Hypefest=Crapfest?

Well I saw The Dark Knight on Wednesday. And here I was thinking I’d prolly just see it on DVD or on some small airplane screen. We saw the 8:30 screening and booked only 2 hours in advance so it was kinda a last minute thing. Anyway it was just me, Monique and Simone; we had dinner at Nandos first then saw the movie. The queque was pretty long and when we got in there you could already hear the nerds getting all excited about seeing the movie xD After waiting about half an hour for the cinema ads to disappear, the movie finally started…and now to my thoughts. SPOILERS AHEAD —>

It was okay. I’m not saying its bad…and I enjoyed it but it wasn’t like, amazing. Let’s just say its not as life changing as everyone is making it out to be at the moment. I 100% agree Ledger should at least get nominated for an award - he basically made the entire film!! The problems I had with it was the length and development of the plot…at times it just seemed to be going everywhere and nowhere at the same time with pointless dribble and pointless scenes. Many of the characters left something to be desired, including the Joker’s. Maggie Gyllenhaal’s character was essentially pointless, and wasted. The ending was kind of boring to be honest, and the whole movie didn’t really have a climax at all…that said it’s very intense and very American. Hell, I snickered when Dent recommends the person in court to only buy american made guns. -_- THe only thing I liked about this movie was Ledger, really. Bale’s voice is comical to say the least and it just sounds too overdone. Well…that’s my thoughts about the film. Don’t kill me, Batman fans. x__x I’m not usually into superhero movies anyway so maybe that has something to do with it. Honestly…I enjoyed Spiderman 3 as a whole a lot more than TDK.

Now…its still holidays. I checked my uni results yesterday, and I got exactly what I expected - 3 credits, one distinction. All my marks basically sucked this semester except for english which I did pretty well in…but oh well. What can ya do right? I mean it’s disappointing…but apparently you have to suck up to your lecturer to get good marks (seriously, this is what everyone tells me). And its tried and proven by two people I know at uni who GIVE THEIR TUTORS CHOCOLATE for being good teachers?? I mean wtf…unless they’re really cool and unless I can talk to them about a lot of things I wouldn’t spend money on someone just to suck up to them…I mean its not ME. But apparently thats the way it works in uni. So maybe sucking up to teachers is a good idea after all… God uni’s stupid sometimes.

Anyway onto sitely matters. Did anyone else hear about the new .me domains at Godaddy? Man. I totally woulda bought aweso.me but apparently 8 other people beat me to it!! LOL. ugh. I’m thinking about doing a major revamp of this site. Like May-jah. Taking out some stuff, putting stuff in. I just wonder if anyone actually uses the free stuff on this site? I mean what do people really want to see on here anyway? More PS brushes? Coz that’s like the top hit on my stats thing LOL. Geez. People just love a free buck huh I just hate making stuff when no one can be bothered using them…ya know? Its not like I don’t enjoy it. Its just pointless for me if its just sitting there. Taking up bandwidth. And space. So yeah. I dunno. I already have seven frickin subdomains on this website and while it might not seem a lot - its a lot to manage and backup and everything. Moving hosts is going to be a nightmare!!

Btw I think I’ll be moving to Namecheap at the end of the year hopefully. Or I might just upgrade my plan at the moment..still undecided on that one.

I got a payrise btw!! I’m not on 16.72 thanks to casualness and awaness….hehehe. The work still sucks though. If I worked at IKEA full time I’d kill myself. Not really. METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING. lol. On a last note…I finally did Lin’s dress entry for her contest. So go check out her site and maybe enter yourself? ^^ Ok I gotta go now. Internet cuts out in seven minutes. YES D-LINK SUCKS ASS

P.S. I’m looking at my new blog layout right now and while its meant to be a UFO flying there…it not looks like a yellow raincoat hat. LOL. Gawd. Gotta love crappy drawing skills -_-

   First off, your site looks amazing! I love the opening page and this one is just as cute. Great job on that.

   I felt the exact opposite about The Dark Knight. I didn’t really have any complaints at all except for the fact that I didn’t like Harvery Dent/Two-Face. I guess it’s just what your tastes are.

   Congrats on the raise.

   Every time I come back you’ve got a new layout - I like this one

   Never saw TDK. I want to, but I’ve got a reunion coming up next week that I’ve got to go to in Ontario so. I probably won’t get to see it before then since I’ll be so busy. I’ve got to be honest - you are the first person to complain about the movie. I have a friend who said it was awesome and to “get sucked in by Joker” I don’t know what he meant, but - ha ha.
