Another day closer to uni, another day further from high school ...
Just spent the better half of today [from approx 1pm onwards] cleaning my room [this would err ... oh crap I've lost count of how many attempts I've tried] - dumping all the HS stuff that's been sitting in my room these past 6 years ... which was a very interesting experience. I managed to dig up an ancient Japanese project we had to do on food and cook a Japanese dish complete with photos ... needless to say, it was horrifying to look back at photos of myself with home-cut hair and those wide gray rimmed glasses ... not to mention, that I looked like the 6th member of the BSB with my checked shirt and baggy khakis.
Horrifying stuff indeed.
On a more pleasant note, old Drama Day scripts, and DT evaluation/surveys were dug up ... and a very disturbing portrait of Tiffany's family - both Mr Kiang and Jason had hair up to their knees and had girlish anime eyes ... Hmm ...
Remnants of my Roswell/Jason Behr obsession were present in several of my English essays/stories ... there were just too many Dr Max Evans, Jason Evans and Liz Parkers in them.
Ahh .... did we really go through 6 years of high school? It seems so distant [at the moment]
Anyhoo. So what else is new? I've managed [half assedly] to complete 2 things on my list:
- go get my Ls
- go rock climbing.
- watch Mr and Mrs Smith and Memoirs of a Geisha
- move the furniture around my room.
- new customised layout for LJ blog.
I have to say that Mr and Mrs Smith was a bit of a disappointment - cinematographyly [is there such a word?], it was pretty awesome, but plotwise ...urghh . And the ending was soo ...well I guess you could call it postmodernist, but ...it was shit and inconclusive!
Memoirs of a Geisha fared to be a better movie, although not by much. Yet again, cinematographically [my english is going down the drain these days], it was really awesome and I definitely liked the ending cause it was realisitc and conclusive and etc, but the whole plotline irked me a bit ... it just seems wrong, the relationship!
Casting Zhang Ziyi was a good choice as Saiyuri [well a better choice than Lucy Liu who is the only other actress I can think of that's Asian and a woman] but Michelle Yeoh as a geisha ...now that didn't work for me. Maybe it's because for 20 years she's been playing strong female characters that fight and now casting her in the role of a geisha ...hmm :/
