Watching my friend's The O.C. DVD boxset of the first season with my sister in three days (yes, 27 episodes in three days and some of them twice) has made me all emo and now I want to marry the fictional Seth Cohen because...because he's funny, sarcastic, likes the Goonies and did I mention that he's also JEWISH which makes him PERFECT. He's like the male version of me. . Right, actually too embarassing to perv over a fictional teen-drama character. Bless Josh Schwartz.
But would you look at my ( playlist )
Am watching the independence day ball and procrastinating over my Rome report that is due tomorrow. Only three days left to cover though. Which means that I won't be sleeping much tonight. On the other hand am very happy about the fact that my mum's in Brussels and I can take her car so I won't have to wake up that early to make it to the bus. Argghh, I've written about ten pages about the first day, it's not possible...I can't return a 40-page report about a four day trip, can I? That'd be going OTT. But I will anyways, oy.

All Sims 2-owning people ahoy! So I've heard nothing but good things about Sims2 and I really want to get it but because I have a very slight OCD this means I could end up playing it for weeks on end. I never dared to buy Sims because I was already completely obsessed with Sim City 3000 and later on with Sim City 4. I have now shaken my obsession with those two and feel like giving Sims 2 a try. So the 64,000 dollar question is, is it really worth my 54,90€ and if I get addicted and forget to eat, will someone please organise my burial?

Am bored, so fucking bored (and reporting it to my el-jay, how cliché). Staying up all night doing stupid things is grand when you can opt out. My insomnia kicks always in on this damn weather, it's warm and rainy which just makes me go crazy. Plus my fucking neighbours decided that it's a good idea to leave their slapper daughter home alone and she proceeced to invite her 80 closest mates over a.k.a to terrorise the neighborhood until the wee hours. At 4:18am playing with your mobile's flap can be seen as good entertainment. But really, I'm home alone and still I don't feel the need to announce it to everyone within 5 mile radius by testing how fat the bass on the soundsystem can be. I'd rather not let anyone know I'm home alone because then the zombies from Dawn of the Dead will get me...Man, I watch too much telly. On the other hand, it's not my fucking fault that they show the trailer for the Dawn of the Dead every bleeding night before Late Night With Conan O'Brian. And it's not funny that I'm so paranoid. After seeing Mulholland Drive I refused to go out alone after dark for like three months because the guy behind the diner freaked me out so bad. And this was like 18 months ago.
Earlier, i.e. yesterday evening I had a really nice chat with  Jamie, the last time we spoke must've been like 6 months ago. It was grand. We really are the minds alike when it comes to the male population and films. Finally getting my arse in gear about reinstalling AIM does pay off. But everyone really needs to see the trailer for Wimbledon, despite the annoyance Ms. Dunst and me slagging her off a couple of days ago. It is worth it because Paul Bettany is in it. It is!
Because I was productive yesterday and finally sent in that buggery website draft I'd been meaning to send in for like a month, I decided to slack off for all of yesterday and arranged myself a Colin Farrell-marathon, being that I own Tigerland and Intermission, Hart's War was on telly and then rented Veronica Guerin and SWAT. Yes, I am ashamed about renting SWAT. Well Intermission is grand as is Tigerland but Hart's War is just straight out boring and SWAT is awful apart from the gag reel on the extras. Veronica Guerin wasn't too bad, Cate Blanchett is odd though. Anyway, I'm going somewhere with all this...Yeah, why the fuck do the always get Colin Farrell to play an American? Ok, he isn't American in Intermission or Veronica Guerin, but they're Irish films so they don't count. Just make him the token Irish Immigrant called Eamonn or something but please, don't make him do the fucking awful American accent because it is BAD.
I really just need to get in bed and stop watching movies...I've seen about 50 movies within the month. I should list them, actually. Ha and because I'm bored as fuck, that's what I'll do. ( Read more... )

It has been dull, dull, dull. In fact, it was so dull today that I was tricked into watching Good Will Hunting with my mum. Now, it's won Oscars and been praised etc but my god, Matt Damon. I reckon I'm about the only person on the planet (apart from Tara Ariano...) who doesn't find the movie and Damon's character compelling. Will Hunting is super-smart, but troubled! He’s charming, but emotionally unavailable! He’ll love you up right, take you out for a fun afternoon at the dog track, and then stub out his cigarette on your heart! But maybe all he needs is the love of the right woman! It’s a screen archetype we’ve totally never seen before! Bah. And don't even get me started on bloody Ben Affleck and his awful try at a Southie accent (not to mention the fucking haircut).
All the world, who has the energy to care, has heard that Kirsten Dunst and Jake Gyllenhaal have broken up due to "schedule problems" i.e. Kirsten thinking that she is too much of a star so she "doesn't have time" for a boyfriend. If I were the one dating Jake Gyllenhaal, I would find the time. Silly.
I don't know why I even care but I can't make up my mind if all this is just sad because they were a lovely couple (and didn't have a silly name like Bennifer or Dashmi) or if I'm just secretly glad over this because Mr. Gyllenhaal does deserve a(n actress) girlfriend who can actually act. I mean, Kirsten Dunst did one good movie when she was a fetus or something. OK and then Virgin Suicides. But look at her most recent one: her performance in the Spiderman sequel does make me want to shave off my eyebrows with a chainsaw.
Having no job i.e. too much free time and a broadband, no sense of morality nor ethics, I went and downloaded King Arthur. This is a movie I have really been expecting for yonks and thought it would've been amazing and all around good but MAN! was I wrong or what?
Clive Owen is doing such a bad job that had I seen it in the theaters I would have walked out because he's like a wax puppet with a sword and the worst lines in the history: "On THIS DAY you ask this of me. ON THIS DAY". He needs to take an acting lesson. Or six. Everyone had been going on about Lancelot and Guinevere getting it on but nope, nothing of such in the movie. Shame, really.
What the hell was up with Guinevere's outfit in the final battle? Yes, I always command half of an army wearing two belts and some facepaint. And did the Saxons sail from the US? After driving up to the coast from the Middle West, obviously. Stellan Skarsgård is an okay actor but they mustn't have been paying him an awful lot of money because he didn't bother to learn a proper accent. I don't know if it was just me but Galahad was a very Legolas-like role, he looked pretty but didn't say an awful lot and if he did, was Captain Obvious material. The only thing I enjoyed in the whole movie was Ioan Gruffudd. Even if he was made the obligatory comic relief and the wannabe father of all of Bors' skanky kids.
ps. This months Vogue (US) has Mr. Gyllenhaal looking lughvley. And the new Hives album is fucking ace.

This is a journal about killing everyone with a blunt spoon. Not necessarily in this reality though.
