I have a new movie review up!! i saw Babel (finally) a few nights ago and poo poo'd it. go read what i said, comment, tell me how stupid i'm being and how i should really give movies a chance before deeming it the most useless, uncomfortable, trivial piece of pretty cinema.
on to happier things. i'm in a cheerier sort of mood, i think there's a chance for me yet. i'm cleaning out my room one little bit at a time, it's amazing what a clean room does to your outlook.
in actual happenings the hermapolitian ogdoad chaser dean was making a short for tropfest on monday and i was there for him as Girl 1. i've been told that it's completed, so i'm itching to go and take a lookie, maybe check out some more of his broccoli porn.
aaah, i feel all cruisy. maybe it's time for this week's fives
5 things i'm craving RIGHT NOW
- chilli fries
- my own troubadour who travels around with me and sings about my life
- starting on a new book
- a night at some horrifying asian club playing inane rnb
- a peach...ooo i have one right here

summer drive
back from the beach. total sightings of beach? oh, a few glimpses here and there. total amount of time spent on the beach? nudda. the closest we got was the safeway across the street. it was beautiful though. a lot of lying around watching movies we've already seen even though both of us took down a whole bunch of movies we really should be watching. he played a lot of golf, i stayed in and finished reading Perfume. which by the way, the ending blew my mind in more ways i care to share.
he took me driving, it was interesting. i think i like the rolling much better than the accelerate, and the road is preferable to the bushes surrounding the road, i must take a note of that for future references.
i didn't take any pictures for a change, it was much more relaxed than that this time, and we were far too naked for far too much of the time for an actual record of our sojourn.
for now a record of movies that we watched would do: (in place of this week's list)
The Man Who Wasn't There
Fast Times At Ridgemont High
Pretty In Pink
Rebecca
Citizen Kane
(half of) Brazil
The Royal Tenenbaums
I've decided to fire up my movies reviews again. once i start going to the cinema that is. i'll try to write a review of every movie i watched in a cinema in 07 as well as going back and reviewing a few old favourites i mention on this thing. i'm sure five movies in i'll give up but i can only dream.

NYE06
just a quick update everyone. HAPPY NEW YEAR! i have a feeling this is going to be a decent year. what did i do? WELL... there was of course, cokeboy's smashing party (the Dean-A-Palooza) which included some bbq action, a little backyard sports and a game of pin the glasses on the dean. (my only regret is that i forgot to take a photo). I've uploaded a selection of photos on flickr. go take a lookie here.
didn't really take a lot of photos. there was these great shots of dean by the bbq that if you flicked them back and forth it looked like he's dancing, but since i don't have image ready on this computer and the boy's sleeping and it's dark here and i really can't be bothered, i didn't make a gif image. however i do believe this following video more than makes up for it.
in between we went to one of the boy's friend's pool party where there were a lot of half naked boys and sticky floors and bad music. i got scared fast and pulled a totally plastered darren back up to dean's place where we were treated to the 80s movie version of Transformers, Mario Bros. the TV series and a live action HEMAN!
much fun was had (all except for some half hour when the boy went missing, actually he went missing twice and we had to send out a search party. drunk darren likes to explore)
I wrote down some resolutions, but since i'm sitting in a corner of my bedroom trying not to disturb sleeping darren i won't go looking for them. basically involved getting a job, getting my license, and getting a direction.
Happy New Year everyone, I hope you're all ready for 07, it's going to be huuuuuge!
