Book in Hand: Still "Seduced by Moonlight" (argh, it's all about unseelie fairies and the story ain't friendly)
Song in Mind: Lean on Me coz Harlemm Lee sang it in last night's episode of Fame (Go Harlemm!)
Word in Mouth: Blow Away, My Zephyr.... *shrug*

This morning... or should I say, yesterday morning, I woke up feeling fantastic because I heard it was raining!! And it was still dusky outside and when I looked out my window everything was wet and nice and it was cold. It put me in such a good mood that I didn't even mind half as much that I had to go to work. And when I got home at 8:30 p.m. I didn't knock on the gate immediately. I spent some fifteen minutes just standing in the middle of our empty street and stared up, up at the night sky. There were so many stars. That's the good thing about living in the boondocks. Yes, it's far from everything else, but it sure is near the heavens. *sigh*

Tidbits:

* I want to watch A Series of Unfortunate Events. I don't know if it's any good. In my opinion, Jim Carrey gets a bit O.A. sometimes and it's not like I like the book series. But I'm hoping movie magic waved it's wand and something good came out of the whole unfortunate thing.

*Million Dollar Baby won the Oscar Best Pic, but it's still about Boxing and I never found that entertaining. I'd rather watch worms breeding, thank you very much. If anybody thinks I should reconsider, let me know. Next ---

*There's this comedian I discovered I like, Jimmy Fallon. I think I've seen him on some teeny-bopper foreign mags and I never paid attention. Really thought, he was one of those goofy looking guys who scored a hunk card for some unknown reason. But when I heard him do stand-up comedy, specifically the Troll Jingles, man, I laughed til my sides hurt! And now, I think he's uber cool. Listen to it! It's played on LaunchCast under Stand-Up Comedies.

* Talking about laugh-out-loud inducers, the tv shows which really, really, really makes me laugh and it's the kind of amused, surprised laugh you make when you're amazed that you're actually getting the joke: Friends and Malcolm in the Middle. And lately, Ed too. In fact, I like that show so much that I am even going to wake up three hours from now to catch the 6 am replay on ETC, since I didn't get to watch it last Thursday night. =P

* Hmmm.. Gilmore Girls. I love the Gilmore Girls. But I've never really laughed out loud in any of their episodes. Oh, but I giggled and chuckled along with them. Ehehe, it's really more of being able to relate with them and wishing you could have the sassy, savvy kind of wit they have.

* I've decided to put up a separate blog for my Geeks Guide to the Theater. I just think it will take up too much space if I put it in here. Upcoming reviews: A Very Long Engagement and Sideways. (I'm a bit late)

Yawn! Have to sign off now. *liv nods off*

The Last Station: Leo Tolstoy's Last Days

Image
I can't claim to have impeccable taste in movies. I have paid to watch films like Karate Kid 2 (oh-my-gawd) and Going the Distance, after all. But once in a while, I stumble unto something intelligent AND watchable --- a feat increasingly rare in today's films. You will not have learned of this movie. It didn't even show here in the country. Sige, aaminin ko, the only reason I even bought this film is because James McAvoy is in it. And maybe because Helen Mirren was nominated in this year's Oscar's for Best Actress. I'm thankful for this 2 very shallow reasons though because it led me to finding a movie that, in my opinion, competently portrayed the conflicted life of the famed Leo Tolstoy. As a litgeek, of course I know who Leo Tolstoy is. I could name his novels and essays, and maybe, perhaps, infer on a couple of reasons why he was such a big man in Russia. But the truth is, I haven't read War and Peace. It makes for such an excellent doorstopper that I h...

Stephen King says Stephenie Meyer Sucks

Stephen vs. Stephenie, the fight is onnnnn! :) Guess whose side I'm on? I just read this in yahoo mail and I had to IMMEDIATELY blog about it out of pure joy that all the faults I found wasn't just in my head. Somebody else who has more authority to speak about it, agrees. Meyer sucks. She just purely does. She was saved by finding a really great story, one she didn't do much justice, but girls will read anything with a hot dude in it. We are not all Stephen King fans, but I respect this dude (botoxed face and all) coz he writes. And even if his stories are creepy, he writes them well. I don't always like what he writes about (i.e. What's up with that The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, huh?), but at least he tells it well. And for those who say, well, Meyer's an amateur, get this: writing Twilight makes her an amateur. Did we see improvement in the next books though? At all? No. It even got worse. One word: Renesmee. But I've said all this before. Let me just qu...

Not an Average Love Letter

Lately, I have been hinting heavily at my boyfriend that I would “appreciate” receiving a love letter. He’s been spot-on so far --- big boxes of chocolates, scouring shops and shelling out the bucks for my “craving of the month” munchies, flowers in vases and fluffy stuff to clutter my bed with. Everything except the Letter. See, some girls dream of breathtakingly expensive proposals, some of big fabulous weddings, and some fantasize of babies in a twin carriage. But ever since I was young, I only had one romantic notion and that is to receive one heck of a searingly honest, non-sappy, ultra-passionate love letter. The kind of letter that bares the soul and seals in ink the reasons and unreasons of Love --- so real it makes all other literature pale in comparison. I guess on the off-hand, it sounds like a tall order. I can imagine litgeeks balking at this request. And my guy, who like my sister believes that reading and writing are things you suffer through only for a perfectly iron-cl...
