beluga is doggie sitting, so we joined her for the evening. We didn’t really do much, just chatted and reminisced about old songs, sung a couple, even though I can’t sing. :p Ended up turning on CD’s instead.
Saw J.C. Chavez on Top of the Pops, I was let down… that boy has a strong voice, why doesn’t he use it?
Anyway, we watched a little telly as well. I don’t remember much else. I always get a bit groggy when I have my period. I got home late. Got rather sick. Don’t think I slept more than a total of two hours last night. Pain killers wouldn’t work… and still won’t. Trying to focus on other stuff.
Anyways, over to more positive stuff:
( The case of the missing battery. )
( Pirates of the Caribbean, second viewing. )
Think that's it for today. Am leaving for Germany on Wednesday, beluga will be joining us. Will be muchly fun. :)

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.

Uh-oh - you are "Stop blowing holes in my
ship!" You're a little bit edgy,
honestly, and it's getting in the way of your
natural charm. We understand that life can be
hard, but take a deep breath and have a drink.
Relax.

I went to see "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" on Sunday with three friends, they all loved it. Here's my Review:
This movie is quite entertaining and actually well scripted for a Disney-pirate-movie.
The plot is simple; a young blacksmith, Will Turner, (Bloom) is forced to join forces with the pirate Jack Sparrow (Depp) after his love interest, Elizabeth Swann, (Knightley) is abducted by a band of ruthless, ghostly pirates, commanded by Captain Barbossa (Rush).
In addition we have miss Swann's father; Governor Weatherby Swann (Pryce), and the man that wants to marry her; Commodore Norrington (Davenport).
I actually thought the movie was a bit too long, there were times under some of the fighting scenes where I just wanted them to finish. (And this is coming from a girl that loves action movies). The action scenes are engaging non the less, the set design is elaborate, visual effects are great, the performances are great, except for one or two. I also enjoyed the humor in this film, it didn't make me laugh hysterically, but kept me amused and interested, but most of the credit goes to Johnny Depp for that one.
Now that I've had two days to think about it, I think the things that bugged me most was that I felt the movie was a bit too long, they kept going back and forth, maybe one time too many.
Now over to the performance ratings.
Johnny Depp is brilliant as always in the role of Captain Jack Sparrow. Sometimes it seems like he doesn't even have to try when he's acting. I wasn't watching this movie comparing him to previous roles, because he WAS Captain Jack Sparrow.
Orlando Bloom... wait.. *builds a fortress with the highest and most elaborate security available, to keep out Bloomettes*. I'm sorry to say that I don't even think Bloom tried to get into his part in this movie. Granted, he's supposed to be a careful young man, but... ah... I didn't really care about his character. There's one scene in this movie where he's angry and hits the table with his fist. All I have to say to that is that even I could have hit that table harder. My friend, who is a rabid Bloom fan, even had to admit that he could have done better.
I think Keira Knightley did a wonderful job, and I liked her character. I'm so sick of the hysterical whimpering women in this kind of movies, so it was so nice to see a woman with brains and courage. Though after the movie a couple of people said they thought she was too smart for a woman of that time, I don't.
Geoffrey Rush is another one on the main cast list I know could have done a better job. Now don't get me wrong, he did a good job, but I know he could do better. I mean he's a big bad ghost pirate, but I didn't find him intimidating, at all.
Jack Davenport, who some might know from the BBC-show "Coupling", plays Commodore Norrington. I have to admit that when he first showed up on screen I started laughing, but I don't think he deserved that. He did a really good job with the little screen time he had. There was only one time he had that semi-desperate-Steve-face and I half expected him to shout "Susan!", or in this case "Elisabeth!". The fact is that I really liked his character toward the end and had sympathy for him.
In closing I will admit that I'll probably buy this movie when it's released on DVD, but I wont be attacking the sales clerk if they're sold out the day I'm there. I might even be waiting until the price drops a bit. I'll recommend the movie to the people that like these kinds of movies, and the rabid fan girls out there, because it is worth the trip to the cinema. Enjoy me 'arties!
