movie questions

Tagged again, this time by Cat:

1. One movie that made you laugh: The Incredibles, I watched it for the first time on TV a while ago and I think it's on again tonight...I thought it was the funniest animated film I'd seen in ages. And Monsters' Inc. Therese and I laughed our heads off when we watched that during one of our HSC "study" days at her place...

2. One movie that made you cry: The Lion King, the first time I watched it as a kid. And I'm ashamed to admit, Titanic...

3. One movie you loved when you were a child: Aladdin...loved the genie and the songs and all...

4. One movie you’ve seen more than once: The Sound of Music....watched that one quite a few times on video....

5. One movie you loved, but were embarrassed to admit it: Haha, I used to love (and mostly still do) anything animated or Disney....including High School Musicals 1 and 2...cheesiness to the max but very enjoyable.

6. One movie you didn't like: Traffic...it was about drug trafficking and I had no idea what was going on in parts...

7. One movie that scared you: Those Alfred Hitchcock ones we watched on Angi's (?) laptop at Terrigal....Psycho and Rear Window and others. Also horror flicks like Shaun of the Dead....yuck (even though it's meant to be a comedy). And parts of The Da Vinci Code as well.

8. One movie that bored you: Hmmm not sure about this one, there was that Chinese arthouse film Pun made us see at Paddington, I can't even remember what it was called, so definitely I would have been slightly bored in that one.

9. One movie that made you happy: Amelie, that's a good feel-good one.

10. One movie that made you miserable: A Very Long Engagement - another Audrey Tautou film, but this one had a rather tragic ending. King Kong was quite tragic as well.

11. One movie you weren’t brave enough to see: Um, not sure, there's probably a lot (judging from my answers to no. 7)

12. One movie character you’ve fallen in love with: Legolas in The Two Towers was quite good, especially with the whole skateboarding down the flight of stairs on a shield while shooting arrows :P

13. The last movie you saw: At the cinemas it was Jumper....that was like at the beginning of the year. A bit disappointing that one.

14. The next movie you hope to see: High School Musical 3! :D LOL.... And Step Up 2 did look kinda cool too (Ok, so I'm into the whole singing/dancing in movies thing...)

15. Now tag five people: Not going to bother naming anyone specifically this time, but if you happen to be reading this and enjoy doing these things, go ahead :)

Laughing at myself

I've just been reading over some of my posts on this blog from the past year and a half....and it's so funny...!

And Burn Your Plastic Jesus with speaker Mark Driscoll is on TONIGHT at the Sydney Entertainment Centre! Been looking forward to it for a while...hope my friends come on time and that many people will have their views of Jesus challenged...

I've been tagged!

Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. (No cheating!)

Post the next 3 sentences.
Tag 5 people.

Thanks to Alicia who was concerned for the health of my blog ("barely alive; hanging by a thread..."), I now have something to post!

Unfortunately, the nearest book to me is the Australian Medicines Handbook 2008 Edition (aka "The AMH"), which is basically like "the bible" of the pharmacy profession...in fact, I was meant to be studying from it before I was distracted by Alicia's blog and found out I had been tagged.

This is rather hard seeing as the start of page 123 doesn't even have proper sentences...but here is an excerpt from that page...I'm in the Antibiotics chapter, in the Penicillins section, in the drug monograph of ampicillin:

[under heading "Indications" (i.e. what it's used for)]

Exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, community-acquired pneumonia
Gonococcal infection, UTI
Non-surgical prophylaxis of endocarditis
Acute cholecystitis, peritonitis, epididymo-orchitis, acute pyelonephritis, acute prostatitis

Riveting. Although, there's quite a few interesting "-itis" 's in there, maybe I should look them up.

Yay, now I can tag 5 people...even though hardly anyone reads or updates blogs anymore....

1. Cat
2. Pun
3. J Chow
4. Kazzart
5. Alex Fung

Have fun!

Back to the AMH...

Argh it's the end of June!

hmmm proper post coming soon.....or later....

Eurovision!

Well as Alicia kindly pointed out, it's nearly the end of this month and I haven't posted yet, so thought I'd just write about something generic...

So last weekend was the first time I'd ever watched the SBS broadcast of the annual Eurovision Song Contest...and surprisingly, it was rather entertaining (and also mildly amusing in parts). Some of the performances were pretty tacky, but there were others that were quite good. Loved the wit and sarcasm of the UK commentator as well...

Anyway, the Albanian entry was my favourite one, even though they only came 17th or something...the vocals weren't perfect, but the singer is only 16, so thought it was pretty good considering....Have no idea what she's singing as it's not in English, but apparently the title translates as "Hearts Trapped in Time". Hmmm...anyway, it had a good melody, and I liked the guitar part in it too :) Go Albania!
