Owwwww...

Owwwww…just suffered a bump on my head while I was trying to lean back to read a book. I can be such a loser.

Anyway, can’t sleep, and don’t really feel like reading either (though I’ve got tons of books that I bought and haven’t read =( ), so I thought I’d blog a bit. Don’t mind the bad grammer ‘cos I’m trying to type my thoughts as quickly as possible. =)

I rewatched Wonder Boys today.I bought the VCD for S$13 bucks from HMV on Friday evening as I’ve been meaning to buy the video for about a year. I was looking for the DVD version but they didn’t have it at HMV. I’ve got a feeling that I have to thank the censorship board for that. =( Anyway, I’m going look out for the DVD version in other shops, if they have it, I’m going to sell my my VCD copy to buy it. Which leads to — naturally — what a great film it is. I had heard all the great reviews of it ages ago. When I watched it on Friday, I didn’t think much of it because I was largely distracted and rather tired. So I wasn’t paying much attention to the dialogue. I decided to give the film a second chance today because I knew I wasn’t paying due attention the first time. Anyways, the dialogue turned out to be funny as hell. I’d say it’s a dark yet subtle comedy. The acting is brilliant: Michael Douglas’s perfect as the sloppy english professor although one might not imagine him to fit the role considering the ‘suave’ characers he’s played in his film career. Tobey Maguire’s just Tobey Maguire (hahahah).

Anyway…

Going out with some choir friends after my yoga class tomorrow, should be fun. I’m badly in need of exercise, haven’t been doing so for the last month. I’ve practically lost my muscle mass and I can’t even hang on to a handstand for more than 5 seconds now, compared to my one minute or so just a month ago. I’m not going for my ashtanga class (often called power yoga, the Americanised version) for the time being while I get back my strength in the regular Hatha yoga classes (see my yoga school’s schedule).

On an unrelated topic, I have free tickets to Star Wars AOTC on the 29th of May. It’s a bit late, and I’m already planning on watching it closer to the opening day if possible, but the free screening is a bonus. I’ve read sneak screening reviews that highly praise the film so I’m looking forward to it. I hope it’s going to be in the league of Empire Strikes Back, though these are lofty expectations - few films can ever top that one. Episode I was a downer, let’s just hope AOTC won’t disappoint.
