Lost in Translation

Yeah...So it is currently 5:01AM and I am quite fucked off. I cannot get to sleep and it is all because I was retarded enough to lay in bed all day and watch 24.

And look what I do...Write a blog about it. Haha. Christ.

What have I been up to? Well, I just finished watching Lost in Translation and I have to admit. I have completely falled in love with it. As well as Scarlett Johansson. What a lovely, lovely film. I think it has shot right up there with my personal favourites of Fight Club, American Beauty and Stand By Me. Something about it which just...I do not know how to describe it. Just gives me a nice emotion. Maybe I can connect to the characters or something, but either way, I love it. Hats off to you, Ms. Coppola.

On a movie note, I have not really been following my A-Z list. While it is still a great idea, I have found it difficult to go through the processes and watch predetermined movies. I shall hopefully have another stab at it in the not too distant future. Instead, though, I have been downloading and watching random movies. A few from the 80s, such as St. Elmo's Fire, The Breakfast Club and so on. What else have I watched recently...Hmm. Cannot think...

BUT. I saw Transformers 2 on Friday night. Holy hot dicks from China. It was insanely good. I went in there expecting a half arse plot, if anything, but wanting action action action. This is what I received. It is like Michael Bay read all the feedback from Transformers 1 and thought, rught oh chaps, let's turn this up to ELEVEN. I think I may go see it again. It's just so much fun, even with those annoying twin robot jobbies. Fierkin' dierks.

I'll leave this for now. I really do want to add more to this blog. Well, I shall try...

Awk, y'know what. I was about to start a post about my events over the past...Wee while and now I have just realised I need to get a train to Belfast very very soon. Going house hunting you see.

I'll come back and write some shite in a few hours.

Blue Bins and Chimneys

Well...First post of the "summer". It has been quite a while since I have posted, mainly for the following reasons: Revision, actual carrying out of exams, laziness, summer times and gettin' lit.

It has been a mad few days this past week since I finished my exams. Shocking to myself, I felt I performed well in my exams. In the Physical paper I know there was one question I got wrong as soon as I looked at my notes, but I think it is safe to say I have acheived higher than 40%, without being arrogant. So it is all good in the proverbial hood!

From 7AM Saturday it has been non stop. Did some revision before the exam, did the exam, went home for a little bit of a dance for celebrating - On my own, yeah, yeah, sad or what - then on to Botanic to catch a train. As soon as I landed in Bangor it was straight to the nice part of Ballyholme beach. After hours spent there I came home chilled then decided to have a good group of lads come round to my place. Suffice to say we all got horrendously pissed. Roddy got fucked up big time, was hilarious to watch. Which reminds me, that drinking game named "Fuck the Dealer" we played, is probably the best game to play ever for drinking. It is simple and not everyone needs to be tuned in to play 100% of the time.

Sunday was more beach, then pass out when I came home on the sofa.

Monday was more beach, but in Helen's Bay this time. Then I had a BBQ at mine with everybody and then onto the infamous Half Price Wine. Good wee night, some funny photos up on Facebook.

Tuesday was more beach, but in Crawfordsburn this time.

Wednesday was...MORE beach, but mainly swimming. Tom has a couple of friends, Vicky and Sam, over from Glasgow. So we did a little dander about Bangor, got a 7ate9, splashed about on the swans and stuff. Was a nice wee impromtu day. Seems all my brilliant days have been impromtu so far, not complaining!

Fuck, went to see TERMINATOR last night. Fucking AWESOME film. Loved it. Action in it is freakin' superb. I wouldn't mind seeing it again sometime soon.

Saw this image this morning. Thought it was quite hilarious. It hilarious because we all know it is true. Maybe I should actually use the image's advice...

Anywho, haircut at 3:30 then going to Betty Black's tonight to get b-b-boozay!

Cheers,

Matt.
