i've been counting down for weeks now and it's right around the bend. harry haters- watch yourselves, i'm about to geek out...

AAAAAAAAAAAH!

arcade fire do it better.

i'm assuming everyone and their mother has seen this already but it's too cool to pass up.

job well done mr. scorsese.

I took a trip down to the cinemas last night with Vesna & Stephanie to see the new Scorsese flick Shutter Island and despite all the bad reviews and my tendancy to cry/freak out/drop my popcorn in every thriller I loved it! Some may have got more out of it than others, {Stephanie's opinion of the film in it's two hour-or so entirety: 'that was a bit strange'} but the consensus was good all 'round. I have also decided that children + unsettling music really make for an uneasy Kamaia. Give me old people any day but kids give me the creeps, especially the there-but-not-really-there kind. gaaaah.

hello insomnia!

so far i've:

• facebooked
• watched 'the shining', awesome movie to watch before bedtime yes? wrong. thus...
• 'late night with jimmy fallon' soon followed
• ate my sister's amazing chocolate/wheat/not quite sure what's in it, slice.
• fast-forwarded to the end of said movie.
• somehow found myself here.

fun facts at 2am. heck yes!

twenty-twelve

The other night i caught the film 2012 with Marie and Karolina and let me just say..

JOHN CUSACK IS INVINCIBLE!

and that if i hope to survive this film i must do one or all of the following:

1} Become a geologist/politician/ridiculously rich russian aristocrat
2} Listen to Woody Harrelson; even if he's a crazy forest-trolling loon.
3} Learn how to fly
4} Move to Africa

It's that simple.

dear 'international relations'

aka. AIR109 you may have bored me to death but alas, i'll say it
i miss you.

In other news, i caught 'Capitalism: a love story' with a few of the girls tonight. i'm no expert on US politics

{FUN FACT: i'm taking the class next semester} but I did not roll my eyes once at Mr Moores sarcastic tone or his baggy pants & baseball cap get up.
It might be 'cos i just watched a Bernie Madoff doco not so long ago but this did not make me yawn once. A big achievement since that's all i would do whenever economics would come up at school. or ever really. Or it might be that i had to pat myself on the back for knowing what the economist types were talking about.
Mr Lecturer would be so proud.

On second thoughts, AIR109, i think i can do without you for the next four or so months.

oh, nostalgia.

remember this little gem of a film?
childhood memories all wrapped into one seriously cool mash up.

this one is also pretty special.

{ta, fagottron}

i may be stretching the truth a little

..but I have had this freeakin' flu for what seems like seven years. I can tell this because slowly but surely everything around me now smells like eucalyptus and/or vicks vapor rub.
In other news: 'This is it' was, and I won't be the only one to say this, ah-mazing. I love watching behind-the-scenes docos {E true hollywood story anyone? i'm secretly ashamed to admit that} and i'll be the first to put my hand up and say YES i'm the nerd who watches the making-of featurettes on dvds, so mj was a treat! watching him direct and perform was inspiring to say the least.
so in short. see it.

ps. lots of luck to marie for her english exam today :)

pretty young thing.

Like almost everyone in the world i'm off to see the new mj flick tomorrow. I may even rock out a sequined glove just 'cos. The only letdown {yes i've already got a negative strike against TOMORROW'S activites} is that it's not in 3D you see the particular theatre I work at only just got a 3D-able screen and who wouldn't want to wear those bad boys down below?

not me that's for sure.
