I hate standing in front of a crowd. I get so nervous every time I feel sick. The pitching went well, though it didn't get picked out, I did get some points for it, which I am happy for. Every time we pitch, the others rank the stories they like and the one with most points get chosen. Two film get chosen to be the ones we'll make for our exam. So after the pitching I feel exhausted. Put in a way, I don't really mind doing it, it's just the wait that is horrible, not the actual pitching.

Internship

For the last four weeks (not including easter) I have been working at Flimmer Film in Bergen as an internship. Here we got to see how a production company in Bergen works, and the people here are really nice and give us projects to do on things they are working with. Been doing some transcribing for the first time which I thought was an okay job to do, even though you sometimes can get annoyed at the person talking with all his/hers uhms and aaaahs and uuuuhs. I also got to edit a scene in a documentary about death they were doing which was great, because I've done little editing even though I like it, so I also learned a lot the weeks I was here. Unfortunately I lost a whole week because I was home sick. I am now on the last day here and even though I am looking forward to go back to school, I am gonna miss this place where I felt very welcomed.

Filmschool

Since I was a kid I have always loved films. I really wanted to become an actress, but because of my big shyness I didn't do anything to make that dream become true. I had very little faith in myself. When I got older I would always get comments that I must have been going to a drama class, which I didn't...for some reason I didn't choose any creativity courses at "high school"(Videregående)...which wasn't very smart of me...

BUT in 2011 I started on the Norwegian School of Creativity (Norges Kreative Fagskole) where I took the course Film. I found out that if I couldn't make myself be infront of the camera...then why not be behind it! 

I really have to thank my boyfriend for helping me a bunch with my low self-esteem, he made me believe in myself and that I should do anything to follow my dream. So I did! Well I got one step closer at least... 

The first year was really great, we did a lot of productions and we evolved through everyone of them. At this stage I could already say that camera wasn't quite my thing. Screenplay on the other hand was. I have always loved writing stories so writing screenplays was just up my alley. 

My second year, which is now actually, is where I got a taste for being a producer. On our projects I was always the producers because everybody else wanted to do the technical stuff and not have to worry about the paperwork... Me on the other hand sort of... like paperwork. Well film paperwork. Getting actors, locations, fixing the contracts, getting everything we needed and cheap or...for free. And I actually enjoy that. But I think I still have A LOT to learn.

Now that I know my two places in film (writer, producer) it easier to focus and work hard for it. 

Film is a tough business, and I really hope I'll make it.

The Nutrilett Diet: Day 5

12.23

Today I was really tired and the only thing that dragged me out of bed was my cat who wanted to get out and do whatever cats do when they’re outside. (9.00am) And since I was already up I forced myself not to return to bed, but to “make” breakfast which was a Caramel/Toffee bar.  So I got my camera and started shooting and eating. Sometimes I get cravings for stuff I didn’t really eat much before, like chips.

And now (three and a half hours later) I am having some fruit which consist of an apple and a Clementine.

17.40

Had another bar, but this time it was the Dark Chocolate one. I had that around 15.00.

Also had one of those chocolate shakes again… but I am not tired of the diet, not yet anyway. This was around 18.00-ish. I then had a toffee bar 22.30. I was hungry when I went to bed last night, and I couldn’t sleep, so I hope this will help.

The Nutrilett Diet: Day 4

10.00 am

Today started very well. I actually managed to get out of bed 8.30! So I had my Chocolate shake about 9.00. I don’t feel tired so I am going to try to do some workout. I did also weigh myself today and I have apparently gone done 3 kg since Sunday…

They’re cutting us off the water today for a couple of hours, so I have been filling up bottles with water, or else I can’t have my shakes! And I am drinking a lot of water, which also makes me go to the toilet a lot…. Hope they won’t hold the water too long!

13.15

I did manage to work out a bit! So that’s positive! I had lunch 12.30 so this is going well I think. I might actually have all five portions today + some extra fruit.

16.45

Went for the “Chicken” soup today for dinner. Felt a bit sick after, so I think I am just going to drop that one. Stick to my Chocolate shakes and bars. If I can…

22.34

Went for a walk and had a chocolate shake again at 19.30 and some fruits just now, grapes and Clementine NOM. So I didn't have all my five portions but at least I had four.

The Nutrilett Diet: Day 1-3

So I am on a diet now where I only eat/ drink Nutrilett products for two weeks. I am I crazy? Can a person who gives up easily (like me) really live on Nutrilett meals for fourteen days? Let’s find out.

