so what happened?

since my short "vacation" is coming to an end in few hours, it's time for me to reflect on what i did & what took place during that period.

i watched:

1. the godfather trilogy - could have been the best trilogy of all time, were it not for sophia coppola's acting in part III of the trilogy, but generally the story on michael corleone's rise to power was told in a good way. a quote i remember from the trilogy "i know it was you fredo, you broke my heart, you broke my heart" -michael corleone to his brother fredo in part II.

2. star wars episode I-VI - time to revive my nerdy & geeky alter-ego... this was one heck of a lengthy movie marathon, now try to imagine me watching 6 movies, with each one of them having a running time of at least 2hrs... sheeeeesh i probably won't do that again. anyways, i just realized that although the story of the star wars series was good, the acting sucked and SUCKED REAL GOOD, notwithstanding that some of today's accomplished actors and actresses were involved in the movie. (oh by the way, i think that a young harrison ford looks like steve martin hehehehe..)

3. friday night lights (the movie) - another nice movie about a high school american football team. it portrayed the life of teenagers who are idolized by the whole town, and for these teenagers and their coach to keep up with too many expectations.. (lid's verdict: three thumbs up!!! yes people i'm an alien born with three thumbs hahahaha)

4. napoleon dynamite - one of the weirdest movies i ever watched, but it was so weird that it was actually very good.. quote i remember from the movie - "vote for pedro, vote for pedro"

5. samurai champloo - this is an anime series, it has a good story which is unique in it's own way and the fighting scenes were also good. plus the animation was done in a nice way.

music albums i listened to:

1. infinity on a high by fall out boy - good album, nice songs from an emo band.

2. don't fake it by the red jumpsuit apparatus - now this band has a weird name but they came up with a good debut album, way to go.

3. all albums by explosions in the sky - i didn't think for a second that an instrumental rock band could ever exist, but they proved me wrong, more so when they were able to come up with 4 albums.. they rock!!!

books i read:

actually nothing as in nothing hehehe, aside of course from few time magazine & news articles from the internet but other than that i didn't open any books during this short vacation.

for this blog:

1. i changed the banner of my blog, it features homer co'z i got tired from watching stewie smoking hehehe

2. i added a tiger pet (named tiger lid), just to show the world how pathetic i become...

3. i added a blogger and firefox buttons (firefox is much better and secure than internet explorer.... i know i'm very very bad in endorsing products hehehehe)

also wasted the majority of my precious golden time:

1. chatting with friends

2. sleeping (now what's a vacation without sleeping hehehehe)

due to lack of time (well, i spent majority of the time sleeping and chatting) i wasn't able to:

1. watch the harry potter series

2. watch band of brothers series for the nth time (oh well i still don't get bored watching it)

3. read any good books

4. change the layout of this trashy blog

5. watch samurai 7 co'z i just discovered that the files i downloaded were corrupt buhuhuhuhu
