Black Ops and The 2012 Apocalypse (plus we review an album!!)

Guten Abend,

Recently I had a virtual action packed weekend. Plants Vs Zombies, COD Black Ops, Prototype; it was all played. Many swearwords were mentioned, many virtual men/plants died, but it made to be a good weekend. And when I wasn’t destroying things, I was listening to my favourite podcast, Stuff You Missed in History Class. If you haven’t listened to it, it’s one I recommend. Anyway, the topic they were talking about in this podcast was the 2012 ‘apocalypse’. So tonight we’ll delve into that and also I’ll be reviewing an album I recently downloaded: Nightflight by Kate Miller-Heidke.

So, 2012. It’s a topic that many discussed when the movie of the same name came (hahahaha that rhymes!!) out, and is the thing of many conversation debates; do you or don’t you think it will happen? Personally, I don’t. If Y2K didn’t happen, and 6.6.6 and 11.11.11, then what are the odds of the world coming to an end this year on December 21st?? I (and many scientists) believe that the world will end when the sun turns into a red giant and envelops us all. But that’s not going to be for millions or billions of years, so we’ve got nothing to worry about.

Now I know it was released less than a month ago here in Australia, but I downloaded it on Sunday, so here is my review of Nightflight: Mostly a haunting but beautiful album, but gems like I’ll Change Your Mind and Ride This Feeling show us that Kate still has her whimsical and bubbly side. Other notable songs like Fire and Iron and Your Friends Will Tell You Who You Are, which to me are some of my favourites, seem to tell a story, one that can be visualized clearly. Overall, it is an album worth listening to, 4.5 out of 5 stars.

So if you have any questions or would like to request a topic for me to cover let me know in the comments below
Auf Wiedershen, Vivmarie1407
