Thank God It's Friday

Whew! What a busy week that was. I'm glad it's already Friday!

I haven't been able to go online as much the past week mainly because I'm swamped with work and my free time has been devoted to hungrily reading the Millennium trilogy. I'm down to the last few chapters of the final book and I have to say that the novels were very enjoyable. I have sometimes stayed past my normal bedtime just because I couldn't put it down. I actually missed reading cause it's been so long since I've last opened a book. Larsson's novels are one heck of a reintroduction to the joys of it.

Some Peace and Quiet

So after all the pasalubong shopping and my Manila trip, my resources have been depleted that there's nothing left for me to do but stay home...at least until after the next pay day. :p I was just at home the entire weekend catching up on movies that I've already downloaded. I watched Precious and was blown away by Mo'Nique's performance. I had to search for her best supporting actress acceptance speech right after her bawling scene at Mariah's office.

I also watched Russel Crowe and Ben Affleck's State of Play adapted from an original BBC series which I didn't quite like. I felt that the movie's ending was a bit rushed. I was still trying to fully digest what was happening in the background and I'm already seeing the credits roll. 

I also tried to watch The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but was a bit disoriented. Instead of having English subtitles, they dubbed the English dialogues and they didn't do such a good job. After watching a few frames, I decided to stop and just look for another copy. Incidentally, Monica sent me an FB message asking me to read the novels first. This got me all excited since I miss reading and was in bad need of a good recommendation. I actually haven't found the time to read the past few months so yesterday before heading home, I passed by Popular and found the first two books in the series on sale. Combined I got 300pesos off which was a real good deal.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Only a few weeks after I finished reading the last installment of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, I find out that there's another book soon to be released. The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary!!! Based on what I read, this is a companion book to the movie that is to be released this April.

After holding open editions, here's Zachary Gordon who will be playing Greg.
