Had a quiet weekend after all the action on friday.

Been working really hard on those X3 icons, got 258 bases to do something with. Yeah, I went a bit crazy there, lol.

Have been doing stuff around the house, being all housy and stuff. Think I'm doing okay. Hehe.
Sunday was pretty dead, son't really remember much of what I did, went to the shop and bought milk and pasta, oh the things I saw on that quest. In the evening I was online chatting. Watched 'Ella Enchanted' It's a very simple movie, but I enjoy it. After the film I ended up discussing Supernatural with
ajali, how the guys relate to eachother, and how the boys are with their father and vice versa. Another reason I love the show, so much depth and possibilities for discussion.

Yesterday kind of went quickly. Didn't do much during the day. Going through my flist, and doing stuff around the house. In the evening I drove into the city and met up with
beluga, we headed over to the rental place and had a look around. None of us were really inspired to pick out a movie, usually when we go in we find so many we have to cut it down. Yesterday we just walked through the place having no clue. She asked me if there was anything we missed in the cinema, and all I could come up with was 'Saw 2', I didn't think they had it in, but 
beluga found it. Not far from it, they had 'Jarhead' too, which was one of those movies we kind of wanted to see, but weren't sure, but we got it anyway.
Stopped on the way back for some goodies, and settled in for some movie magic. We started with 'Jarhead'. And I have to say I really liked it, and that's saying a lot as I usually can't stand war movies. However I really liked this one, maybe because it was more about the people than the war. The cinematography was wonderful, really stunning. The actors all did a wonderful job. How did this movie or it's actor not get any kind of Oscar nomination? I know the film fared better outside the US than in the US, I kind of get it as it doesn't really show a positive view of the american army, but come on, it's not like we believe all the propaganda stuff either. Long story short, I really enjoyed this film, and it might actually end up in my DVD collection at some point.
Afterwards we threw  'Saw 2' in the DVD player. I had expectations to this film, as I really like the first one, but it didn't quite hit the same level as the first. I liked the idea of the setup, but I didn't feel the same kind of dread and uneasyness as during the first one. I was stressed, but it never quite managed to peak. The revelation at the end didn't grab me like in the first one. However I did enjoy it, it works well as a scary movie, I might actually say it would have benefitted from being a bit longer, letting us know a little more about the victims.

After the films, 
beluga and I just sat talking was nice. It's not long till we go to Poland so we discussed a little bit about stuff we could do while we are there. Will be loads of fun, yay.
