Where did that one get off to? As soon as they appear, weekends seem to disappear again LOL. Yesterday was pretty quiet, brother and his girlfriend and my sister were over at different parts of the day - my brother didn't become a father yesterday after all - they were going to induce yesterday, but they got to the hospital, the docs seemed to think better of it, and now will be tomorrow (Monday) when they might decide to do something...
And last night was a case of just one more just one more simulated game on the ice hockey, and I got my team to the Stanley Cup - virtually, on one of those manager games of course, no REAL hockey happening at the moment. And not even any good music on Rage, well not any sustained good music LOL...
Woke up this morning at 10.30, and as soon as I had had my shower and stuff, was straight out the door to catch a bus into town, wanted to catch a 1.30 session of a movie and also do some shopping beforehand. Wanted to get a new shirt and tie for this trip next weekend to V's home state - based it around a wedding basically, so something nice for the wedding. Was despairing of getting anything nice and reasonably priced - and some of the stores I feel too weird to even go in LOL, so I wandered past a couple of times instead LOL. Like really, I wonder whether those business style shirts with the writing or patterns or whatever on them (look like someone has just put a pen to the shirt kind of look) - I wonder whether that would look good on me, but am too afraid to try or something LOL coward...
So anyways, was in David Jones and seeing $210 shirts, lowest price I saw was $80 and I thought screw this - wandered over to Wintergarden, and was slim pickings there as well, but then this place had a 50% off price - usuallly $120 for the shirt and $90 for the tie, let alone mentioning the suit prices, but $60 for a shirt is about a good price for a good shirt... so got a black one, and then looked at the ties, 50% off as well, and white went well, tried looking for others but white was the best so got that. No, don't worry, not gonna wear the fedora and braces for the Nelly gangsta pimp look LOL - although if I did, it may attract Christina Aguilera lookalikes LOL LOL. It's a nice shirt, with a nice tie...
And then went to JB's Hi Fi (no, not a person I know that I have abbreviated, that is the actual name of the place, JB's) to go DVD looking, god I could have gotten six titles easily LOL. Ended up with the Goodies - 70s British TV show, am wondering whether it is still as good as when I saw it last time around when I was ten years old LOL - and Conan the Barbarian, which was in the bargain bin - last time I saw that was on the trip to Oktoberfest from London, think it was showing about the time we were driving through from Calais through Belgium onto the autobahns. Will watch that one having the Governator as he is now on my mind LOL.
But I could have bought so much more - let alone the full priced ones of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Lost in Translation, there was Black Hawk Down (which I actually watched last night, what with the vagaries of commercial television lol - best war movie of the last ten years, Three Kings wasn't really a war movie as such. I am sure the Iraq war movies are making their way through the Hollywood machine as we speak - I remember seeing a story that Harrison Ford would be a general assaulting Fallujah, and this story was doing the rounds even before the Marines went in... and also good on the rack were Fight Club, Scarface, Donnie Brasco... my sister has said that she always overbuys when she goes in there, just so many good movies LOL. They had Dodgeball going on in the background, and that looked OK, but never buy a movie unless I have seen it first, I soooooo need to join back up to Blockbuster in this suburb LOL.
And then to the true part of my mission into town, seeing The Motorcycle Diaries. Spanish, with subtitles LOL. About Che Guevara just out of university travelling around South America with a friend - and yes, I guess that it somewhat appealed to me because of the travel aspect, but I thought that, even though it had gotten a few awards, it was going to be all pretty scenery and not much else, but it has a plot in there as well, how plain old Ernesto as he was back then got politically aware. And also the whole boy becoming a man thing... now if only my travel diaries were that inspiring LOL - or hell, even my blog, but hmm there are far too many what iffings about girls and mentions of alcohol in my travel diaries LOL - although my self confidence shot up heaps in my time overseas... back to Motorcycle, good movie, inspiring in its way, and should be in for best cinematography at least at Oscar LOL.
Wandered back home after that, though went into JB's and barely stopped myself buying anything else - now, is Top Gun DVD keep forever worthy or not LOL - maybe if on special perhaps :) Got home and talked to V about my black shirt and white tie proposed look, and she had a heart attack - not with my family not in my town, they will get the wrong impression about you blah blah blah, like really, do I care what they think of me, nooooo. If they are really worthy of my knowing them, they would look beyond what I am wearing and try and figure out what is going on in my head, where, even if I didn't wear striking clothes, they would be able to ferret out that I have a white tie liking part of my persona anyways LOL. V has six days to settle her heart attack down before I put the outfit on LOL, and said why don't you bring an alternate tie down, like rules and don't bring me down man blah blah blah. We will see what we see I guess :)
So yeah, that has basically been my day - watched a couple of episodes of the Goodies after the conversation with V, and thankfully it does seem as good as my ten year old mind remembers it LOL.
Later peeps
Pauly
