my week off

well, we had 'reading week' which was supposed to be a week when uni students read books that will help with their course or whatever. honestly, the closest thing to reading a book this week is a page of wes andersons college short story.
and catalogue's to decide what i want for christmas (although that has nothing to do with my course, but it was the only physical book that i've read).

it hasn't been very eventful at all.
instead of celebrating halloween by dressing up and going to town drinking, i decided to bake a cake dedicated to my favourite horror character, the frankenstein monster :)
hardly much of a dedication considering i just put green food colouring in that i bought from the co-op by tyne met months ago, but it was the closest thing it was going to be towards a dedication.
i think whenever i'm bored on days off, i plan to bake like that again. i like the idea of having a new hobby.

something else that happened this week is the price of the tickets for the green hornet premiere. a lot better than what i was prepared for it to be. plus, instead of waiting outside for hours like at the alice in wonderland premiere, i'll be inside with the cast and crew.
i like convincing myself that i'm going, because really, how could i say no to the chance of meeting seth rogen and michael gondry? they're in totally different leagues of the interest of film i have, yet they're both going to be there.
even if i don't go, it's really had me thinking about future premieres i could possibly attend.

speaking of the future, for college we had 2 essays to write, one of them being about what future career you'd like tv production wise. i didn't enjoy writing this essay, but it really did make me think about what i'll end up doing. i'd love to be working on films one day, and it just seems closer than i imagine, now that i have a mental idea of 2 roles i'd love. i just need to be prepared to move.

the other essay we had to write was about any film we liked. i decided to do about a new favourite i've already mentioned on here recently, the squid and the whale.
just writing about it, and studying about it with the extra features on the dvd has made me love it a lot more than i realised. i'm not surprised if i end up watching it again soon.

other things i've watched recently are mean creek, you don't mess with the zohan, the wedding singer, hot rod, i heart huckabee's, 40 year old virgin.

i also went to the cinema with liv to see 'easy a', which i'd been looking forward to seeing it since i saw the trailer before cyrus a few weeks back.
it seemed like such a girly film, i can't decide now if i like it as much as i did after i saw it, but it does seem like one of those guilty pleasure films.
i keep laughing at the idea of alex delarge being the head teacher of the high school in the film though.

and yesterday with liv we did the charity buckets at tesco.
it wasn't the most enjoyable time i've done the buckets, but it did go really fast. i think it was because of the system we put together for letting one of us sit for half an hour with the heavier bucket, and the other stand with the lighter bucket. obviously, i convinced liv to make me sit down longer than her! but it was a nice way of keeping track of the time.
the sky man was next to us, and he looked a mix between john barrowman and tom cruise. he kept trying to make conversation, but it was just weird.
me and liv were flabbergasted.

don't really know what else great happened this week. was a particularly boring half term.

oh and it's halloween. doing nothing. was going to have a film marathon of scary films, but i guess i'll put on something tim burton, then something scarier before i sleep. ugh i wish i had people who would celebrate with me or something, jeezessgbtgig.
let's hope there's reduced frankenstein cookies or something tomorrow :o