 I have already done it for three days now. At first I was hungry all the time, but not so much anymore. So far I have only been drinking the Nutrilett shake with the taste of chocolate, The Creamy Chicken soup and the dark chocolate bar. You’re suppose to have 5 bags of the product each day, but I’ve been eating less, which is not good, because now I just feel tired all the time. Even writing this is hard work. Also my mood is not good. I easily get angry and depressed. Not very depressed, but enough :P  I also get easily stressed. This just sounds negative, but it’s not too bad! And I am guessing the three- four first days will be like this. However I am really surprised that I haven’t been tempted to drink any soda or eat candy….or MEAT. Okay have to say that proper food is actually more tempting than soda or candy/snacks, which is for me very weird. I am a person who’s not really a food person; I mean I enjoy good food, but I rather slack on the dinner so I can eat more chocolate. That’s the person I am…or was…

 I am also filming it, which is to great help for me to actually do this (Might be a film when I am done). It’s not easy to smell actual food every day, but so far so good. I also eat fruit. On the package it says that it’s okay to eat vegetables so I hope it goes for fruit too, because I need something sweet. I also weight my fruit so I know how many calories I eat. So far I don’t eat more than 500 kcal (the fruit and the Nutriletts) which is too little. Especially now that I am going to do some workout too.  Been getting up late too, which I think answers for my lack of eating. I shall force myself out of bed earlier so I can fill my day with all of the five portions.

So far my favorite is the Dark Chocolate bar, because it actually tastes like chocolate. The chocolate shake and the chicken soup is not bad either, but taste more powder-like :P especially the soup... I haven’t tried much of the other tastes, because our nearest shop only has the chocolate shake and the chicken soup. They did have a toffee bar but I am not really a toffee person I think. But I guess I’ll have to try that one too…or all that I can get my hands on.

Well it’s time to shut up and sleep! :D Hope I get my butt out of bed early tomorrow...

RED DEAD REDEMPTION

Is awesome. I got it when it came out, which is like half a year ago or something, and since then it has been my top game. I just LOVE it! Lately I’ve been playing it online, and I guess I can say that I am very very addicted to it I didn’t have a microphone though in the beginning, but it only took a day after I’d started playing online, that I bought one. And I am really glad I did! It’s soooo much fun :D Especially if you’re playing with others who also got a microphone ^^

RED DEAD REDEMPTION: UNDEAD NIGHTMARE: Is also awesome. It was bit scary in the beginning :P But after a while, you get used to all the zombies coming up from the ground… Not sure if that’s a good thing, but hey! :D John Marston is awesome!

DEADWOOD

Is the new series I've been watching. I bought first season because my brother said he thought that was a series I'd like. I am a fan of True Blood, and since both of them are from  HBO I thought I'd give it a try. ( Also of course because of all the Red Dead R playing…which actually lead me to watch spaghetti westerns :P ) And I really really liked it! It was funny, action and a bit of romance, and very sort of..chilled. It didn’t take long time before I bought the second season. And I am done with that too. Now I need the third season :P But I thought it’d be a good idea to wait after Christmas… because I might get it then : ) Well it’s on my list of whishes anyway : ) Also done a drawing of one of the Characters : Seth Bullock (Timothy Olyphant)  http://nindyr.deviantart.com/

Halloween

I was on a Halloween party on Saturday, and it was great! :D I was a vampire, who actually looked like she was spat out from the 90's :p The party was in a small bedsit, and didn't have windows, so it was the perfect place. we decorated with some bats, spiderwebs and skulls. The place was already very very dusty, so that was just perfect. Was a bit crowded in there in the end with about 15-20 persons, but all went well. I drank a bottle of Jägermeister, something I am never ever gonna do again! At 03.00 AM me and a friend went to buy something to eat, and she was dressed as a sad clown, so I went through town on a Saturday along with a sad clown... Not many can say that... So she got a few looks on the way xD

 Sunday, the day of Halloween, I was on my way home from the party. I felt sick, I was hungry, and I really needed to use the bathroom. But since all my senses were down, I managed to look at the bus schedule all wrong, and had to wait for the bus for over half an hour (I know that's not very long, but when you're having a really bad hangover, 30/40 minutes feels like forever! :p But I had music, so it wasn't too bad :p Before I got home I went to Shell (gas station) and bought a hamburger which was  THE BEST HAMBURGER I'V EVER HAD! xD I met my brother there, and we walk together home to my mum (Family day on Sundays) where I pretty much looked like a zombie, or if as my ending was near x) I couldn't do anything! Even watching a movie was difficult! xD So Jäger, never agian!

