Hey all. My weekend has been alright in a fairly quiet sort of way - yesterday was on the computer almost non stop managing my fantasy NHL side (my first season I got knocked out in four in the first round of the play offs, but of course no one is interested in that) - but at least it is taking me off the internet. Although I would like to mention that my random conversation with female days are well and truly over, and have been for a long time - I usually read blogs, news or umm other stuff nowadays. But still, that other stuff is better than being umm interactive, and now to dig myself out of THIS particular hole LOL...
Today, after being constantly on the computer yesterday, I purposefully avoided it today, and found that there was a bedroom to clean LOL. And conversations with family members to have, and books to read - am almost finished Jon Stewart's America, very very funny...
And went out to the movies today - and saw Closer. Now, I haven't seen the play or anything, so I am coming into the movie with no preconceptions, but I think it was bloody brilliant. I think it is about the first Julia Roberts movie I have seen since Pretty Woman LOL, and I only saw that on video/TV. Oh, I lie, Oceans Eleven. And I am not quite a Jude Law fan yet, but I like several movies he is in, and Clive Owen acted really well in it, but OMG Natalie Portman - now, this is one actress who is not going to get pigeonholed as that girl out of Star Wars :)
Mmm, going from a Portman role as all American girl last week in Garden State, to stripper in this one, and I am looking at her stripper scenes, thinking with half of me OMG what a bod, and the other half thinking I liked her just as much as the girl next door last week LOL. But what the strength of the actual movie was, is that in an hour and a half it distills the essence of relationships, from go to woe and around and around, and quite a few times I thought yes I have been through that - a lot of realism I think. And what a surprise of an ending - said to V when I got on the phone with her this afternoon she should go watch it. Also said that about Garden State, two totally different movies LOL...
Still have another four to go that are on release in Oz - movies, I'm talking...
Yawn, Australia have had another walkover win in the one day series against Pakistan. I wonder how Channel Nine's cricket ratings are going, perfection is boring lol. Bring on the Kiwis - or with me I should be saying Bring on the Aussies :) The conditions back home should be better than the Gabba and WACA that we got slaughtered on in November...
Later peeps
Pauly
