I'm getting to the point where I can't watch movies with any sort of romantic theme without it making me irritable. Within 90 minutes you'll meet someone perfect for you. The jerk will realise the error of his ways or receive his comeuppance. The girl pretending to be ugly will discover she's beautiful. The hero's decency will win out. Just being yourself will work. Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy finds way to win girl back. Happily ever after.

I know this is hardly the least realistic thing that happens in movies, but I suppose the difference is that in reality I'm not worried about my car exploding into a ball of flame if it rolls over or a hail of automatic gunfire striking the ground around me but leaving me unscathed.

I guess the reason I'm feeling sensitive to such everyday tropes is that things don't seem to be working out quite so smoothly. Things end, and you figure it's a chance for a new beginning. You try, you fail, and then you realise you're back at square one again, and you weren't much good at this to begin with.

Maybe life is like a movie, but I just haven't realised that most of us are extras. Anyway, this is getting way too livejournal, so I'll leave it there.

Here's a good song.



The band wants 2 measly Dollars for the EP, it's well worth supporting them.

Sorry things aren't working out. Romantic comedies make me bitter, life is much harsher than movie crap.

You're right, 3D didn't do much for the movie. It's only fair I see it again, definitely 2D this time. But hey, at least there was no love story in it. wink I loved it, will probably rant about it later on today.

As far as I know, the photographer just thinks there's no market for it here in South Africa, so he'll launch it in Europe. It will be quite expensive and fancy, so not sure how will that work out or why the stuff am I one of the models, but whatever. I'm happy just with getting cool pics out of it. smile

Oh, about Blizzard! Damn, I think I'm still in denial about that one. It just seems silly (and bloody damn expensive) getting a whole new computer just to get to play the game when I have a perfectly good (but old) desktop and a laptop. I'm all kinds of torn here, I've been waiting for the bloody thing for so long and always hoped they'll launch the console and PC version at the same time. frown But thank you for making me feel better. First world (kind of) problems, hey? smile

That too! We take our freedom of speech and easy access to different sources of information for granted. It just doesn't work that way all over the world.

I believe it wasn't the first time it happened, and considering how closed her culture is, no one probably believed her even if she asked for help.

Hell, I should auction that car and keep the squirrels, 'cause they're cute. wink
