| Utilizing my two days off to the max with nonproductivity. |
[Nov. 8th, 2009|12:36 am] |
Friday and Saturday: No school, no work, no school work.
So I wanted to make the most out of my days off by not doing anything at all, just laying in bed. I have a bit of a cold, so I figured the rest would do me some good as well.
Friday:
I indeed did lay in bed all day. I watched a bunch of movies I hadn't gotten around to in a while. I saw:
1. 500 Days of Summer: It's actually my first time, surprisngly. I know I'm like the only girl who hasn't seen this. I thought it was pretty good, relatable, and made some good points. I'm not adding it to my favorite movies list or anything though. Zooey looks really old in closeups--she's got lots of wrinkles. Just saying.
2. Paris Je T'aime: This was my second time watching this. I wasn't too crazy about it the first time. I wasn't too crazy about it the second time either. My favorite "scenes" are:
3. A Very Long Engagement: It was indeed a very, long engagement (lol you don't even know how many times I've used this line). This was my eh.. sort of 2nd time watching this. The first time I saw it, I watched the beginning, ffw through the middle, and saw the ending. I found out my 3 favorite actors (who all happen to be French, go figure) are in it! Gaspard Ulliel, Marion Cotillard, and Audrey Tatou. Of course, I was aware that Gaspard and Audrey were in it, but I didn't realize Marion was. I enjoyed the cinematography. It was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie), therefore had his signature warm tones and a bunch of the actors from Amelie (my favorite movie). So I suppose this movie gets extra brownie points for that and having my favorite acteurs.
4. Lost in Translation: First time seeing this. Well, once my cousin and I movie-hopped into the middle of it, sat for like 5 minutes, then left, so that doesn't really count. Ever since then, I never cared to watch it (even though it's a Sofia Coppola film) because it just seemed really slow-paced and boring. Yeah, I was pretty right. It wasn't as boring as I expected, but it didn't do much for me. Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson don't do much for me, sorry to say.
THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T DO WHILE SICK:
I had a crazy craving for sweets. I really wanted ice cream (I always want ice cream though) or cake or something. I was tempted to go buy myself an entire chocolate cake, but figured I had to then buy milk, and I only want Over The Moon Milk (THEBESTMILKINTHEWORLD) and idk where to get that around here. So I grabbed a roll of Oreos and ate all of it, in 20 minutes, while laying in bed. I later regretted this when I started to feel sick. Yet, around 10pm, I dragged my ass out of bed and went to In-N-Out and ordered a strawberry milkshake and animal fries (WITH EXTRA CHEESE) LOL. I would've gotten it well-done too if I had remembered hahahaaaa... :|
Usually, when someone's sick, they usually layer up to keep themselves warm, you know, wear sweats, sweaters, scarves, etc. Anyway, I decided today to wear nothing but my tshirt and undies. I used to always wear clothes when I sleep, but lately, it's been quite the opposite. I always like to blast the heater during the winter, and wear as little clothes as possible. Anyway, TMI, sorry.
Saturday:
I went to my dad's, had lunch, did laundry, and yea that's about it. Managed to get some reading in. I'm currently (leisure) reading Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. I've had a slow start on it so far, since I've been really busy, but I'm hoping to finish it this week.
