update

it's time to put something new here. i've been lazy. i've been complaining to real life people instead of complaining to the computer and to the maybe three readers of this blog.

(oh btw i know very slow, but ive just discovered bloglines and firefox. now my life is complete. what will i do now?)

anyway, it's been relatively interesting, but i shant bore you all (yes the three of you) with all the fascinating details of my life. instead, i shall reveal that i have been going to dutifully watch a few films at the Singapore International Film Festival, though I am a very disgruntled viewer, forking out NINE DOLLARS AND FORTY CENTS for each film.... and watching each film in the damn crap ok cinemas of Bitch Road.
the only saving grace of that place is that (1) at least it's not in boon lay or some place (2) got liang seah nearby!

anyway, will be heading back tomorrow... to see Cafe Lumiere. apparently the director will be present, like during the screening of Niceland on Sunday.

Oh other shows - today was Wilby Wonderful (a wonderfully nice little movie that is set on an island population 4200. the movie started off with a beautifully dizzy cartoon called L'homme sans ombre. great use of sound effects too) last weekend was Tarnation - very disturbing autobio of a 30-sthg gay man living in NYC who had such a terrible childhood.... something that shouldn't be missed. altho, oops, u have missed already havent you, cos i doubt it'll ever been commercially released.

anyway, today i managed to avoid buying more cds from the cd sale store. over my past two visits i managed to buy:
Elbow's Cast Of Thousands (i already have a copy but need to buy original!)
Jeff Buckley's Grace
Manic Street's Lipstick Traces
Grandaddy's Sumday
Travis' 12 Memories
oh and the Essential Clash

i had to resist many others including some Springsteen...sigh....
what to do... only 9.90 i dunno how anyone could walk out of that store not buying anything....
