"Serious Contemplations & Nonsensical Crap "

Hmmm... i am seriously thinking about doing photography as a hobby. Well, erm, i've always toyed with that idea since i do love nature, & i have an eye for art too, i should say ( gloats! ). And- my partner bought a new camera, a nice one for that matter...so yup, i think i'll go for it- on top of everything else, of course.
I'm excited !
I'm the kind of person, see, who NEEDS to have a creative outlet cause i'll die if i don't! i have this need to be creative all the time because it eats away at me if i don't give in...darn it (breathe...).
ON ANOTHER NOTE:
Watched LOVE GURU & it was a cheesy film with a peculiar humour- in other words: did NOT like it. A few laughable moments here & there but that's about it, really,it was a bollywood spoof, goodness sakes' & a waste of money ( i paid $70 for the whole family & later cringed in my seat after Myers spewed out a litany of green jokes- my kids! Noooo, ughhh...felt sick afterwards ).

Last night, we rented THE HUNTING PARTY, which starred Richard Gere & Terrence Howard. It was based on a true story but in my opinion, it was more of a satire, or let me say it this way- the whole event was bordering on the ridiculous, really, there were plenty of "What?" & scratching-my-head moments while watching this film but there you go, it was a satire after all with a peppering of incidental comedies along the way. One & a half stars for me.

On the other hand AUGUST RUSH is magnificent. I truly, honestly loved it! It is fiction, but it's absolutely magical. It's almost teethering as an art film, but it is not...the plot is simple- an orphaned boy looking for his parents but with a twist, see and that's where the magical elements weaved in. A must see film.

Jeez, melatonin is working its magic & back to Tech tomorrow, so better log off now. Thanks for bearing with me & my nonsensical crap...
Zzzzzzz.

I took this photo at Park St.Eye clinic in town (chuckle...)- Couldn't resist, i find it quite hilarious !Photobucket
it makes me wonder if that was deliberate, hmmm... must be eh?
Now, now whose idea was it?

Anyway, i bet everybody gets a good laugh. I for one did !

Blah di blah, di blah

Bugger! Petrol prices have sky rocketed again, arrgh. I will have to use our bus service this coming semester, i hate the thought of getting up earlier than usual & hop on to two buses to get to Uni- especially now that it's winter. Gee weez...

New Zealand is one of the main importers of dairy products and yet we could hardly afford to buy butter! it's too blimmin expensive, priced at $4 now (used to be $2 last year)so i have to make do with the 'healthier' (cheaper) choice which is Pam's margarine. It's the same with fresh milk, cream and cheese. Milk is cheaper overseas. By golly...
Boo hoo, i need a cry...


Okay, i feel better now.
