The story of a bored individual...

I went to the cinema on Thursday with isil80 to see Star Trek. I wasn't really that psyched about the film, but i found it would be a nice way to remember Lars. He was such a big fan of The Next Generation series, and I'm sure that if he were still alive he would have gone to see this. So I guess I went in his place



3.5/5

I'd like to write about my London trip now, just because I had a really good time, despite the exam. ;)

06.06.05 Monday.
Jumped on the plane, and made my way to London. Had to change flights in Copenhagen, so when I arrived there the first thing I did was check on the flight to London, figured out that it was on the other side of the airport so I hurried over, sat there waiting for about five minutes until boarding started. I hand over my ticket and the woman looks at it, frowns, and informs me that this isn't the right flight. I was booked on a SAS flight, and this was British Airways. I'm a little panicked, thinking my flight is boarding somewhere. So I get my ticked back, and run to the nearest screen, just to discover that my flight leaves an hour later, and the gate number hasn't been posted yet. So I sit down and wait, when the number finally gets posted it turns out that the gate is all the way back where I came from in the other end of the airport. So I hurry back and get on the plane, and was off to London. I arrived at the house just in time for dinner, and had a calm evening preparing for my exam.

07.06.05 Tuesday.
Spent the whole day reading for my exam, interesting stuff actually. Blockbusters, slasher flicks and the AIDS metaphor in 80s vampire movies and such.
In the evening I needed a break, and ended up watching 'Inspector Morse' at Lars' flat.

08.06.05 Wednesday. isil80 's birthday!
Time for my exam, i was nervous, but felt I had a grasp in the subjects. I met Benedicte and Kine outside the exam room and talked with them until we could go inside. Think we had our share of nerves at the point they called us in. I think it went ok, I didn't write as much as I wanted to, but think I covered it, I answered the questions on Blockbusters, and the one on the AIDS metaphor. Pretty sure I'll get a passing grade, and that's really all I want.
After the exam Benedicte and I went for a little stroll, it was beautiful weather outside, so we decided to just walk past the busstops and talk a bit. Was very nice, she and Nina might come visit me in August, that'd be cool. Hoping it works out. :D
I went to the house, chilled out a little, went on a little shopping trip, but didn't find anything, except chocolate. Hehe.
In the afternoon, we were a group that went to the park and just relaxed. They tried setting up a volley-ball net, wasn't working out real well. I played a round of bacchi with Henriette & Trine. Then I had to run back to the house, and hook up with Lars, JC and Sol.
We headed down to the cinema and saw Sin City for the very first time. I was totally jazzed, loved the film, as you all know by now. JC, Sol and Lars seemed to love it too. :)
When the film was done it was rather late so I just headed to bed.

09.06.05 Thursday.
Got up, packed my bags, and sat in the TV-room until it was time to go. My flight didn't leave until four or something like that, so I saw no point in rushing to the airport. Was watching the local news and got kind of freaked by the news of a serious car accident back in my old home town. SMS'd my friend at once to find out if she was okay, and she was. Still don't know who it was or what really happened...
I finally left, stopped by some shops on the way to kill time, bought beluga 's birthday present.
Jumped on the plane, and made my way home, no problems, no ticket mix ups, and I was finally home, and year two of Film-school was done. :D

 

That's it, just wanted to write about it, since it was a very good trip, and besides the exam I really enjoyed myself.

Next up is Poland trip, maybe even some pictures. :)

Thoght I'd finally write a little about what I did last weekend, nothing major, but I did get out of the house. :)

( Last weekend )

 

Yesterday I went to the theatre with Lars and his wife Benedicte (#2). ( We saw... )

That's about it from my exiting life ;P Have no plans this weekend. Might be a chance to hit the cinema with Benedicte (#1) and Nina either today or tomorrow. Tonight there's the norwegian and British finals of the Eurovision Song contest, and they're planning something around it here at the house, so I'll most likely go down and have a look at that.

 

(Can't be bothered to reread, and check spelling, hope it's all understandable.)

The movies I've seen since last time:

Sorry, Wrong Number

The Bourne Identity.

