The Martian has a stellar cast and a compelling premise. Zootopia looks pretty cute. My weekend's going to be pretty much a write off with the new season of Orange is the New Black dropping.

I'm heading to Sydney this weekend for the All About Women conference at Sydney Opera House. I'm ridiculously excited for a couple of reasons - one, travelling to Sydney's always pretty fun, the guests are amazing and I'm ticking off another of my 24 Before 25 items - going to a festival for a festival and not to work at it. I'll be livetweeting over on my Twitter too, so feel free to follow me.
Also the Gold Coast Film Festival released it's program this week and it is a total killer. Check it out here.

Happy Friday! This week's been pretty great. I'm back at the day job, tying up my old role and getting things prepped for my new one as QWC's Digital Content Editor (excited! a little terrified!) I've also been slaying at wordage too, maintaining my blog schedule (an unofficial new year's resolution) and finishing and submitting a short story and non fiction piece. It's been pretty magical.
