broadcast me a joyful noise

The Sound of Music is on television! I haven't seen it for years! Oh, Rogers and Hammerstein, thank you for making my childhood so weirdly choreographed and shiny.

Man, half the jokes in the adults' dialogue went straight over my head.

OMG, the marionettes! The folk dance! The colour-coordinated children! MAX! I love this movie, crappy film quality and all.

Okay, sure.

If you have anything to say to the person who posts this, say it to them. If you love them, tell them. If you hate them, tell them. Whatever you have to say to this person, even if it's something you're having trouble saying, if the person posts this entry, say it to them. You may never get a chance to again, so just do it.

For all those to whom this will carry significance; I have never in my life liked any red wine until last night, when I tried Chianti for the first time. I never used to like coffee, either.

Should I be worried?

Spent a lovely evening at Belluci's for Fathers Day dinner (my father's idea of a good treat: buying US dinner at a very good restaurant, hell, I'm not complaining) having calamari and cannelloni and happily staring at gorgeous waitstaff. izumihydra and I have a theory about waitstaff and their tight black shirts and their pretty hair and their ability to flirt madly with you. Mmmm.

I hope everyone at Dragon*Con is having a wonderful time, becuase I am a Caring Giving Soul and do not begrudge people their ability to meet up and be geeky together when I am buried in work and feeling drunk and mopey. Am I fooling anyone? No. But I DO hope everyone is having a good time.

My pirated House episodes keep getting irreversably corrupted.

OMG IT'S DOCTOR WHO

HEE

*settles in for a night of Nicolas Cage's voice and watching Angelina Jolie in dreadlocks ride shiny shiny motorcycles while the Chemical Brothers pump in the background...*

I'm such a guy.

*watches Luhrmann's Romeo+Juliet for the squillionth time*

Harold Perrineau's Mercutio owns my soul.

And there's John Leguiziamo sexing it up as Tybalt, and there's the coolest priest ever and there's...the dude from Bring It On, as Random Montague #3. Okay.

(...oh, Balthazar! Well, duh.)

Man, Leo diCaprio really is a pretty thing. Absolutely my garcon_dor. This calls for more icons! Whee!

I'm sorry. One of these days I'll stop spamming you with moviebabble, but I just went skating for the first time in months and I think my back is one enormous knot. Sitting on the couch and soaking up Baz Luhrmann films and chamomile tea is the limit of my motivation right now.

Re: Batman Begins

Mr Nolan, did you know that pigs can have orgasms that last for ten minutes? True fact.

Congratulations. You've found a way to make one last 134 minutes.

So...watching Shakespeare in Love for the millionth time on the weekend before finals would be...bad.

Fuckit.

( *basks* )

Hairpictures! Finally! Right! Yes! This post has a point.

A week or so ago, my hair was thiiis long. Also this! Which is overbright but at least I don't look sunburnt like I do here <--- short flicky hair! I am yet to get it to flick quite that nicely, because trying to hold it at the proper angle and blowdry it requires more arms (and/or joints) than I currently possess. It looks more boyish without the flick; I'll be dyeing it tomorrow, so more pictures soon.

I am in love with Ben Affleck's Ned Alleyn.

One of these days I will actually study.

So what would be the worst that could happen if I actually used that title for my sociology essay? Really?

*snickers quietly; plans to blame failure upon copinggoggles*

I am being paid something along the lines of $2000 a year to mark maths papers written by medical graduates who are far older and fair more educated than me. This makes me an official member of the university academic staff. Something is a little bit wrong with this picture, but I hope the universe doesn't catch on until I've received my first paycheque.

*whips out red pen*

In even more shiny news - ( Constantine! )

Michelle Trachtenberg is in a movie about figure skating.

<3

I skated for eight years. I'm not entirely pathetic. Well, okay, maybe I am. It's a frigging Disney movie, after all. She appears to play Dawn, only with skates. And in the preview she lands a triple toe loop simply by (apparently) calculating the aerodynamics on paper. Which is, um, kind of NOT POSSIBLE.

*is dork*

And I don't care how godawful the Constantine movie looks (and it kind of does) - it has Rachel Weisz in it. I'm there.

*is also shallow*