And THAT was my weekend :)

There’s been a long time since I’ve written anything here, and a lot of films have been watched at the cinema :P So this post is going to be about them

Let’s start with.

Avatar: Everybody had who had seen it (I was quite late :P) said that it was awesome and wonderful and it was the best film ever. So I was really looking forward to see it and had big expectations about it. And yeah I did like it, it was a wonderful film, the effects was awesome….but it wasn’t THAT good, not the best film ever, But it was good. I guess I thought it would be more…action or something, it just wasn’t as good as I thought it to be, since people had told me that James Cameron had used 12 years to get this film right… So, the effects are awesome and the history is good.

Sherlock Holmes: I must say I did enjoy this film more than with Avatar, quite different films though. I really liked Sherlock Holmes. Robert Downy Jr. is one of my favorite actors and I think he played his part brilliantly :D I myself have never been a huge fan of Jude Law, but I did like him in this one (might be because I haven’t watched many films with him in) I really liked the how they’d filmed it, and I just LOVE the music <3 It’s awesome :D

It’s Complicated: Yes, I’ve watched this one as well, and I must say, it was quite alright. It’s one of those films you watch when you need a little break from action and thrillers. Never been a fan of Alec Baldwin, but he did okay in this one :P Meryl Streep played her character, Jane,  quite well, but then again, she’s a good actress. It was quite funny, but I’d believe people in ages around 40-60 would like it better.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus: This is quite a weird film :P So I loved it! :D I like weird :P It’s Heath Ledgers last film and it’s awesome. It’s like….difficult to explain but…I’d say, beautiful. A masterpiece of weirdness :D It was like watching art. Amazing! 

Valentine’s day: Ehm...again, a film you watch when you need a break from other films :P I thought it would be very dull and….shit to be honest, but there was actually some funny parts in it! :O So it was okay…not a torture to watch or anything xD

That’s the films I’ve been watching at the cinema :P Have probably forgot some films….hmmm…

So that’s what I think of the films: Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, It’s Complicated, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and Valentine’s Day. 

The End Of Time

Two weeks ago I saw 'Doctor Who: 'The End Of Time: Part 1'' That was emotional! xD I thought the episode was brilliant, but didn't like that it was one of the last episode with David Tennant casting as The Doctor. Cuz he's just been brilliant as The Doctor and I think that he at least stay for the next season. But David had made up his mind and have left Doctor Who. When I heard it I thought: 'That suck!' though David had good reasons for leaving. Like that: Russell T. Davis would stop writing, He didn't wanted his job to feel like...well a job. And I sort of get that. Well, back to 'The End Of Time: Part 1'... It was both emotional and funny :) I am not gonna write about what happens, in case if people haven't seen it... Which sort of makes no reason why this blog exist :p Well anyway, after watching this episode I was glad I only had to wait a week for the next one.

'The End Of Time: Part 2'. When I watched this I had my new Converse shoes (which I got for christmas, bought in London C: )on and my feet tucked up in the sofa. the episode was brilliant (well duh!) and I couldn't get out of my head that the lovely Doctor was gonna change soon! :C (bad times) And then it happen! Luckily for me I wasn't alone and got to hold my mates hand at the time when The Doctor regenerated and became the Eleventh :C It was good to have someone who could console me while I began to cry at the very last sentence The Tenth Doctor said. And the Ood song didn't help! (the song was sooo sad) :'C

There was actually some points where I thought maybe it would be better if The Doctor died as him, in stead of regenerate! Then after that, I thought: 'Oh don't be stupid! Maybe Matt will be a good Doctor! well maybe not as great, brilliant, awesome, spectacular as David... but a good one.' Okay, I think I am gonna stop now :p

Bad Wolf Bay

Doctor Who is the best Sci-Fi series I’ve ever seen (Not that I’ve watched many Sci-Fi series... well X-Files, which is also awesome.) I just LOVE it! It’s brilliant :D But there’s something I want to make clear of, and that is the second series the ‘Doomsday’ episode.

Because I am from Norway, and they mention Norway in that episode. Well more than mention it, they where there I guess. Bad Wolf Bay is a beach outside Bergen (Where I live :D) in a parallel world. And Rose Tyler says the name in Norwegian, ‘Dårlig ulv stranden’.

