Ito ay umusbong mula isa pa sanang mas magandang entry, na nabura kasi hindi tumatanggap ng cookies ang magaling kong browser sa office. Palagay ko ay mas mabuti na nga rin na isulat ko ito ngayon, kasi mas sulit ang bawat pantig at mas dama ang diin ng pindot sa bawat tokwa-letra ng keyboard.
Patuloy na pumipila't humihilera ang mga iba't ibang pangyayari sa panahong ito. Nalaman ko na kung hanggang saan lang ako dapat, at kung saan ako dapat lumugar sa pagbabakasakali na umayon o hindi umayon sa akin ang panahon.
Nakarinig ako ng mga bagong boses at kanta: mga boses na nangungulit, "Nasaan na?" pati na rin ang menthol joyride ng Franz Ferdinand, The Dandy Warhols at iba pa.
Ika nga, "I'm so drunk I don't mind if you kill me."

Nariyan na ang amoy Pasko, lalo na tuwing mga alas-dos ng umaga, kung saan talagang pinipilit ko na maging gising para lamang dumugo ang ilong ko sa lamig.
Sa panahon na rin na ito naririnig ko ang mga baboy na ginigilitan, hinihila, sinisipa, at iniialay kay Aleng Fe para ipaninda niya mamayang hapon. May katayan ng baboy kasi sa labas ng subdivision, at naririnig ko na ito kahit nung bubwit pa ako.
Singtining ng amoy ang tunog.

Maraming salamat sa mga sumusunod na DVD na ipinahiram sakin ng aking kaopisina, at lubos akong napahinga nitong nakalipas na weekend. Matagal-tagal na rin kasi akong hindi nakakaramdam ng kahit anong ikasisiya ko.

Starting off with British guy Matt in Antartica, surveying the land, the movie is a flashback to his fling with an American girl named Lisa (Margo Stilley, who looks like a taller, learner Maggie Gyllenhaal). The two go to a great concert, have sex, go to a great concert, have sex, rinse, repeat 7 more times. Amazingly, even though you're only seeing the sex, you're seeing the reality of a relationship and able to see the emotions and feelings of both people from beginning to end. It's an interesting note to all those movies out there who try to show everything BUT the sex...maybe you're missing the real point.
Of course what really makes the movie a must-watch is the performances. One of a kind concert footage from some of my personal favorite bands, Franz Ferdinand, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, The Von Bondies, Super Furry Animals and Primal Scream. If you're a fan of these bands, its like getting a bonus DVD of footage.
Be warned, the sex is real. No faking, no CGI. But it doesn't really feel like porn, least not to me. Winterbottom shots it the film on digital video, probably the best way to capture all the concerts. The film's a solid 65 minutes, just the perfect amount of time to course the relationship of two people in lust.
Mahirap husgahan ang pakikipagtalik sa pinilakang tabing, lalo na kung totoo itong nangyayari. Hindi siya pornograpiya, na masasabi kong malamig at mabilis. Ang pelikula ay nagiging paanyaya sa kanilang mga alaala, sa rock concerts, sa paghuhubad na ginagawa ng paninigarilyo, mga pagsulong sa kama, sa pagitan nila.
Nararamdaman mong lumulundag ang kuryente mula kanilang mga daliri, mga paa, mga mata't palad, at tamang-tama lamang ang bawat kanta.
Danny Deckchair
Danny Deckchair is the story of a guy named Danny. He's your average joe who works as a construction worker, but this past week, he's had the tendency to fall into wet cement while on the job. Why? Because he's thinking about his upcoming vacation- traveling via plane to go camping. Yes, it doesn't make much sense upon first thought, as when you travel you stay in hotels, but Danny's the type of lax guy that doesn't mind. When off of work, he bumps into an old friend from highschool at a party favor store. The guy now owns his own used car lot, but is complaining about how the balloons he ordered have his name spelled incorrectly. With that, he gives Danny one of said balloons. Danny takes it home, finds out that his girlfriend can't come with him during his vacation, and pratically spends his vacation at home.
But he soon looks for things to do, most of which are zany things like explore the attic and such. But after finding out that he's been lied to by a friend and his own girlfriend, who was seen with a local news caster, Danny loses general interest with everything. At a BBQ that he didn't really want to throw, he starts tying balloons to a deckchair after filling them up with helium that he bought. One after the other, he sees if he'll actually be lifted into the air. And you know what? He does. Danny floats off, grasping to the deckchair's arm rests, as that's all he can hold onto. His girlfriend and friends panic, naturally, and try to follow him, but he's soon lost.
Thanks to a firework, Danny's little flight is halted, and he lands in a completely different town, miles away from his. But this is a town he can really fit into. Everyone's nice for the most part, people listen to his ideas, he helps a woman start to enjoy her life, and more. But her ex-boyfriend is jealous of Danny, and tries to screw things up for them. At the same time, Danny's former life is catching up to him, and he'll soon have to deal with it in front of his new townsfolk.
Matapos panoorin ito, gustong gusto kung lumabas ng bahay, kunin ang maamag nang monobloc sa veranda, talian ng lobo, at magbagong-buhay.
Baka nga gawin ko na iyon. Malapit-lapit na.
Maraming salamat kay Sally para sa mga ito.

Deity of the moment: Frand Ferdinand!
Yes, I love the way his hair flips just like that.
I think I'm falling in love with the song Jacqueline.
