Summer holiday mode

| Trackback | Permalink | June 16th, 2008

Well ever since that 4 month holiday back in January, I feel like I haven’t really snapped out of it yet…even though it’s already half a year GONE. This year is going by so quick! I can’t believe how fast time is slipping by….
Work has been boring as usual - I’ve kinda been job hunting but I think I’ll save that for after exams.
Had a movie night on Friday at Mon’s place again - it was just me, Diana, her and Aaron who is their friend(who I met at Soundwave lol). We walked to Blockbuster and rented out a few movies but decided on Halloween.
I seriously thought it was going to be good…and Aaron being the movie/DVD specialist was like ‘oh yeah its awesome hey’ so we watch it and we’re all like …’wow this is shit’. I mean where do I even begin!?!!? 99% of the movie is pretty much gratuitous violence - honest to god there is NO MESSAGE whatsoever and practically all the girls that are killed in the movie are naked or close to it-_- It’s not even scary at all - its just…some psycho killing people.
It was directed by Rob Zombie…I was totally expecting better! He should stick to music instead ._.

Today it was raining reallly bad…which is a big thing in Perth. Well it is winter and all but seriously, it never rains non stop. But this morning it was raining for what seemed forever and I just wanted to sleep in the whole day!:D But I had to meet Rouli at uni because she wanted me to edit her honours essay(hahaha should I start charging people now? xD). Well it took us about 2 hours lol and it was on the convergence of media(I think I have definitely got ‘multiple delivery channels’ imprinted in my mind enough already…) but yeahhh I think after this year, my new favourite scholar will be Makovich:o Or whatever his name is. Isn’t it weird though - you read on all these different theories and just think ‘why didn’t we think of this earlier?’ or ‘isn’t this kinda obvious?’ or ‘you don’t need a whole book to explain ‘ideal communication” *cough* Heideggar *cough*.

And it is annoying when researching and stuff because all these philosophical people spend around 500 pages beating round the bush explaining what could be said in one or two simple sentences. Geez.

ANYWAY. Besides uni…I’ve been bmming around at home. Not really doing much. I should be studying, but I have two weeks to study and I guess I’m just L.A.Z.Y. 0:-)

I found my old Pokemon games on a floppy disk the other day - I am totally going to play through Pokemon Blue again B) I’m such a nerd. I still remember the days in primary school me and my friends would sneak into the comp. labs to play it XD And I still have my neodeck! AND my pokeball keychain! Hahahah. Good times, good times. Some things never get old. B)

   I can’t believe that time is going by this fast either. It’s so depressing because my girls are growing up so fast. My youngest, is already four months old Oh I wish time would slow down. I thought after 2007 going by so fast that 2008 would slow down, but I have yet to see it slow down in even the slightest way!

   I didn’t mind Halloween, I think I liked that one better than any other Halloween I’ve seen. But I’ve not seen many Halloween movies, so I guess my opinion counts for squat

   Hmm…love the new layout. I was like whoa, it changed again. Ha ha. But anywho, love it!

   I know what you mean about time flying by. I think when you are a little kid you are just oblivious to things like time, and then the older you get the faster it just seems to go. Perhaps thats why older people are always getting their dates mixed up lol!

   I haven’t really seen the Halloween movie, but from what I hear it’s exactly as you described violence and nudity! You would think that directors would tire of making the same kind of crap over and over again but I guess not!!

   Funny what you said about philosophical people spending like 500 pages beating round the bush explaining what could be said in one or two simple sentences, so so true. Smart people always seem to over explain things needlessly!