When I watched the episode, I only understood the two last words. I had to watch it again and again to realize what she was saying :P The way she says it sounds like old Norweigan ‘dar ligg’, which would mean ‘there lies’. And then I understood that it was ‘dårlig’ which means bad, but here lays the mistake, the error. Because it doesn’t mean bad as in the way they wanted, as a bad wolf.

‘Dårlig’ means if you’re bad at something like… painting or… football, and not that you’re a bad person, or in this case…a wolf :D So the correct line would be: Slemme ulv stranden. Because when you’re a bad person you’re ‘slem’. But then again, if they had used the correct word, then the Doctor wouldn’t be able to respond with a ‘ Dalek?!’ when Rose says the name :)

Well anyway, just needed to get it off my chest :P
I loved this episode! First of all because they used Norway instead of Sweden, and Bergen instead of Oslo which is the capitol city in Norway… Good Times :D

Nina.

Not our ginger snap town!

Last night someone broke in to our yearly ginger snap town and smashed about 1000 ginger snap houses! People like that just makes me angry, and it's so pathetic too! Why do something like this. And think of all those children who made the houses! I really do hope they regret what they've done and come out and say they're sorry. If they do get caught, they wont get in trouble which sort of sucks... It was due to open on Friday (Bergen, Norway), but now, we'll just have to wait a little longer I guess. People have to make a new ginger snap town... I want to film it when it's ready, and maybe put it on my youtube channel... yeah.. that channel really needs a video now :P Anyway, stupid-ginger-snap-smashers, go name yourselves! >:C

Movies I've just seen...

I went to the cinema today and saw 2012. I liked it, I give it 4,5 of 6. It was a bit overdone, but then again, it was the end of the world :P There was also drama of course, and a bit predicted, but I did had a big clump in the back of my throat through half of the movie... and there was some times that I almost shed a tear... That wasn't a good line, so I am just going to move on... It was also some humor in it, which I liked :) And many scenes were awesome! And some parts of with made me think of Doctor Who... but I pretty much always think about it because I am... weird. Or just a fan :P Well anyway, it lasted about 2 hours 30 minutes but the time is worth it :)

On Monday 16.11 I also was at the cinema and watched 'Law Abiding Citizen'. If you haven't seen it, and it's still on the cinema near you (lame) then go and see it! :D I thought it was awesome! I really liked it and Gerard Butler is really good in this one... well he was also good in 'Gamer', '300', and so on. Well, I give it 5 of 6 :D The killing scenes was just awesome and brilliant! :D So go watch it! :D

The Waiting...

I was so happy when I heard that the new episode of Doctor Who (The waters of Mars)was coming up 15th November. I didn't got to see it that day though (I don't have BBC >:C), so I saw it the day after. And the episode was just BRILLIANT! The Doctor's comments was on top and everything was great (Even though I had to restart my laptop because everything just froze...) And then I was thinking, it's been six months since Planet of the dead was released, SIX MONTHS! So it was six months since my birthday too :p Well anyway, and now we have to wait another month... like we haven't waited enough.. But the again Doctor Who is worth the waiting, and especially when that means that David Tennant will be the Doctor a little longer :D :P

I know it's pathetic, but I just KNOW I am gonna cry on the last episode!

Fantasy and Christmas Spirit

I was with some friends of mine tonight, and we played Fantasy (the board game), where you can mime and draw for the ones on you team. And have to say the game is brilliant, even if there are some of the words that is impossible to either mime or draw! But that's what makes it funnier :p And it's so much fun when you try to mime the easiest word in the whole universe, but your team mates thinks is something really difficult and is so far off. And you just get more and more frustrating and your hands waves all over the place! There is always fun with people getting angry and being such bad losers :D

While we played we also ate some satsumas... really good ones! I ate about four of them... And that brings me to something else, Satsuma = Christmas. I feel like Christmas comes earlier and earlier every year. I mean, already in September the christmas-cookie-man (or as we call them: Kakemenn) they're in the store! And then the Christmas soda, and chocolate and...well everything I guess. It's just so wrong! Because the Christmas spirit comes to early and when The Night come it's gone... There's just no Christmas Spirit left... I think it's a bit sad... Of course, it doesn't happen to everyone, but there has been a long time ago I really had the Christmas Spirit on top on the day, which is the 24th of December for me.
