The cheapest Moleskine with nibbled grapes
Many cool faces of tumblr post daily gpoys like here's-my-Moleskine-next-to-my-daily-food-what-obviously-contains-fruits-ONLY, so here I am to say:
1: having a Moleskine is not a big deal, everybody owns at least one
2: fruits only...? yes, sure.
Actually, I use another Moleskine as my calendar, this one is my Food Diary for counting the calories. Well, I've bought it for about half dollar in January, because it was already expired, you know, all the unsold 2010 copies were sold out for ludicrously cheap price. That's my true Moleskine-story, how exciting...

FILMS OF THE WEEK: White Oleander
White Oleander (dir. Peter Kosminsky, 2002)
With Michelle Pfeiffer, Renée Zellweger, Robin Wright, Alison Lohman.Have you seen this? No? You should. Kinda sad story but not a crying one, it's about a golden blonde, plentiful artist couple: a self-sacrificing mom with strong principles about the way of living and her suffering daughter who's hungry for love and attention.
When Ingrid, the mother gets into jail, Astrid is placed to several foster mothers, first to Starr Thomas played by Robin Wright. She's my favourite character, typical american lower class woman, a former stripper and born-again Christian who is a recovering addict. Just perfect. I am amazed at hers and her daughters' second hand outfits, cheap but original and stylish looks. Once I want to be like them, aha.
Renée Zellweger plays Claire, a former actress, "a sweet and affectionate woman who initially provides stability for Astrid." Claire gives Astrid what a mother should, happiness and all, but of course, the situation won't stay this glad. Later Astrid turns to black, more foster mothers and suffers and complications till the right solution comes. Can't tell more, too tired kids, words don't come easy. I need to struggle for every thoughts now, so I better go to bed and watch something, Midnight Cowboy I guess. Have a nice night and don't forget to watch this beautiful film! Hugs.

FILMS OF THE WEEK: Memoirs Of An Invisible Man, Rushmore
Because of previously explained reasons I had no time to blog as I had no time to watch films. This two pieces were my selections for Monday and Tuesday, other days I just fell into my bed and watched a South Park episode while drinking my daily cocoa. By the way I'm a South Park addict, so I've seen all the episodes to the last one, You're Getting Old and I hope it won't be the end of SP as bad rumors say.
Obviously Vacation's Chevy Chase was my childhood's comedy guy (THE ONE), and obviously Vacation was one of my favourite films and I've watched at least a thousand times, last some months ago. In the case of the Invisible Man I could not decide, is it for fun or serious? I know some about the background, because I've read the scriptwriter, William Goldman's book, Which Lie Did I Tell?: More Adventures in the Screen Trade who tells that Carpenter leand to a more comical way, but Chase wanted to accentuated the solitude of invisibility. Anyway, Daryl Hannah is beautiful and owns the greatest legs, and Chevy Chase IS Chavy Chase, so.



First thought? Annoying. I can't help it, but the main character Max Fischer (Jason Schwartzman) is so f*cking annoying to me. I've watched it in three parts at three nights, because I slept while watching, twice. Maybe that's the main problem, I was too tired and that's why I didn't enjoy this film. There were great moments, cool music and beautiful shots, really. Maybe I'm too harsh, I should watch again. What do you think?

I miss my blog
Hello kids, here I am to tell you the truth behind the lack of my blogging lately. My mother was in hospital last week and even if she's let yesterday out we have to take care of her, so since she's been ill, all the housework have fallen on my neck. Dusting, washing, mopping, shoeing, cooking, sprinkling, gardening, everything. Ah. In the beginning, my face was like this, but by now it turned like this. Did you notice that there's a National No Homework Day? I want that NOW, I promise, I'll celebrate!
So that's why I can't blog recently and I really miss it. Maybe on Monday I'll have enough time after I did all the nasty houseworks and if I don't fall into my bad at 10 p.m....
