Poppets

Published by Fence under Ramblings

My poppets arrived yesterday. Today they went exploring and bumped into a spaceship[1]

They also thought about moving into Minas Tirith, but they are just too big:

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Published by Fence under Moving Pictures

dir. Michael Gondry

Starring:

* Jim Carrey - Joel Barish
* Kate Winslet - Clementine Kruczynski
* Kirsten Dunst - Mary
* Tom Wilkinson - Dr. Howard Mierzwiak
* Elijah Wood - Patrick

So you fall in love with someone, things go badly and you break up. Whats the next step? Why deleting them from your memory of course. Isn’t that just a great idea for a film?
It took me a while to go see this film, prolly because of Jim Carrey’s name in the credits. I’ve really liked some of his films; Man in the Moon and whatever that reality TV show one was called, but more often than not I don’t particularly enjoy them

But this is a wonderful film, funny and sad at the same time it illustrates a relationship falling apart, and then through the erasing of Joel’s memories shows us how the relationship began. And shows the audience that these two people clearly love each other. Managing to combine the wackiness of the idea with the tenderness of a love story I really enjoyed this film.

Really nice. But sad at the same time

blah de blah

I have nothing to say, but on account of not blogging yesterday I sorta feel like I should just stick something down here today.

I miss Anne, but no doubt she if off settling into NY and far too busy to blog. Kelly is back and blogging though. So yay! for that.

But like I said, I have nothing to say.

I did however buy a new phone. I know, I know, it hasn’t been that long since my last phone purchase. Nowhere near my usual yearly purchase, but I figured, what the hell, and I didn’t really like my motorola. I was going to go for the cool looking Sony Ericsson Z310i, but although it looked nice it didn’t have many features. So instead I went for the Nokia 6234, which is teeny tiny and packed full of features. Of course now I gotta do the “transfer everything I had on my old phone over to my new phone” thing. Which’ll be fun, boys and girls, won’t it? Especially considering that Motorola’s sync software would play nice with Vera and so i don’t have anything at all saved apart from on the phone. See how I make trouble for myself.

And I totally forgot to mention that the All-Ireland kicked off last weekend. And you be delighted to hear that Sligo won their opening round. Then again, we were playing New York, so anything other than a victory woulda been a disaster.

And B#5 got his place in the Limerick sports/rugby academy thingy that he was looking for, so now he can do his leaving without worrying about points. At least I think he can, I presume he’ll have to pass in certain subjects, but to be honest I haven’t a clue.

And while I’m saying nothing, does anyone know what time the polling stations close at in the election? Need to figure out what time I have to leave Dublin at.
