…my website, but:

kanyewebsiteOh, Kanye! Why must you ruin everything?! *runs away in tears*

I’m just making fun now. If you’d love to try out this meme, type http://kanyelicio.us/ on your browser address bar (including the forward slash) and type your website address right after. It’ll load up your website with the Kanye West graphic overlaid on it. It’s quite amusing, really…

And oh yeah, if you have no idea what I’m talking about, then you’ve been living under a rock since last Sunday night! I’ve been jammin’ to Taylor Swift (not that I haven’t ever anyway) even more lately after the incident… such a talented girl.

The Dark Knight

Yes, I was finally able to watch it last night with Pierre on IMAX… and I loved every single minute of it!

I think mostly everyone I know has seen it at least in the first two weeks it opened (multiple times for some of you too!), so I was pretty much behind. Finally had some free time after work, so I headed downtown to see it with Pierre.

We got the tickets at the Scotiabank Theatre first, then headed to eat at East! (got their seafood pad thai, which I love). We managed to eat pretty quickly, so right after that, off to watch The Dark Knight we went! Since it’s been more than a month, we thought that the theatre would only have 5-10 (20 max, maybe) people in it. When we went in the theatre, it was already 60% full, so we ended up sitting at the third row from the front…which wasn’t too bad since it was an IMAX theatre. After that, people just kept coming in and 90% of the theatre was filled up before showtime. Man! I didn’t think the movie was still bringing in that much of a crowd…and on a Thursday night too.

If you haven’t seen the movie in IMAX, see it again… it’s a must. I think that they should start making more IMAX movies since they’re just totally amazing in that format. (I can’t wait for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince in IMAX, by the way!) If you haven’t seen the movie at all, stop living under a rock like I’ve been for the last month and go see it already. I was just totally mesmerized by Heath Ledger’s performance as The Joker. The role just suited him so… such a sad thing, the whole story.

Anyway, I’m glad to have finally seen the movie. Who wants to go see it (again)? I’ll gladly pay another $15 to see it in IMAX! :D

Doctor Who

July 13, 2008 Rye 1 comment

I’ve heard of Doctor Who in the past, but never really showed much interest in it. I always thought that it was one of those TV shows geared more towards kids, so that the sci-fi aspect of it is going to be toned down and whatnot. Boy, was I ever wrong! I’m now hooked on it and I’m already halfway done season 2… and I’ve just started watching it on Wednesday.

I still have to alternate watching Torchwood with Doctor Who. After the two, it’s Battlestar Galactica… this is going to be one summer filled with catching up on TV shows. I’m a big fan of Doctor Who now. Thanks, Dan! This is all your fault… damn you!

I’ll have what he’s having

Oh, hey there, Mr. Sexy Man. I’ll have what you have. Better yet, let me lick some of that ice cream. As long as you don’t invisibly saw my skull off then eat my brains later. *giggles*

Desire

April 28, 2007 Rye 1 comment

I had already been asleep for a couple of hours, but I woke up again to go to the washroom. After that, I couldn’t easily fall back to sleep. I decided to finally watch the latest episode of Grey’s Anatomy to catch up.

I thought it was a very well-written episode. There was a lot of character development on this one and as well as the set-up to George’s potential exit/leave and Addison’s spinoff. I mean, if you didn’t see that one coming at the end of that episode… she basically has nothing left in Seattle Grace, and when a person is in that position, the decision that pops into your head first is to pack up, leave, and start a new life. I can’t wait for that show!

I just love how this show always makes me contemplate somewhat about life after each of those little ending narrations. I always relate to them, which is a plus, and why I love this show so much. In the end, it was said that “Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can’t have. Desire leaves us heartbroken. It wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But as tough as wanting something can be, the people who suffer the most are those who don’t know what they want.”

I have experienced wanting something you can’t have and not knowing what you want. It is so true that you suffer more if you’re confused about what you want. I’d rather be heartbroken over something I can’t have. At least I know that I made a decision, and I wanted something. Yes, most of the time, things are easier said than done. Confusion always clouds up your judgment and sometimes you don’t realize what’s in front of your very eyes until it’s gone.

I’ll tell you this though.
Right now, I have a clear picture of exactly what I want and I can have it.
And I will go for it.
