Oh dear, oh dear... Where does time go? Okay here we go time to play catch up!
FRIDAY
I went to see two movies with the boyfriend and sister. First we saw "
The Ghost Writer" which was a surpisingly awesome treat. Polanski really got me back in the "Chinatown" feel and I found myself in love with the movie (except maybe the very end, which I felt was a bit too much like one of Dan Brown's "
Robert Langdon Mystery Club" scenarios) The performances and dialogue throughout were just too freaking wonderful and it made me curse the trailer a bit.
After that we watched "
The Runaways" (this year's bio-pic) and I kinda loved it. It's a silly garbage movie that doesn't really have a point, although some would argue "girl-power" or "without them..." is the point, but calm down, I liked it, alright? Again, it really is garbage, but it has some pretty cool performances (mainly Dakota Fanning's kick ass
take on Cherie Currie, but also Kristen Stewart who
doesn't stutter once!) and I never once found myself bored and it
is fucking crazy the shit they actually
did for that time (and even now, really, I mean Cherie was SIXTEEN!!!).
SATURDAY
I had to work, but afterwards Tay and I went to dinner at Red Robin (gotta love the endless fries!) and then went to see "
Repo Men", I think needless to say it wasn't my idea and it was bad... The movie plays like snippets of good action movies thrown into a blender and pureed into shit... It has elements taken from every action movie pretty much, but main highlights were Blade Runner, Pulp Fiction, Old Boy and Lock Stock... Instead of heading out to this one, you should just spend the $12 renting the old releases it tries so hard to emulate...
SUNDAY
I worked and Tay went to family dinner. I also got to work on my application to get a grant from the government to write a screenplay called "Captain (Native) America"! I'm super excited to write it and hope I can maybe even get funded next year to make it myself!
MONDAY & TUESDAY
Didn't do much... Had to go to effing ICBC and pay $300 before my birthday because I got two speeding tickets in a 12 month period, even though one was Oct 2008 and the other was August 2009, lame I know... So anyways I went to the shit-hole fifth layer of hell that is the Surrey ICBC office and had to wait 45 mins to pay the stupid thing. Their system is effing ridiculous! You get there and they give you a number and a lettered card:
Then they say "NEXT!" I'm sorry, but I don't understand right away so QUEEN BITCH:
Shouts that the number will be called in sequence, but since my task is quick and easy they might call the letter sooner... They didn't call the letter... So we just sat there and waited the 45 mins while queen bitch did nothing but stare off into space at her stupid computer and trashy people gathered around... I had to delouse myself afterwards because I was afraid this rug (held under some girl's hair) sent it's residents my way looking for shelter on my scalp!
I kid... I kid... But seriously, the colors didn't even match on the extensions... I'm such a cunt!
TODAY
I was supposed to hang with my pal beric after Tay went to work, but our schedules confucked a bit, so we're going to try again tomorrow. Instead, I went downtown with Tay and got my tax form from VFS (the one I've been waiting on for 3 weeks now) and finally filed them taxes. Got an okay return, will be using it to pay back my sister for the $300 at ICBC. <3 her for always being there when I need help!
So there we have it, I'm gonna be 24 on Sunday (party on Saturday night).
Thanks for reading loves,
Tyrel
