日常生活

I haven't had a lot of money to spend on t-shirts lately, with my car conveniently breaking down not long after Christmas. Still, I've gotten a few:

Count the Shadows - Not until after I got it did I realize that it was a Doctor Who-shirt. I've never seen the show, nor do I know anything about it, but the shirt is cool. :-)

The Last Leaf - I love autumn. In spite of being a depressing season, the scarecrow is still smiling. And his arms are open wide in a big "come get a hug!"-kinda way.

Sky Invader - I promised myself not to look up, but I did, and now I have vertigo..

Mega Mario Man - This one's actually a birthday gift, and it's a combo of two of my favourite retro games. Wonder what it would look like with the characters reversed.

I just saw the last episode of The Pacific and as a whole, I found the show really good. The acting, production quality, intensity - everything was on high pretty much the whole way through.

The opening credits were really neat with the charcoal, graphite and ink. It really set the tone for the rest of the episode; rought and touching.

I've never been a huge fan of war stories, nor about WWII, but The Pacific sucked me in like few before.

Because of this I'm thinking about buying the books the series is based on; Helmet for My Pillow and With the Old Breed.

I can't remember when I first saw Donnie Darko. It can't have been long after it was released on DVD though, because it has been some time.

For some reason I hated it. I can't for the life of me remember why, but that's been my standpoint through the years - "I hate it". And people have looked at me funny...

The other day I was sifting through my brother's DVD collection and I found Donnie Darko standing there, mocking me - teasing me. So I borrowed it.

I watched it and to my astonishment I liked it, a lot. I don't know what made me hate it in the first place, but I've been in the dark (no pun) for so many years.

I'm sorry, Donnie. It was wrong of me to ever doubt you. I don't know why it turned out like this, but let's try again. Let's be friends.
