Well this long Dusshera weekend was spent chilling, cooking Chinese food (only on Dusshera) and watching the new Amazing Race that has started on AXN. I also read the newspaper, heard the crackers and bought a new fridge and a new washing machine for our new apartment, which we will be shifting into shortly.
It's difficult setting up a new house; and quite an expensive affair. Thankfully our families have chipped in so it's not as hideously expensive as I thought it would be. And I will get a chance to try out my cooking skills... hmmmm.....
So this weekend I watched two films - Outlander (2008) and Observe and Report (2009).
Let me just say on the outset, that no one in their right minds should watch Observe and Report. It is a sad sad movie which is just so bad that one can't imagine how they got the money to make this film and the person who thought up the concept was just so sad that he came up with this film. Ugghhh...
Outlander on the other hand is an interesting film. Set in the times of the Vikings, it shows what happens when a stranger (Outlander) comes crashing from outer space (maybe from the future?) and brings with him an alien dragon. Yes, this plot is totally unrealistic, so far removed from reality that you will actually sit on a Saturday evening and watch what can only be termed as brainless entertainment and feel better having watched it. But it is still better than Observe and Report (2009).
I've started to read The Bronte Project by Jennifer Vandever. It's going okay right now - the main character appears very sad and forlorn, with no direction or sense of purpose. Another thing about these Bridget Jones types of books is that they all seem to say that "If you aren't married - there's something wrong with you" or something to that effect. I wonder what the silent Victorian (the main character in the book studies old letters by Charlotte Bronte) will do later on in the book.
