I won't cry wolf.

Sitting on my bed at the flat. No one else is here right now, and I'm just passing the time until my next lecture at 1pm. It's raining and I feel quite relaxed. This song I'm listening to by Adema with the thunder in the distance is very soothing.

Juno's a pretty good movie, Ellen Page is a great actor. Got a bit freaked out at the awkward tension between Juno and Mark, I was almost sure he was gonna try to make out with her. It's funny how Paulie wears short shorts throughout the whole movie.

Meh.

Mirror mirror on the wall.

The "horror" film Mirrors. Is it good or not? Well here's my opinon.

Warning *Spoilers start here.*

The movie starts out good enough, a dude running away from something and ends up dead with an open throat. Which got me thinking, this movie's going to be pretty gory. In reality, it's not. Apart from that scene, there was only one other such scene, where the main character's sister rips off her own jaw. Now that was pretty damn disturbing, and with a scene like that you'd expect the movie to be packed with that kind of stuff. But no, it's not. That's the only gore. However the film did have its share of scares, like the burning people in the reflection. It's an okay movie overall, but definitely not one of the scariest.

*Spoilers end here.*

This morning I caught the wrong bus for university. Actually, it was the right bus but it was going the other way. In other words, I ended up in Valletta instead. However I had just enough time to catch another bus and make it in time for my only lecture of the day.

There's one thing that I think is worth a mention. It's something I never knew existed but it's sold here in Malta. Sliced white bread with no crust. And each slice is twice as long as a normal slice of bread. Hats off to whoever thought of it. Not that I don't like the crust, but when it comes to little kids, such bread is so convenient to shut their whiny traps.

So many lectures.

First day of lectures. A whopping 2 lectures. First one, Elements of Maltese Law, was supposed to be a double lesson but the lecturer was man enough to admit his 35 minute attention span, along with ours. So we left after 45 minutes.The second lecture was 4 hours later. Statistics and computing. Hah. The guy's a Gozitan with a British accent and he only speaks into the microphone half of the time. It's like he's drunk or something, constantly swaying the thing around.

Oh hi Jo, glad you can read this.

I think I managed to get Fridays off for the first semester. I just had to move a couple of lectures around. I only have one tomorrow because some lectures haven't commenced yet. Haven't really made any new friends, mommy, but I'm working on that.

I drew Hitler moustaches on the picture of you and Amy on your clock hanging in your room.

Tonight I think we're going to watch American Pie: Beta House. Never heard of this one before actually. Hope it's good. Then I'll continue reading Omerta' by Mario Puzo. It's a good book so far, but I'll comment on it later when I'm through with it. It might take me a while to finish it though.

But for the record, it was Luke's idea.

Supposedly the last weekend before university starts.

And I'm back in Gozo for the weekend. Hooray. If it weren't for my girlfriend and my dirty laundry I'd have no reason to return to Gozo every weekend. And driving lessons. I have one at 11am today. I'm so close to taking the driving exam. Fuck, I can't wait.

Watched a couple more movies at the flat yesterday. The Prestige and The Departed. Both have great storylines. The Prestige's ending was one of the best ever, it was so unexpected. Fallon was a twin. Who knew? As for The Departed, so many great actors put into one movie just made it even better. Jack Nicholson, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Wahlberg, Martin Sheen, Anthony Anderson. Whoa, it's like an all-star game of actors.

On a side note, I still haven't found a supermarket in Malta that sells Budwieser yet.

And VERY IMPORTANT note to self: Never down a cheese baguette with chocolate milk in the morning. I feel like hurling right about now.

Rise n' shine.

I was supposed to wake up almost 2 hours ago. I just showered after waking up at 10.15. I'm quite aware of what I like to call my heavy sleeping disorder. Joseph has it too, he's still asleep as I type. We were going to go to the grocery store this morning. I need Corn Flakes. And I really need to buy a six-pack of Budwieser.

I watched The Shining last night. I guess it's true that the novel is always way better than the book. The movie wasn't half as scary as the book makes it. And it ended way differently. Hell, the movie sucks. No living topiary animals? And wasn't the hotel supposed to blow up?

Before finishing up the movie Joseph and I spent some time printing old funny pictures in black and white and putting them up on our room doors. They're kind of like flashbacks of yourself to remember before walking into your room, like walking out of the past and into your future. That's how I like to think of it. Even if my past consists of edited pictures of me as Che Guevara, a chef, and one of the Beatles.

Tomorrow I shall post up a recipe which Jo and I used yesterday. Chicken or beef with red beans. My mom gave it to us, it's pretty simple but really good. If you're a university student you might like to try it out instead of having noodles or pizza again.

Home away from home.

Mmm finally, internet in Malta.

First night at the flat has passed. Watched Saw with the others and then I watched Click because I couldn't sleep. Saw has a pretty awesome ending, I was so not expecting that "dead" guy to be Jigsaw. I also liked Click's moral of the story, you know, putting family before work. Touching.

Today I watched V for Vendetta which is also a great movie. However, I learned that you should never tell your friends what movie you're watching. Why? Well, there I was, minding my own business watching the movie when I received an SMS from Joseph who was in his room saying "V dies :D". The fucker then came into my room grinning cheesily so I flipped him off.

The university campus is still one giant maze to me. I can't get used to the damn thing. We Bcom students start lectures on the 7th of October. Booya.

Spore is quite an interesting computer game. The other guys love it but I'm not so keen on it. Guess it's because it would be easier if I had a mouse for this laptop. Oh yeah, note to self: get a frikkin' mouse. But no I don't really like the game anyway, not my kind of thing.
