It's been a while, hasn't it? Ooh, probably about...6 months and 9 days. Or 27 weeks. Or 192 days. Or 4608 hours. Or 276,480 minutes. Or 16,588,800 seconds. Or....maybe I'll stop.
Anyways, A LOT has happened in that time, and unfortunately I don't have a very good memory so I won't be able to tell you most of what happened in those 192 days, aside from about a month ago. Or maybe more. We'll see how we go. And it won't be in order. Sorry about that.
Here's a bombshell to start you off...I started reading Twilight. *audience gasps*. Yes, shocking, isn't it? I had a thought...about ducks. But that's not relevant.
So anyway, I thought, "Maybe I've been a bit hard on Twilight. Maybe it's not so bad. Hell, I've only read one chapter. And my cat always said, 'Never judge a book by its fangirls.' "
And now I am 3/4 of the way though, or thereabouts. And...it doesn't suck as much as I thought it would. It's actually okay. Aside from Bella's TOTAL OBSESSION with Edward. And the fact that he's a vampire. So it's ok. But it's not great.
I'm working at Macca's now. I applied two weeks ago (about), got called in for an interview two days later, then got hired three days after that, and now on Friday I have my orientation.
LET'S HEAR IT FOR FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE!
I have three (or is it four?) assignment due this term, also known as the final one for the year, and indeed, YEAR 9 ITSELF. I probably should do them, but I don't want to. Simple, really.
Holidays were good. I don't think I saw a movie in those holidays, but I went to Tim's house and I went to Hayden's par-tay, also at his house. Holidays are good.
I should talk about the movies I saw. Yeah...I think I'll do that now.
First up, X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That was way back in May. Saw that with Hayden. It was good, with some wicked action scenes, but not the best. 15/20.
Next, Star Trek. I had obviously heard of it, and kinda known the basic premise, but never really known who were the characters and such. Kinda cool, nice CGI effects, confusing plot though. And I saw it with my dad, so he tried to cover my eyes when the half-naked alien and lead male were making out. That messed it up a bit. :P. Also 15/20.
Then, about a month later, possibly the biggest eye-candy fest of the year, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The first one was/is one of my top action flicks ever, so I was expecting a lot from the sequel. But it was kinda a mixed bag. The plot? Well...it sucked. Like, really badly sucked. And so it seems that Michael Bay was trying to make up for the abysmal plot by throwing in gratuitous destruction, explosion after explosion, and HOT girl after HOT girl, and....it worked. One of the best films of the year. Reason? Three words: Transforming. Alien Robots. It doesn't get any better than that. 18/20.
Next month, the next installment of the Harry Potter series, the Half-Blood Prince. Loved the book, so the film had something to live up to. Better acting than most of the series, better directing, better everything (over the last couple ones, I mean). The third one is still king though. 16/20.
END OF MOVIE REVIEWS
In business at the mo. Designing the new $1000 note and $5 coin. Wow. I'm learning sooooo much from this experience.
Anyway...what else?
I can't make up my mind. Conflicting emotions, confusing emotions, all the same thing. I hate love. No, wait...I don't hate it...I hate the problems that come with it. :S
Hmmm....
Can't think of anything else. Just the usual. Will post again if any thing interesting comes up. :)
