There is a reason why " The sun was like a fiery orb in the sky", "The heat was oppressive" and every other version of "It's frigging hot and I'm stuck here doing something pointless.Switch on the air con." appears in primary essays.
It happens when you tell students to write about what they know.
Bookwise
Kino had 20% off today for summer reading! Bad promotional headline but who cares!
It has enable me to buy books, although not in great comfort. It seems like the children forgot that the Orchard library has closed down and swarmed to the bookstores.
The youth section is a fun place to be. Turn every corner and it's the Hit Songs of Hannah Montana and High School Musical brought to you by kids who have cable.
Also, I am of the opinion that boys who are knee high should not be exposed to pictures of Zac Efron. It's creepy.
Moviewise
Finally managed to watch Across the Universe.
It was better than I could have imagined and I think the remastered/resung songs are even better than the original.
Some song sequences were awesome ("I've just seen a face","Strawberry fields forever") but some were just plain weird("Being for the benefit of Mr Kite").
Symbolism, motifs were heavily played here and some were really clever. It's just an AHA moment if you get it and you'll appreciate how subtly it has been woven into the entire scene or movie.
I loved the cast although I think Evan Rachel Woods acting was rather bland here. Maybe it was the character, sheltered suburban girl to radical peace protester. Meh.
All you need it love. Or something to that effect.
Schoolwise
Whoop dee do.
I've decided that the sole purpose of post its is to stick it on an unsuspecting victim and giggle at them for the rest of the day.
They also make for pretty art. (two sole purposes)
Otherwise
There is tuna, there is vegetarian, caviar so tell me.
Why isn't there mouse flavoured cat food on the market?
