not much of a post, but enough to show signs of life - KY

is anyone else excited that uni's starting? and with the start of uni, i'll have to give up on some things, so thought i'd reminisce on them while i can. well, since i gave up GG around the 11th episode (did i hear anyone scream sacrilege?) i've been making myself useful, whether it be parking myself infront of 56inch screens, or 5600 inch screens. so was reading the other entries and saw broze's one on biggie. which reminded me of this.

(couldn't find a decent pic)

Notorious. release date 2009. yer, that means this year. it was still on poster when i caught slumdog, so i'm guessing it's not yet released. would anyone watch this? i was always more of a 2pac man than notorious. but we all know the reason why they've only released docos and not movies of 2pac (because he's still alive). and well that reminded me of a man called oliver stone.


and the one called W. the first movie ever made of a president while he was still in office. i give my respect to george, cos he had the cajones to stand by any decisions or policies he made. but i always imagined that he'd be tried for war crimes in 50 years time. but this is one i'm actually kind of interested in seeing.

aside from those, other movies i want to catch rain, hail or mid-semester exam. watchmen, transformers 2, the other w. wolverine, the GI that is Joe, Sherlock Holmes, restraining my gag reflexes - Dorian Gray, Star Trek, Public Enemies (damon and depp), and.. i'm not ashamed to say it - Harry Potter. without a rom-com in sight, i think it's safe to say that 2009 is a blokish year in the theatres to say the least.

random anecdote: when my sister went to watch Benjamin Button, she left the theatre - behind two of the burliest, most ripped men in life, bawling their eyes out confessing to each other that it was the most beautiful thing they'd ever seen.

random question: having picked up how i met your mother, which i have a theory that says it is 21st century 'Friends' minus phoebe.. but who is ted's wife? and where does robin fit in?

random just random: hope can meet up with y'all muchos over this year, so we can study hard and play hard. or for some, just play hard. seeing y'all soon.

while you were sleeping - KY

and by sleeping, I mean not studying. MAN, completely missed the opportunity to blog on:-
1. NFL opening day - the pigskin is still alive!
2. NBA opening day - the 65 year old breaks his ankle in his first game!
3. El Presidente Obama - Yes We Can! I'm not sure I'm even a demo..

and in no effort to redeem myself, I bring you one of the awesomest things to have graced my life in the past month. needless to say it's not about consolidation, but about basketball

NBA International League Pass

yes - that is right, NBA basketball 24 hours a day, every single game, online - granted you have decent internet connection. it gives the geeks (us) all a chance to keep up to date with our fantasy points. yeah pfft, like I'll be looking at my pseudo-clipizard fantasy team these days. and it's all for the meager price of 84.95 USD. our weak dollar may make our ipods cheaper, but it makes this baby a questionable 126.75 AUD. But you can't put a price on watching the forum blue and gold wallopping (double p? single p?) on the rockets, captain china, and t-mac. So get a couple of mates, chip in and share an account, or ask me for mine, or don't be cheap and buy one yourself.

On other notes:

Burn After Reading: Dark Comedy, nihilistic? (i haven't used that word in two years), get a couple of mates willing to laugh at anything, well worth watching the senselessness of middle white america, a douche that is Clooney, and an effeminate Brad Pitt.

Movies to watch this summer (with or without a girlfriend, in cinemas, or at home): Quantum of Solace, Max Payne?? HSM3???? so it's a bit slim pickins, but stuff worth keeping you on the couch, Pan's Labyrinth, PS I Love You, Iron Man on blu-ray, Hellboy 2..

Or - you could go fishin, get golden, and grow a keg.

And I leave you with Josh Groban's performance at the Emmy's in front of a stiff crowd. Felt sorry for him that no one was into it. But gotta love the language he speaks with his eyes and eyebrows.

Why so serious? - DK

my sentiments exactly - AT.

Reasons to Ditch the 'Sex and the City' Movie - JL

So.Scenario.

Your girlfriend wants to watch the movie but her 1st choice partners in crime a.k.a her BFFs are all busy or overseas. Her 2nd choice option was you. Yes you!
And you need an excuse. What on Earth are you going to do now? (btw please excuse my shocking paint job on the above picture!)

1. What's the time Mr Wolf?
Just tell her, a watch defines a man's character and you need to save up for one of these babies!




Bulgari - $6 900












Omega Seamaster NZL- 32 - $4 800















Rolex Yachtmaster 2 - $39, 150
(WOW!)

2. Gossip Girl

Don't want her to find out? Just stay at home and watch the scene where Serena gives Dan her raunchy Christmas present for the 15th time! (No nothing about GG? Check out DK's review)

3. Rather Wait for Entourage!

Lloyd! Wheres my entourage!?

Derailed by the writer’s strike, it is suppose to be back on air by early September. So fingers crossed!

4. Miranda Kerr > Movie
Tell her you are with the boys, watching Miranda Kerr on the Victoria Secret Fashion Show for the 5th time. Mmmmhhhmmm..... Miranda.....


5. Coldplay Save the 13 bucks on the movie ticket and buy this album!

Do not be fooled! Contrary to the title of the album, this isn't Ricky Martin's new 'Greatest Hits' album. Rather it’s the heavily anticipated 4^th installment from Coldplay. Two years in gestation, 'Viva la Vida' shows a resurrection of the their old style, yet it mixes in with an experimental birth of something fresh and revitalizing. It could be simply described as orchestral, upbeat and electrifying.

Personal Favourites include:

Viva la Vida, Lovers in Japan, Lost and Strawberry Swing.
