Poker Face
First on the agenda: hideincarnate, I received your post card today! Thank you very much, I love it and is currently up with all my other Christmas cards. <3
2. Last night my dad took me to see Avatar in 3D. Absolutely a gorgeous and stunning film. I couldn't get over the visual aspect of this movie, it was beautiful. You could still tell what was CG and what was real, but the way technology is going I'm sure we soon won't be able to tell as much.
I love Neytiri, I think Zoe did a brilliant job with her. She was a strong, beautiful character. When she was kicking the Colonel ass at the end I wanted to get up and cheer.
While the film looked gorgeous the story was pretty standard, which I like and don't like. Overall I think it was a good movie, but I don't know if I would rank it at the top of my list.
Also, Sam Worthington? Yeah, I would definitely not kick him out of bed for eating crackers. ;)
3. Mum has scarlet fever. Since she had her dental surgery 3 weeks ago and getting a cold she somehow got scarlet fever. How the hell that happened I don't know, but anyway she's feeling pretty shitty and I've been taking care of her as best I can. She's on antibiotics, so she should get better soon.
4. So, as my last post said I am going to Las Vegas for my birthday. Yesterday while I was with dad he told me that a bunch of his co-workers had the same week off in June that he has; one of the co-workers sisters had told her about this insanely cheap package to Las Vegas which included air and hotel. The co-worker mentioned it to my dad and some of the others and everyone thought that it would be fun to go down there and see the show 'Love'. The dates just happen to co-inside with my (or around) my birthday (the week will be between June 12th - 18th, my birthday is the 15th), so dad thought it would be a treat for me to come with and have a good time. He said I needed a break and he needed a break, so he's paying for all my travel, hotel and meals, the only thing he asked is that I save up for spending money. It's also my birthday present for the year which I am 100% fine with. It'll only be a 3 day trip, but since I haven't really been anywhere in so long and just gotten away from everything I don't care. Of course if I win the lotto then I'll extend the trip and then go to Europe afterwards.
When he told me this yesterday I told him he better not be bullshitting otherwise I'd have to hurt him.
Also, filling out a passport application is like trying to apply to run the country. I also need to find my birth certificate, but where it is is anyone's guess. Hopefully it'll turn up, I don't want to pay $27 to get another one sent to me. The passport is already going to cost me $87. I went through all my important papers hoping it would be there and I found the left over American cash I had from New York, so I already have $44 US saved. :)
5. Yes, it is true, Sherlock Holmes has now eaten my brain. I cannot wait to see it again and again and... well, you get the idea. This is how bad it's gotten: yesterday after a doctors appointment I walked passed the video store (or DVD rental... whatever) and I always like to go in to look around. Anyway, they always have previously viewed movies on for dirt cheap and I happened to find The Soloist and Zodiac for dirt cheap. *hangs head* I've hid them from my mum for now because otherwise she'll cotton on and start making fun of me (in a good way).
Stupid Robert Downey Jr. Stupid Jude Law.
Stupid new movie that I love making me plunge headlong into another fandom, ripping money from my unemployed hands (actually, I have a bunch of movie certificates saved up from Christmas and birthday, so I can see the movie at least 10 more times without having to actually pay. \o/ Although I don't think mum would appreciate that when we want to see something different.)
