In a heart full of dust
lives a creature called lust
it surprises and scares

Hello, dear reader, how are things?

Yes, I’m still alive and no, nothing worth mentioning happened in the past 2 months. Carry on.

Liffe starts today (I mean for me) and I have six movies on my list. Which is like a personal record or something. Anyhoo, here they are if someone cares:

XXY
Zbegani
Okužena kri
Zidane: portret 21. stoletja
Nadzor
Michael Clayton

Not entirely sure why it’s on my list: DiCillo’s Delirious
Not entirely sure why it’s not on my list: Anderson’s Darjeeling Limited
Most excited about: Corbijn’s Control

Today’s top 3:

Annoying: presidential campaign.

My favourite: tea. Yes, it’s my new obsession.

Song of the week: The Killers feat. Lou Reed: Tranquilize. Oh, I do love it so.

Hello, dear reader, just a quick update so you know I’m still alive:

- the M word we will not mention: no comment
- new job I might or might not get but I’ll know for sure after dealing with it for 2 months: no comment
- basketball: no comment

Today’s top 3:

 
Annoying: the new job thing

Annoying: the basketball thing

Annoying: getting up at 7 in the morning for no reason due to the annoying new job thing

Sheepy sheep sheep art

Groovy street art (both brought to you via Black Betty)

The vandal King

And just for the fun of it, here’s a t-shirt Mladina is willing to sell you.

Annoying: everything

My favourite: Myspace. There’s no end to the things I come up with just to avoid studying…

In yet another missed memo from the music world news: The new album by Foo Fighters is apparently scheduled for September 25th . Good to know.

Did we know Pink is an actress now?

In "Catacombs," the new hair-raising thriller from the producers of the hit film "Saw," Victoria (Shannyn Sossamon, star of "A Knight's Tale") heads to City of Lights to visit her wild sister Carolyn (Alecia Moore a/k/a music superstar Pink).
One night, Victoria is swept into the Parisian underground rave scene, literally under ground into the city's Catacombs. It is here--among the bodies of the dead which have rested undisturbed for centuries--that the easily frightened Victoria finds herself lost in the darkness, pursued by someone or something more terrifying than she could have ever imagined...

Release date is currently TBA but here's a crappy quality trailer if anyone cares.

Can’t be bothered.

Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor.

Hello dear reader, how are things on your end?

I have a question for you all: do you ever buy books? And I don’t mean books you need for school and such but books you just must have for your own piece of mind. And if you do, do you also read them then? Well, I suppose you do…
Because I don’t. Read them that is. A buy stacks of them. There are piles and piles of books around me and it was straight from shop to shelf for most of them. But I just had to have them and I still do. I can lend them, no problem, but I wouldn’t give a single one away under any circumstances.
Should I see someone about this?

And speaking of books, what is the weirdest book you have ever read?

You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes...

Today’s top 3:

Annoying: must-start-studying.

My favourite: Maximo Park. Why did I ignore them for so long?

News of the day: Roisin has her second solo album scheduled for this year and the first single has been out for a month or so. Again, my sources are complete crap.

Snatched from other places, I give you The Kool Kats.
In other words, there will be a new incredibly cool person here for my your enjoyment whenever I can be bothered with posting.
And no, suggestions are not welcome. Get your own cool people.
But feel free to diss my choices. I won’t care anyway.

Session One: Benicio Del Toro



It don't get much cooler than that.

As you all know I have now officially been banned from pretty much everywhere. I won’t waste our time with speeches on the topic, you can all more or less guess how I feel about it. But I did go out and buy new supplies today and got an unstoppable urge to buy Marlboro red 100’s. Which are longer than the ones I usually smoke, the brand itself is stronger and they are the plain kind and I usually get the light kind. Consider it a form of a peaceful protest.
And to show what a good sport I am here are the entertaining bits of this whole thing:
- in today’s Dnevnik an 18 year old girl states that what she will miss the most is the morning coffee cigarette and if we could maybe adjust the law a bit and allow smoking from let’s say 7 to 8 in the morning that would be just dandy.
- the British linguistic dilemma brought to you by my favourite Tadej

Annoying: lots

My favourite: Marlboro 100’s, baby!

Email of the day: When your pc screen is all white (like a word page, for example), your computer consumption is about 74 Watt. When it’s all black, the average is about 54 Watt. Because of this, a few months ago, Mark Ontlush wrote an article about the amount of energy that could be saved if Google had a black background instead of white.
Considering the high popularity of the website, according to Mark, the energy savings would be about 750 MW-Hour per year. Answering to this post, Google created a black version of its search engine named Blackle.com (http://blackle.com) that works exact same way as the original version but uses less power.

OK, kids, here are the 25 most must see summer 2007 movies according to Premiere:

Spider-Man 3
28 Weeks Later
Shrek the Third
Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End
A Mighty Heart
Knocked Up
Sicko
Gracie
Hostel Part II
Ocean's Thirteen
Surf's Up
Nancy Drew
Live Free or Die Hard
Ratatouille
Transformers
Rescue Dawn
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Hairspray
I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry
No Reservations
El Cantante
The Simpsons Movie
Rush Hour 3
Joshua
Superbad

I’ve seen 4, didn’t particularly like any of them, could perhaps be persuaded to go see another 2, absolutely refuse to go see 5 and the rest I just don’t care about. Meh.

 
And speaking of movies:

Random movies that are already out (or almost there) and I’m looking forward to (for various reasons):

- Michael Clayton
- Rendition
- Things We Lost in the Fire
- Darjeeling Limited
- Vantage Point
- No Country for Old Men
- Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead
- The Bourne Ultimatum

Movies I can’t wait for but are nowhere near done cause certain people think we have all the time in the world and there’s no hurry:

- Guerrilla/The Argentine
Two movies about Che Guevara (the Cuban revolution and the years after), directed by Steven Soderbergh and with Benicio Del Toro as Che. It can hardly get any better than that.

- Burn After Reading
Cohen brothers, George Clooney as an assassin, Brad Pitt as a yet unidentified weird character, John Malkovich in the lead (unless he drops out) and Frances McDormand as his wife.

There’s a complete tie between these two projects in my head and I’ll be the happiest little camper when they finally come out.
