Went and saaw a production of Aveune Q presented by SLAMS Musical Theatre Company. It was fun and different from my previous viewings. It's always interesting to see how different groups handle the same material ( Read more... )

Went and watched Scott Pilgrim and Kickass at the Astor for 9 bucks! A veritable bargain, but I am a big SP fan. Every time I watch it, I find something new. And even now (5th time on a big screen) I still found something new ( Read more... )

Seeing Laputa and Porco Rosso on the big screen was really incredible. The print quality weren't great, but that just added to the flavour in my opinion. The turnout was ok, but I really didn't notice, as I was sitting at the front and having fun resting my legs on the wall ( Read more... )

Oh in other news I actually sat down and finished an anime series...the first time I'd done that in years. It was Full Metal Panic The Second Raid, and it was a bit darker and less comedy than the first series, but still I guess all the inanity got shunted off to Fumoffu (an awesome series that I recommend).

I saw True Grit, and it's a really good movie, with a lot of black humour which isn't what you expect from a "revenge" movie. The fact that it's almost completely straight is just insane, since it's a Coen Brothers movie ( Read more... )

• Sore throat + 7 hour Karaoke = totally worth the pain and damage
• sitting on their crappy seats for 7 hours KILLS your butt and coccyx :(
• I need to actually learn some of the songs I choose, ( Read more... )

Well...had a small dinner with friends and a get-together at my place over the weekend. Parents did the typical Asian parent thing and vacated the house for the day, which was a nice gesture ( Read more... )

Supremely busy and bored at work, so sneaking a quick LJ post :P

Had my birthday recently which was nice, had a nice quiet dinner and cake with the family :)

Oh and watched a doco about Wagner hosted by Stephen Fry and talked to an old MIFF buddy for an hour. Man...I looove talking about film. :P

Short version: They're both good movies, but for different reasons ( Read more... )

Richard's back in town and I managed to catchup with him at the last Queen Vic night market, which was fun. It was great to see him again and to have a chat. Plus the food at the queen vic was awesome...I was patriotic and went to the Aussie food tent again and had some Emu, croc and roo ( Read more... )
