mochi

Note to self: Don't stay up until 2 am making mochi.

denial

... I don't want to go back to school. I don't want to go back to school. I don't want to go back to school. I don't want to go back to school. I don't want to go back to school. I don't want to go back to school. I don't want to go back to school.

daruma-otoshi

... this is what I have,
come up with in half an hour,
Mogami-gawa.

elbows

... Consecutive days of sitting at the computer has made my elbows all creaky. Maybe they need oiling. Maybe I need a better joke.

indoors

What's the point of having an indoor "outdoor garden"? The absurdities I encounter when I venture out into the outdoors. Or should I say indoors?

idleness

... Lately I've forgotten to blog. Since I was home doing nothing (and will continue to), surely I should be trying to update my lonely blog.

gaming

... I have had minimal lag whilst gaming on this computer. Despite the huge gaming advantage, I still suck. I guess some things aren't meant to be?

choke

... I have choked on my drink too many times today. I'm still coughing.

the three stooges

It's been a while since I've delivered a lengthy post. Nonetheless, here's my first movie review! Since I'm bored to death, I decided to write about a movie I watched today: The Three Stooges. I'm not much of a movie reviewer but I'll try my best to pretend I'm on "At the Movies"

To be perfectly honest, I'm not a fan of pure slapstick humour - I love my dry humour. This definitely wasn't my pick of the movies but I didn't mind that much. I faintly remember watching The Three Stooges in caricature form in my childhood days but I'm sure everybody else remembers it as Vaudeville slapstick. I think that's why I was hesitant to watch this.

I was a bit preoccupied texting other people at the first few minutes of the film (I know - how despicable of me, but I have my reasons)  but I didn't feel too comfortable when watching the beginning. The plotline seemed a bit typical (everybody loves to chuck in an orphanage in storyboarding don't they) but I thought the film was cast well.

The choreography (should I even call it choreography?) was pretty well done and the stunts were a bit too obvious for me but hey, it's slapstick. There were certain moments that made me wince: hearing the laughter of the children made me remember how I would laugh at anything as a child.

There's not much else to say (probably because I can't write a proper movie review) but overall, I think this movie was quite good. It wasn't my cup of tea but it left me satisfied, even though there were some moments that just didn't stick. It was enjoyable and just 90 minutes of laughing out loud.

7.5 out of 10, I'm sure other viewers will give a higher score: it unfortunately wasn't my taste (but it was still pretty enjoyable)

tardiness

... it is rude to not notify someone when one is coming late to a movie. I have waited for over 20 minutes wetting my pants on why nobody was there.

alternative

... I have been and always will be the second option. That isn't something to cry about: the first one is to blame if things screw up!

holiday

... I have slept through the entire past holidays and now I will do it again.
