Life's little surprises

Flight Lesson by Patricia Gaffney - hiding among three other titles in a Reader's Digest Select Editions, it almost convinced me to skip it totally. A story revolving around the love and (messy) life of a 36-year-old woman? Yes, it got me hooked by the time i got round to the fourth page. If nothing else, Gaffney had captured those small subtle atmosphere of the situation so well that i often, in mid-reading, closed the book and my eyes to breathe in unison with the characters.

Picturesque... Sentosa! You wouldn't guess it but it's true. More of them in the pictorial right here.  ¶

Just watched The Incredibles and it's so incredibly funny. Easily 5-Star. It's such a shame that this was the last film Pixar does for Disney. Hope those guys go on to do something better elsewhere. Dreamworks maybe? ;)

i don't care what others think/say about me ok? As long as i feel alright/right about myself, ok? Ok i'm persuaded.  ¶

Once again they had come, like they always did lately - the sinister things that lurch in the darkness that they belong, prowling through my shallow sleep. Slowly, testily they would approach at first, making themselves seemingly nothing more the prelude to a dream. Under the mask of an inviting slumber these fiends lured me in, until i was deep among them. Then they revealed what they really are - monsters from the worst nightmares, or were they simply the dark side of my own soul? The tentacles they extended, bounding my every inch of skin to the traps they laid. Almost casually, they allowed me to waft out of the brittle case of this limbo world, like a cat-and-mouse game, but never long enough to make a clean escape. Always i went back, almost as if on my own accord, by my own desiring, into their menacing embrace once more. Until i finally woke up, it'd seem as though nothing had happened, nothing remembered from the ordeal, except that dully aching head of mine, testiying that i had nothing near a restful sleep at all.

Why is this happening to me? i'm but twenty. Surely there should be nothing weighing down on my conscience? Why are they stalking me? Why am i stalking me?  ¶

Just a few movies on my to-watch list:

  

And, in the name of all things holy, this too!



Anyway, that's a little too much to fork out of my own shallow pockets, so anyone wanting to treat me to movies is welcomed. Just send in the applications*.

This is my wardrobe! Original art, guess you'd call it. Should i call it "TIMEs of Our Life" or "One TIME Too Many"?*



* Yes that was SUPPOSED to sound dumb, duh.  ¶

Count the number of letters in the tag-line just below the movie title.

If the poster's too small to read, it says:

On loose tongues



A midnight's quarrel doesn't help matters, and i'm sorry i should've held my tongue better.  ¶
