Déjà vu?

That’s creepy, so I moved into my new house and months before I had a dream of exactly standing at the same spot looking out the window and the same car was out there.

I felt it. Perfect. It was perfect.

Black Swan feels like an Aronofsky film, through and through. His fingerprints are all over it. His camera style, the way he brings the audience in and makes them feel a part of the character, and experience in a way what the character is experiencing. This is not a movie for everyone. It’s horror, but a psychological kind of horror that puts us directly into the fractured, overwhelmed, frustrated mind of a person. 

127 Hours

It was a joyous, uplifting, spiritual movie experience. It had all the elements of what filmmaking is about. It was a thriller, a drama, a romance, a horror, even comedy at some points all rolled into one. A poignant, timeless message of what is it to be alive, of how blessed we all truly are, and of how reliant we are upon each other.

Coffee logic.

You know what tastes good? Peanut butter mixed with coffee. Delicious.

You know they’re your true friends when you laugh so hard in front of them and yet they can see you breaking inside.

Paranormal Activity 2

Really? Is this everything they could come up with? I didn’t feel scared at all, I didn’t sit on the edge of my seat in terror, it was like watching old family videotapes, with just a little paranormal activity to be found.

Doctor Who: Season 3

An outstanding season. A few multi-part episodes mixed in with some one-shots. Tennant does a great job as The Doctor and Agyeman makes an excellent travelling companion. The Daleks always seem to have a new twist and the appearance of an old enemy keep the Doctor in turmoil and on the run. There are also a few revelations. I can not wait to start watching the next season.

You can miss someone who died, you can miss someone who moved away, but the worst is when you miss someone you see everyday.

I tend to break a lot of mice, so sometimes I’ve had to do without one for a while. It’s not fun.

It bothers me when I see people using the touchpad on their laptop while at a desk for long periods of time. I’ve never seen an official study done on it, but I’d guess that you are 25 to 30% faster using a regular mouse instead of a touchpad.

Friendship?

I don’t understand why I am always there for her, and yet when I am in need of support she brushes me off.

I’m not so weird to me.

Recently, I’ve been catching up on my reading. Haruki Murakami is one of my all time favourite authors. His novels are always interesting, and the writing style is generally gorgeous, although it does vary a little between different books. I’m not sure if this is Haruki Murakami changing his style in the original Japanese, or simply results from different translators.

Something I’ve been noticing lately is that in all of the Murakami novels I can recall, the protagonist always has a lot of time. This is so different to most other novels which try to rush from one exciting event to the next. Perhaps this is part of the reason why I really like Murakami’s writing so much.

Only in Canada, eh.

The Social Network. It’s more than just the origins of Facebook. It’s about the people behind it. It’s got a lot more substance and endearing plot elements than I ever expected. It’s got a great cinematography due to the fact of the ever-changing lighting. Acting is phenomenal and I definitely didn’t expect it from Eisenberg nor Timberlake.

When it comes to his previous roles, I enjoyed him to an extent, but this role I was ecstatic for each and every time he opened his mouth. I wasn’t interested in the movie, but I saw it for the sake of seeing it. I’m very glad I did because if you need to see two movies from 2010, you need to see Inception and The Social Network. This is one of those don’t miss it movies.
