incriminati - hide your drugs as fast as you can

Ha ha ha....

This is pretty funny - not so much the dragging stuff as the stuff you have to drag...don't even wanna know about Gary Glitter and the hand cuffs...

incriminati - hide your drugs as fast as you can

Why is it...

...that I struggle to get through 20 pages of reading for school, but I crammed the last 150 pages of "The Da Vinci Code" (yes, I read it in English) in between breakfast and shower this morning?

I know, I, as the literature student, shouldn't be saying this, but what a book!! I actually found myself interested in art and history (yes, I know not all of it is true) and also reading a thriller, which usually isn't my thing - but with all the twist and turns...well, I've never been a stranger to or a critic of pop culture, so I might as well admit to the fact that this book got me as well :D

Anyways, can't wait for the film to come out - only downside is Tom Hanks playing Robert Langdon...me and a couple of girlfriends saw him more as a George Clooney-kinda type ;)

My good deed :)

Well, I'm done with my 1 year quaranteen (damn those saffas :) ), so on Wednesday I went to the blood bank for my very first blood donation.

The nurse made the unsmart move of starting out by telling me that she was going to use a bigger needle today...I'm luckily not scared of needles, and it wasn't a big deal; just a lot of lying down and about 1 second of pain. Other than that, I spend 20 minutes staring at the ceiling, and this note they had upthere that said: "Don't bother counting the holes. There 13.543 of them." I thought that was pretty amusing.

Anyways, the best part is that you get chocolate and juice (or whatever you'd like instead - just not alcohol :D) afterwards. Oh yeah, and I got one of those plastic bracelets that are all the hibe at the moment. So I decided to get very graphic and show y'all the hole from where she stuck the needle in me and my fancy new bracelet :D

"The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe"

Date&time: 14/02, 21:00
Place: Biocity
With: Ole, Britta, Hanne & Mads

Yet again, a film for which I have read the book - actually, all of the books - just last fall, but I'm sort of getting used to wieving a film missing half the original action. Besides, to me, half the fun is watching the characters from the book come alive - do they look and act like I imagined them? I noticed the children in Narnia looking very English, which I guess was good :) But the main thing were the creatures and the talking animals, which were brilliant. I especially liked the beaver speaking Cockney English and, of course, Aslan.

I WILL have to comment on the "book to film"-issue. The film was 2hr12mins, and still, the story was cut down to its very basics. Generally, I think it worked well, but I was a bit surprised, when the children - in particular Edward and Peter - go from innocent kids to great warriors in about 30 seconds. I think they go through quite a development in that stage that you totally miss out on...

But, in an effort not to turn this into a comparison that will undoubtedly end of giving the book the majority of the praise, I'm just gonna go ahead and rate it "yeah, it was okay"! :D I had expected a bit more, I guess, because of the world that I know from the books, and I guess that if you haven't already read the Narnia Chronicles, this will just be a kid's movie to you.

Back to school...

Uni started up on the 1st of February and I had my first classes at bloody 8:15 am yesterday - me getting up at 7-ish must've been a bit like watching "Night of the living dead". On top of that, my first class back was "Language 2", which I do not find anymore interesting that I did "Language 1".

Anyways, just trying to get fully organized, so I won't be suddenly without books I urgently need and I won't spend half my time panicking over stuff I should've read, but now realise I don't have the time for. It is my goal to be organized this semester, so I don't end up the migraine-suffering mess I was last year.

So that's my little life. All the exciting stuff is happening to Mads with the birthday, the new job, the emmensely tragic sale of the Powerbook and so on. But being the good girlfriend that I am, I'm being emotional for him, so he won't have to bother with that :D
