how's THIS for psyching up!it feels like christmas is winding down even before hit its sweet spot, but i've had a great season, in fact i haven't much to complain about this year after all, besides not having much to show for it save for what feels like a healthier state of mind. like i've so relentlessly unleashed recently, so much's happened in this year that i haven't even grown physically accustomed to - dating cards is still more effort than reflex, but i'm ready for '06 so BRING IT ONNNNNNNNNNN.

awoke to shoo's phonecall, heh. nice but not (entirely) cos of shoo haha.Potter: enjoyable. for some reason i didn't like the first minutes much. just generally sian. this is a feeling we will revisit because it's quite exactly how i felt until.. the middle of the first song of Rent. beats me why? anyways i am an absolute loser who likes every single boy in Potter, save Neville. i think the twins are ugly as heck now, i miss sean biggerstaff like mad, ron is even uglier if that's possible?, harry did a pretty good job carrying most of the show, hermione doesn't seem quite in her skin this time but which teen is? and i really squealed at all the boys so i shall watch it again. notably am not pissed off that some lines in the story were omitted because i only recall Goblet being rather confusing, but not in a bad way because that made multiple reads a worthy exercise, except i was lazy and dutifully proceeded to forget everything.
PHEW. last night was marvellous. i didn't manage to figure out bits of the plot (that'd have involved lots of careful listening!) but i think that was the most competent cast i've ever seen (to karen mok's credit she al..most fit in!) and i loved the rock in the opera! ah. nothing big band at all and.. no, not raw. just a little contemporary and, hmm, rather like going to a live concert secretly in a loose theatre setting. a pleasantest surprise! it's not one of those from which you walk away trying to crack your face beaming or on a talkative high from the buzz, nope, it was more enriching than that. (not forgetting Jeremy Kushnier. talk about versatility!)
on a separate note, my mother she is home. mmmmmmmmmmm.
haha not really getting any better on the healthfront, but well, am actually not trying very hard. sleeping the day away is an affordable luxury for now so indulge i shall. i haven't many wants (okay, actually i do, too many but it'll make my head heavy to think about them since they are quite out of reach, but let's just say at the moment i really, really quite want to be one of those uber dressed-up, and i mean SUPER dressed-up people. am fast-growing out of the aiyah, lazy la phase. at least for a day or two a week haha, but okay, that entails a lot of shopping so no go i suppose.) haha that was some long paren-thesis (hahaaaaaaaaaa) and uhm,
as i was saying i haven't many wants really, most fit on me bed : p have given up on jasper fforde it's so potentially humorous but i suppose i'm not giving it a very fair chance. for most part the funnies are remeniscent of douglas adams (please correct me if i'm wrong, i haven't gotten very far past the blurb into the first chapter so give me reason to pick it up again! again!) which hmm. i didn't.. really.. like. i sort of liked, but not enough. rather like.. muffins and cupcakes? i like them but not especially?
anyways so, that's that for dr (mr?) thursday next. am onto graham greene's travels and it's all very curious. : ) aiyah. sorry if this sounds like a lot of title-dropping. sigh. but am bedridden and can nary support more than a thin spine, unless you want to know i've been surfing friendster extensively : ]

okay amidst more coughs and sputters i must announce i have no love for adrian mole (now aged 30 1/4) ughhhhhhhhhhh ughhhhhhhhhh, but he is a celebrity chef woh.. UGHHH. cough sputter cough BEATLES!evelyn at 5:40 AM
post exam literatureeeeeeee higheeeeee wheeeeeeeee (is it any surprise which my letter of the alphabEt is, or why? : )) lots of pretend singing (haha because am too phlegmy and all, head's so heavy from slightest of exertions, and am keeping awake because the aftermath of perusing The Beatles is fullfledged Beatlemania (duh) so am dutifully going through all of collection amassed so long ago. Ah I think I need the original albums (actually just the sleeves... and am so cheapskate maybe just photocopies or something will do) and maybe more coffeetables plus transcripts of their interviews heh. Am most definitely a fan of the GROUP not of the individual members. Aaaahh cough cough sputter SEP page PLEASE get yourself back up (alternatively, 10 o clock come soon so I can apply and go sleep, or rather, go watch America's Sweethearts on Channel 5 with my sista in da hause yeah yeahyeah.evelyn at 3:38 AM

Staying home a bit before the weekend madness begins, ah. Was hunting for a new blog skin but the white christmas with festive reds and greens scrolling all the way down evades me!Well, I kind of miss my mom. I hope she's doing okay. It's so different when I'm the one left behind, because this morning, slinking back into the room sinking into my pillows I felt so crummy for not having made it early enough to wave her goodbye. Then groaned when I spotted her phone beside mine. Fat chance of a call, now. Isn't this all very silly? I didn't miss her when I was away, but.. I was so eager to leave then, relief pretty much floated above all else. These insomniac nights I inch just a little closer as I lull myself to sleep with her steady breathing, more than once catching myself wondering if exchange's such a good idea - but this must be the tired mind's meanderings, for awake do I to quite a different direction : ) Other times fear takes residence of the day that I'll awake and she not be there. (Like today.) Last night my little comfort was a petulant arm flung over to her side of the mattress. No such luck tonight hmm.
Sigh. Okay on to happier affairs. Am growing to be a fan of Glenn Close. Respect. I think it was one line in The Lady's Paying that really did it. Wheeeeee. Wasn't too enamoured of 102 Dalmations but I don't suppose she thinks it her representative work either : p But Alan Campbell is still the man, oohh, but what an ordinary name. Heh. It's great to just sit here and soak the entire Sunset Boulevard soundtrack over and over running scenes in my head. No homework! Glee.
Deciding whether to watch it (if ever they revive it) will probably be quite the decision to make. I mean, I don't believe for a moment I'll be able to resist, but theoretically, romantically, I think I'll never want to see it on stage and much less on film (again am practically speaking, lying) lest it falls terribly short of my impossibly high expectations. Ah.. Glenn Close. ALAN Campbell yeah yeahyeah.
Update update: !! Sunset Boulevard [2006] is in preproduction. AAAAAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Coincidence rocks! Sometimes!)
