Friday loco

It’s Friday and I couldn’t be more glad that it is. It’s been a busy week, and everything’s just been happening all at once at the office. But at the same time, though, the fact that it’s been busy made this weekend all the more worthwhile; feels like I’ve earned the next 3 days off. It’s so exciting that it’s gonna be the long weekend!

Anyhow, I was watching one of those “20 to 1″ specials on TV last night, and the topic was about celebrity going AWOL, and naturally RDJ was included. And that’s made me all the more think that it’s so good that nobody talks about his bad past anymore. Sure, they’ll always drop the ‘bad-boy’ term here and there when talking about him - after all, can’t turn back time and what have you – but it just occurred to me last night, while I was watching this TV special and the screen was splattered with his mug shots and caps from his prison days, that he’s successfully made new impressions on people and that he is now the ’successful actor’ rather than the ‘guy who did time in prison’. Like, I think that’s pretty amazing.

This is so bad, but this lamb and spinach curry that I’m currently having is so good!

What's new pussycat?

It's been the worst week ever. I have been - I kid you not - staying at home for the past 3 days. The only time I went out was to go jogging, and that was only around the neighbourhood.

I've been obsessed watching "Brothers & Sisters". Budi was right when he said I'd like it; I really love it now. It's a whole new way to compare your family to what's presented in the media and feel even worse about your own because you know something just ain't right about your favourite uncle or your biological grandmother. Whatever; the main point is, I still get self-destructive sometimes when I watch TV series like that because it just makes me think even more that my life is anything but normal. Don't mean to go emo on you now.

Other than that, I've been obsessed with finding an office job. It's pretty daunting the fact that all my mates are starting their first full-time job. And an office job seems to be the way to go because it makes you feel better about yourself. I've been doing the freelancing thing for the past year now (and it took me one whole year to realise that it's been a freelance job, ding ding, I should get a prize to have guessed that right) and I think a little bit of routine in my life is what's best for me right now. 9 to 5 job sounds to me like a candy store sounds to a six-year-old fat boy.

I think I'm getting sarcastic again.

More childhood dissatisfaction

Bridget Jones moment #383092: I've just been sitting here watching trailers and clips from Batman Forever and the 1960s TV series of Batman.

I guess I could safely say that I'm royally obsessed with the character Robin. I think all the screen adaptations that have been produced so far did well with the character interpretation of the Boy Wonder - Burt Ward and then Chris O'Donnell, both did good with their own way of portraying the boyish charm of Dick Grayson. And it just made me realise that he was, in fact, my first superhero crush.

I really hope Hollywood is really gonna do that new TV series about the pre-Robin Dick Grayson. It'll be awesome. Yep, no, I just found out it's not gonna happen in the near future now. Damn.

Batman & Robin

It's so random but I'm watching the original series of Batman from 1966.

Lalala~♪

New favourite

Okay, after so many reality TV shows out there based on fashion, this one has finally hit my favouritism in a big way.

Stylista is the perfect meeting between my two favourite things: fashion and magazine publishing. It's got all the ingredients from both - drama, editorials, fashionable moments and of course, the stupid wannabes.

This show makes me want to learn more and sit at Borders for hours to read "Magazine Publishing for Dummies". And I'm feeling even more inspired to be that successful bitch of an editor now.

Robin & Batman

"Just as Smallville focuses on Clark Kent in the years before he became Superman, The Graysons will follow the world of Dick 'DJ' Grayson before he takes on the iconic Robin identity and aligns himself with Batman. In the one-hour Graysons, which will be set in modern times, young DJ will face challenges involving first loves, young rivals and his family as he grows up."

Can't wait till this show gets started. I've had a crush on Robin since before I was a foetus. Quite literally, because the Robin I first liked was played by Burt Ward in the 1960s.

Yep...

I actually really dig Kurosagi's ending. Maybe not really the way he got released from the prison because that was just too 'Ha? He could get out that easily?' but I love that he finally showed some emotions.

I want to see the movie now.

Japanese watch list

The Japanese film Romeo & Juliet is the crappiest movie I've ever seen!

Tackey somehow reminds me of Michael Jackson. And don't even get me started on the girl; she plays Rei in Pro-Dai but I refuse to find out what her real name is because she really puts me off with her voice.

Anyhoo. Still watching Kurosagi now. Yamapi~~~♥
