Oh gosh, only 95 day's until I'm home again
yay! I really can't wait. Studying abroad seemed like such fun at first. And it was, till six months passed. Gosh.
Anyway,
Book and Film review time? I think so!
So I watched Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist yesterday. It wasn't as good as I expected it to be; I thought it would be on the same level as Garden state. Which it wasn't but it was still a nice movie- and as to be expected, it had an awesome playlist. Although I didn't quite understand the last line. I think I’ll read the book.
I also saw August Rush [finally!] and that was also a pretty wicked movie. I really liked it, the whole idea was cute, and the whole 'ohmigawd everyone’s meeting at the same place at the same time!' factor was good as well
but the ending wasn't the best. Like honestly- how would the dad know that it was his son, honestly? He didn't even know the girl was preggers. Anyway. it was still an awesome movie.
And in between watching those two movies, I also watched Lars and the Real girl. Which unlike the other two had quite a fulfilling ending. The whole thing was good, and I’m not going to lie, I teared up he said that Bianca was dying. I'd recommend seeing it if you're in an indie film kind of mood.
I finally finished the amber spyglass (the third in "his dark materials" by Phillip Pullman) and that book was fantastic. Aw I cried when Will and Lyra left each other. And I totally dreamt up possible situations the night I finished it. T'was good. I would absolutely recommend those books to anyone.
Also! Guess who bought the fourth book in the Dexter series! "Dexter by Design" by Jeff Lindsay; oh man, these books are so friggin good it's impossible to say just HOW good they are. Not the mention the TV series is just as good as the books, if not better. Friggin Splendiferous!
So I’m so excited to read it, I’ve only gotten 37 pages into it so far.
Another book I’ve recently read was Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe. I wouldn't recommend it but only because it makes me ashamed to be white. But it's a really good book if you can get through it. Loads of people my age think it's boring, and a generally lame book. But if you have an hour or two to read. You can get through it fairly easily. It's really just the last few chapters that have impact or meaning.
Oh and I still need to finish reading Through the Looking-Glass. The Alice in wonderland one. I bought that book ages ago when I went to Oxford, and I should seriously finish all these book's I’m reading.
Anyway. That was me attempting to be a nerdier nerd than I already am.
Toodles.
On one final note; I haven't been able to draw as of late :'(