First half of She Wore a Yellow Ribbon.

58th Annual Tony Awards.

 

( Why can't guys lock the door. )

 

( My first video-job-day )

 

Guess that's the most exiting things that have happened this week. JC is having a really hard time with his family back home, I won't say more. Lars has gotten the cold, but seems to be in good spirits, so that's a good sign. Don't have anything else to write just now.

Camelia and I + to mates went to the cinema yesterday and watched "Master and Commander". I didn't expect anything from this movie, and I don't like Russel Crowe, but went to see it anyway. God, that movie was booooooring. First of I knew what was going to happen before it did, except one or two things with the doctor. When the movie was over, I was like; "That's it!?! That's what the critics have been raving about!?!" I was pleased to find out that I wasn't the only person who felt this way. Camelia and our two mates were bored as well, and Camelia loves every movie! I know Lily and Isen liked it. I'm happy that at least they enjoyed it, but I was seriously bored. The fight sequences were short and poorly co-ordinated. I'm starting to wonder if we saw the same movie as everyone else? Ah, well. Each to his own, I guess. But I must say that I prefer both "Sharpe" and "Hornblower" if we're going to rate stories based on books based on the Napoleonic wars. (Probably not the correct term, but I don't care.) The only thing I cared about in this movie was the relationship between the doctor and the little boy who had his arm cut off.

Last weekend Camelia and I saw "Timeline". It was entertaining, but I imagine the book was much better. For me, it was mainly ruined by the horrible acting of Frances O'Connor, everytime she was on screen I was cringing, because she was so terrible. What held my interest in this movie was the storyline with Gerard Butler and Anna Friel. The rest I didn't really bother with. It was an enjoyable movie for what it was, but there's no question that it could have been done sooo much better.

In conclusion, if you're gonna watch these movies, wait until they come out on video or on the telly.

Am back from my little shopping trip, I got delayed a bit, cos Camelia wanted to get lunch and stuff before we went out. Then she had to do some other stuff, so I ended up going without her. All I needed was a little something for visiting my aunt and uncle, and a top-up card for my mobile. I got a box of chocolates for my aunt and uncle, and topped up my mobile, and was back here in about 30 minutes. Camelia's gone of to school to get some references for school-applications.

I'm just taking it easy. Went to school this morning, but my teacher was out sick, I just had to sign in to prove that I had actually been there and then I got the questions for the essay. We can choose between three different things, so I think I might go with taking a closer look at "Memento". I watched it for the first time yesterday, and really liked it. I never thought I would, cos I didn't like "Pulp Fiction" because of the whole "jumping around in time" thing, but it really worked for "Memento". Want to get my hands on the DVD cos then you can apparently see it in chronological order as well.
I also saw "Star Trek: Nemesis" yesterday. It was an ok movie, I like the series better though. But I did get a big kick out of Bryan Singer's cameo. He's only in it for a second, so if you blink you miss him. Camelia got to know a guy here that's really in to "Star Trek", so of course she wanted to see what it was all about, and then of course I've got to come along as well. "Star Trek" isn't nearly as terrible as I thought. It's actually enjoyable. Hehe, I'm a bit mean. It's a good show, but I can't quite understand the hype.

We had a christmas workshop as well yesterday. We made christmas-cards. They had put out hot-chocolate, gløgg, gingerbread-men and clementine's for us as well. It was very cozy, they even put on a christmas CD. Personally I still think it's a bit too early, but I had fun. My cards didn't look to good. I felt like the others were really trying to make their cards a work of art, but I just put on different stuff in the hopes that it would look good, and some did. ;)

Was on the net a couple of days ago, and found THIS(There's nothing wrong with the file). I found it utterly hysterical, but that's probably because I know who made it. And I'm not telling you... not yet anyways... :p You might already know, anyways. But I do suggest you have a listen.
I also found a POTC Blooper Reel! Hope someone might find it enjoyable. ;)

Think I'll stop for now, gotta start thinking about getting things ready for tomorrow, we're leaving quite early.
