"or Bono, the king of Ireland..."
1. 3.44am for the epic win lose! BUT BUT. WHO NEEDS SLEEP. Tomorrow is our management retreat, so we're... apparently going to eat ourselves silly on a remote island and make sandcastles. OKAY. Anything is better than doing what I usually do on a day-to-day basis, y/y? And surely I don't need to be all THAT alert if we're going to be making sandcastles? Who cares if there's serious discussion slated for the morning! I just... won't contribute, is all. ;)
2. Another good lazy day toyesterday! I need to store these up while I can, OMG. It sucks that I actually feel GUILTY for having had these days off. REALLY sucks. But today - got up to meet a couple of my oldest, best friends for tea (apple smoothie), and then I also went to see Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Which was... proof that Woody Allen has turned his penchant for neuroses from Manhattan to Europe. I am kind of meh about Scarlett Johansson as his new muse - who is ever going to measure up to Diane Keaton? The answer is NO ONE. However: Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz were really good (Bardem is insanely hot for someone who isn't really all that good-looking and actually makes a very convincing creepy psycho killer). And hey, any movie with Patricia Clarkson in it can't be all bad.
3. I realise with some horror that I might not be able to make my 100-movies-a-year target this year. I was doing SO well earlier this year, but this past three weeks has been SHIT in terms of movie releases - I'm famously undiscerning when it comes to these things, and even I couldn't bring myself to see things like Babylon AD. Good thing I spent all my time watching Mamma Mia instead. :P I think it'll pick up over the next few weeks though - Tropic Thunder is due. Oh, and Burn After Reading! Excited. :D
4. Fandom was also AWESOME to me today. HAI NEW SNL VIDEO OF INCREDIBLE KICKASSERY. The last five seconds were just BEGGING to be iconed, but the whole thing is just genius. I really hope Tina films a guest spot on SNL every week until the elections. That would be hilarious. XD
5. Also! I've been so caught up in musical theatre flail that I've drifted far from Chinese pop. I was worried that I would miss the album releases of my favourite singers - ha ha, shouldn't have worried. Turns out that Jay Chou releasing an album means that my communities just EXPLODE with flail, which is awesome - I've now downloaded the leaked copy of the album, two weeks before it's supposed to hit the stores! Predictably I heart it already. OMG, I just hope this ISN'T a fake copy - it doesn't SOUND like it. But who knows if one or two tracks are by scammers. :\ And then there's Lee Hom's new single! EEEEK. It's a dorky rock song, with such a great Oriental influence. But ZOMG, it's so cheeeeeesy. Hee.
6. Finally, before I take myself to bed at 4am - I was getting caught up on last week's episodes of The Colbert Report, and ARGH. Apparently you can download the Rock Band version of Charlene (I'm Right Behind You) for free?! (OMG, you CAN!) LMAO. THAT IS FRIGGIN' HILARIOUS. Guys. I love this song in an INSANE WAY. It's so funny. Stephen singing a song to the object of his creepy-stalkerness affection. Best music video EVER. WATCH. THIS. RIGHT NOW.
