Three Movies, Three Days...
After today, I will have been to the cinema three days in a row. Gah o_o;

The best one so far has definitely been Blades of Glory. I liked it much, much more than I was expecting it to, as I don't usually go for that kind of comedy. Very nicely surprised, though, and it's quite nice to let yourself go every now and again. I must learn to do that more often, heh.

I was much less impressed by Curse of the Golden Flower, which I thought was a rather weak movie in some respects. There was a hell of a lot of it, but I guess I was expecting something more. The story was okay but far too drawn-out (it could have been at least an hour shorter), but the visuals were pretty cool, if incredibly rich in colour. I'd hate to actually live inside that Imperial Palace *eyes burn*

It has made me want to finally watch Hero, though- I've a hankering for some fights. It's been sat in a drawer ever since I bought it over a year ago. I also haven't watched My Neighbour Totoro or Whisper of the Heart yet, which I must must must must must do.

Tonight I'm going to see Wild Hogs. Don't know what it's going to be like- I've heard it's pretty average. Still, if nothing else it's an exercise in... watching films. I've still not gotten to see The Last Mimzy or Meet the Robinsons, both of which interest me somewhat.

Aside from the films, and our film, not much has been happening. I've been writing more, bit by bit, but will have fewer distractions to get a whole load done over the next two weeks. I'm looking forward to that. I'd like to get another two chapters down by then, and it's be an idea to get the synopsis done, too.

Turns out the person the girl was talking about wasn't Lawrence, but someone else entirely. Neither of their situations are something I particularly want to get involved in; in some ways I'm quite happy being virtually isolated. Although I'm still left with a big question mark over how I feel about relationships. I guess it's not really my focus at the moment- I'd rather write right now.

I hope everyone's doing okay. Hearing about the shooting in Virginia was a real shock. My heart goes out to the families of those involved.

Ah, I see. I quite like the old X-Box. Dan's got one that we play on very occasionally, usually on LEGO Star Wars or Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

The Wii's fantastic ^_^ We bought Wii Play the other day, which was nice fun. I'm pretty far on Zelda, but I think I missed a heart piece in one of the dungeons and I don't know if I'l be able to go back and get it. I tried before and the monkeys were gone -__-;

Ah! I haven't watched Viva Pinata in over two weeks! It's still really cool, though... I know I'll buy it on DVD, hehe ^_^

Shinmaru: I've never had a Zelda game before, so for me it's been a great experience from the get-go. Wii Sports is definitely our favourite multiplayer venture so far- I really like boxing. I'm looking to get Eledees and Mario Party 8 when they're available.

Mamma Vash: Hey again! Good to see you, hehe. And thank you ^_^

Have you seen any sign of that car football DVD, by the way? I haven't heard anything of it since that video at the Expo.

Roleni-chan: I'm not sure how tied-down I'd be by a relationship, which is another reason I'm pretty wary about it. I think at the moment it may be one distraction too many considering where I am and what I want to be doing. If I don't knuckle down I could end up just never actually getting the book finished and sponging off my parents indefinitely, which is not what I want to do. But obviously, I'm being stupid about it- you can't rationalise feelings, or predict how you'll react when put into a situation. I'd like to think I'd know the right thing to do, but... I may not. I certainly haven't always in the past ^_^;

The 360 is the only other console that interests me. If it drops in price to around the £200 mark, ever, then I'll consider it. But at the moment I haven't the time ot the money. And I'd only buy it for Viva Pinata, heh ^_^; That isn't to say I haven't been entering into competitions to win them anyway...
