::Enough::
Yeah, I know I've been away. Have been upset beyond explanation. Somehow, it feels as if they're leftovers of teenage angst. For goodness sake, teenage angst should be rotten by now at my age.

I am just angry at everything. Even when the person who I'm talking turns away from me for a few seconds I get so damn upset. Which explains why I haven't seen anyone that much, either. Anyway, shan't elaborate.

By the way, City Of God is so fucking awesome. After almost 3 weeks of delaying myself with excuses and work(plus, I know the tickets are sold out almost every other day), I finally get my butt working to get a seat in the cinema. And the whole film was pure madness, -the violence, the brutality on the streets, the life, -its just so raw and crazy, and I almost slapped myself for laughing at some scenes which I obviously shouldn't have if it did happen for real. It has to be the best picture I've seen so far this year, followed by "Bowling For Columbine", of course.

Anyway, I vowed to myself not to watched "The Hours" on film until I finished reading the book that Irene gave me. The dvd has been lying on the cabinet for months, collecting dust and I hope nothing else. I finally finished the last page of it yesterday morning, so I wiped the dust off the cover, and spend the next few hours watching it. I was obviously blown away by it, just the way the book had. Irene was right. Some men just 'don't get it' with the show. It's amazing how the writer himself is from that gender. Of course, Nicole Kidman had never looked any worse than that, but damn, she's good. And who doesn't like Meryl Streep? And I can never get Julianne Moore's character out of my head. But I had wished though, that Claire Danes' Julia was more boyish, -she looked too pretty. Mind you, Julia was supposed to be a shaved head butch in boots. With a partner, a 40plus Mary Krull. Of course, Mary Krull's character was totally non-existent in the show. And I thought Toni Collette was perfect for that role, but she became Kitty instead.

Anyway, a fever is on the way.
