Heh heh heh.
So this is what I did during the weekend. I had a great time, needless to say.
There was a great deal of trepidation involved in watching Blue Planet at the IMAX theatre. For one, my attention span nowadays is the equivalent of ….ok, I will ditch the hokey cliches and just say – it’s short. I’m not exactly the someone who enjoys National Geographic documentaries. Plus, I was sleepy, after all the traipsing throughout the day. But the visuals of Blue Planet blew me away. I wonder how I would like to see Return of The King on an IMAX screen. Aah!
I played a lot of games the past two days. GTA:VIce City is on hold for now, I wanted some gore and blood in my life, so Unreal Tournament 2003, Unreal 2 and Return To Castle Wolfenstein provided them in ample quantities. Although all three are mostly about visual eye-candy ( i find that I prefer the original UT to the newer avatar), Wolfenstein was good, especially after the initial levels are crossed and the supernatural presences start appearing. I played it until 3 AM yesterday, with the lights turned off, and I couldn’t get used to how brilliant the graphics were.
And there was this two-volume set of The Complete Monty Python Scripts that I picked up from MR Book Stall. A collected edition of James Thurber’s short stories ( 90 short stories, to be precise).
And the first Elric of Melnibone book. It’s been a very, very long journey – me and Elric, and I felt really nostalgic when I read this book. It also made me feel quite old.
Also watched Pirates of the Carribean, which wasn’t as good as good as it was made out to be. Except for Johnny Depp.
Tehzeeb, Tehzeeb, Tehzeeb, Tehzeeb, Tehzeeb.
Oh Gods, RotK on IMAX …. *swoons*
PotC isn’t so great story-wise. *nods* But you know what it’s like for us rabid drooling Johnny Depp fangirls … XD
*downloading the movie*
he he .. u’r Icon is cool!!
Thank you! :D
Talking about icons, yours is quite scary!
Oh. That’s just him, I guess. He’s a scary guy, especially when he’s sober. ;-)

duh-duh-downloading the *entire* movie?
I hate Broadband.
And I will continue to do so until I get a connection myself.

boy oh boy!
am i going to get lucky.
Except for Johnny Depp.
and that “bend it like.. “(?) girl
Ah! The “dish”. Keira Knightley. Of course. Thanks for reminding me.
If you like RtCW, you should definitely play Medal of Honor:Allied Assault. MoH:AA is even better than RtCW in the cinematic feel and relentless action. Very cool.
And I share your feelings on UT2003. The things I miss the most are the sniper rifle and the assault mode. Which is exactly what they are going to take care of in UT2004! W00t!
