Give up the War

Wow, I think this is the first time ive posted a blog in the morning. ever. anyway i ment to do this last week. been busy. kinda.

so whats been happening you ask? well you didnt but your here so you must want to know. other wise leave now and dont return.

so first off i've recently borrowed "Need For Speed: Undercover" from Simon and I'm addicted to its repetative gameplay. seriously incredibly repetative but the car chases are just so damn fun that i cant put it down. already half way through it. Pretty good for someone who sucks at and hates car games that dont involve grand theft.

Went to Northland with Matt on tuesday to go buy a excercise book as i didnt have one for uni. did the usual around there and found something that nearly made my head explode. The little known of "Star Trek: The Animated Series" (which ive known has been on dvd for ages, thats not the explodey part) for $24. last i checked JB had it for $95 or so. damn right i picked that thing up, still as good as i remember it as when i used to watch it a 3am...well i only saw it twice...and it was the same episode but still...
if you like star trek or classic animation pick it up aswell.

Saw "Tron" the other day too. i like. alot.

So inbetween Need for Speed and Star Trek ive been listening to some new musics that i bought. mainly more Starflyer 59 (only 2 more albums and ive got the whole discography) in particular "Leave here a stranger" which is fantastic as always. Also got some stuff from House of Wires which is worth checking out, especially the songs "busy" and "when words fall"
Downloaded something by Kylie last night too. i feel so dirty now. Her duet with Nick Cave done sometime in the past is actually pretty good and y'know worth listening to even with Kylie in it.

Anyway....Rant time. "Quantum of Solace" was released on DVD last week. to my shock and horror we have only been given a single disc edition on DVD where the rest of the world is getting a two disc. why!?. well the special features are on the blu ray version so maybe they are trying to hint at something. Fox (who is handling the distribution after sony screwed up with casino royale) has a track record of releasing single discs here and special editions in the rest of the world. two other examples of this were "AvP", "Predator 2" and even "AvP:R". pfft like i needed another reason to be pissed at 20th century fox.

so thats it really, i dont have a copy of Quantum yet and things are pretty cool right now. picked up a poster for myself and Matt at uni. Got the teaser poster for "Goldeneye" for $8.
Anyhow

be seeing you

So another week rolls by, I am alittle taken back that it's been a week since Watchmen. weeks really fly by these days.

Uni has gotten much better over the last few days with all the tutorials. ive made new friends in 3 of them which for me is pretty darn good. So for once in my life im getting along with people which is always good.

Monday we watched "Kiss Kiss,Bang Bang" in cinema studies which was awesomely funny. i absolutly loved it. borrowing from pop culture with references every few minutes its a film nerd's dream. Downey Jr. is on form as always and Kilmer is actually likable in this. see it. NOW! GET TO THE CHOPPA!

So that was heaps of fun, the media lecture was ugh. I really really really don't like this lecturer.

picked up my PSP yesterday for the first time in forever and I still and always will uphold that Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror is the bestest ever game on PSP. Im sure Matt will disagree lol.

Today was pretty good, had to go and rescue Alicia as her car had broken down and she had no one else to come to help. which i had no problem doing.

Went to uni and did my things, as i do.

Came home and finally after about three weeks sat down and watched 'Logan's Run'. Fairly impressive, i liked it alot. For some Classic '70s sci-fi i'd reccomend it anyday. ah with the crazy robot that freezes things and the clearly model city. Great Stuff. see that and 'Rollerball' together and you've got a winning combination. that said i did like 'Rollerball' much more, mainly because of it's action sequences.

So thats it this week other than the outrage i had at my anthropology lecture seeing something using vista on a macbook. WHY!?? damn people and their idiocy. just by a damn normal laptop if your going to run windows...ugh!.

Oh and one more thing, I've started up a blogspot thing which will essentially be this blog posted in two places. so if your reading this on blogger than be aware this is also on myspace. im increasing audience!...probably not but eh.

that is all for now.
