hm apparently the amityville horror was good. but somehow, despite enjoying horror movies a lot, i never put them very high on my priority list. and anyway, i avoid melissa george like the plague. she reminds me of all that is bad about alias. which is not a lot, therefore being reminded of it is depressing =] particularly now, when i'm utterly broken about the "my name isn't michael vaughn" etc.

just realised that if daph reads this, she is going to be mad about that little spoiler. oops!

but there are lots of things i want to watch.
updated list:

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - released today
Downfall (about Hitler, apparently v good) - releases today
Mr & Mrs Smith - June 9
A Lot Like Love - June 23
Sin City - July 21
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory - Aug 4
Bewitched - Aug 11
Cinderella Man - Aug 11

Watched Monster-in-Law last week, and it was really bad. I thought so, atleast. Most other people who watched it seemed to quite like it. I think I'm just inherently biased against Michael Vartan and Jennifer Lopez playing kissyface. It was terribly cheesy, and blasphemous and everything. The wrong Jennifer, sigh.

Oh you know last night I dreamt that Michael Vartan was a teacher at RJ -- he taught history or something. OMG i just realised WHY i had that dream, because yesterday while I was running it occurred to me that Rolly and Vaughn were similar, or something like that. Like, similarly cute. I can't really remember what the thought was, exactly, except that it compared Vaughn to Rolly. And it was just a tiny little random thought, but it became a dream. Haha like Eustacia - "How a little Sound produced a great Dream". And in the dream, Vartan was taking us on a school trip. Which is like Rolly in Bangkok right now. Except that the trip was in the US, I think. Because at one point Vaughn had to leave because he was going to meet some friends in LA. Can't remember who the friends were, though in the dream he told us who they were. The inside of the bus looked like the bus in Before Sunrise though. Which is entirely unrelated to Rolly or to Vartan.

And then during the dream I was thinking of all the questions I'd want to ask him like - is Jennifer really pregnant with Ben Affleck's kid. And then Kelly or someone with a lot of tact like her told me that that is not an appropriate question to ask. It was all very exciting and squee-inducing, but somehow Vartan being a teacher didn't occur to me as weird. Maybe because Vaughn was a french teacher during that ep in season 3, and I think in my dream he was wearing the same navy blue shirt as in that ep.

And then the dream degenerated into weirdness. I remember feeling sad on someone's behalf, who was "uniformly manipulated" or something, and then reading some stuff that made me feel very sad. And crying. That took place in one of the classrooms near LT3. Hm. And then there was some huge gathering, addressed by Winston Hodge. And Chit was there. She was feeling sad about something too. HAHA how utterly strange.

I have the oddest dreams.

Wiggy's getting me dirtcheap DVDs from Shanghai! (Hopefully). I gave him a list of 26 DVDs I want, in order of priority - so I'm pretty sure he'll find atleast a couple of them :) Yay!

Ok time to take a shower. This evening another set of annoying relatives are visiting. Doubly annoying because if not for their visit my brother and I were planning to go watch The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. BTW all the posters that say H2G2 are WRONG. It's HG2G!!! Oh and my mom's very annoyed because the relatives haven't even confirmed if they are coming or not, but on the off-chance that they are, she has to make food and all that. They wanted to come tomorrow instead, and she's got stuff on tomorrow but apparently they flippantly told her to cancel that. How annoying. No wonder she doesn't like them. My mom likes very few of my dad's relatives. My mom's relatives are much more fun.

EDIT:
my tutor bought me Closer, Finding Neverland and Kinsey DVDs from Malaysia! So i severely edited my Shanghai list for Wiggy. It's down to 24 now. Final FINAL list, heh. Am chuffed.

And the relatives included very cute cousins! Haha kids are always so adorable. But, well the adults -- annoying as usual. They ask the most uninteresting questions. All about school and the make the same jokes like "make sure you rest well during the holidays, and study a little in between, hahahaha". It's seriously rather old, and you know as well as anybody that they're only saying that because your exam results don't matter to them at all. Catch anyone saying the same thing to their own kid -- unless, of course, the kid is some freak who's going to die of underexposure to sunlight if he/she doesn't stop studying for a bit.
