Where did all my time go?

A friend pointed out to me today that I suck at blogging. I know, it's been about a week since my last post, so yeah, fine, I kinda do. In my defense, let me just say that I have no time. Yeah right, everyone has no time these days. Yes, this is true, but really, that is the sole earnest excuse I've got. Although, I've realised while writing this down that this 'no time' thing is a mere short cut for me to refrain from going into depth on what I've really been doing. Now, I feel obligated to explain in detail ... but, in keeping with the theme of time-limitations and my current indolent state of mind, I shall quickly attribute the commencement of classes, internships, homework, socialising requirements, getting sick and so forth as the main causes of my blogging drought. Besides, it takes me forever to write. My thoughts (unlike many way-talented people) do not flow directly onto paper in perfectly formed, entertaining sentences. So I guess, this post is ending up somewhat as a disclaimer along the lines of I write sporadically, please read at your own discretion for reader-writer relationships may not ever develop. The end.

Worthwhile movies I watched over the week:

1. Being John Malkovich - very original concept, philosophical even, way trippy though (do not watch high)
2. Trust the Man - currently still in theatres, funny, enjoyably realistic in the movie-world sense, and if you live in nyc you will recognise almost all locations featured which makes it give off a warm relatable feeling I guess
3. Akeelah and the Bee - poignant, motivational, and a rare appreciation of kids that are 11

Yes, it was quite a delectable treat. I'm glad it met my expectations, I would hate to have Ed Norton and the idea of magic disappoint. The way it was shot made it seem all dark and ominous but the storyline itself was rather sweet. Gosh, I just love the juxtaposition. Although given the title, it was a tad predictable, namely the ending. But, that's what truly appeals (or at least to me). My fairytale-loving self derived estatic pleasure from witnessing the classic elements of boy and girl falling in love, social-class boundaries, castles, horses and MAGIC mesh together in an expected but comforting way. Now, I can't wait for "The Prestige" to come out. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale, mmm. Maybe, Hollywood is setting up a new trend of hot actors playing magicians. Nice (even Gob from "Arrested Development" is kinda cute in that clueless and selfish manner of his). Maybe then magic as a hobby will appear less geeky to the general public. I recall joining 'Magic Club' at NYU in freshmen year. You may ask, "what possessed you to exhibit such odd behaviour?" Well, the culprit was that fairytale-loving self again, it seemed to want to 'spread the love' or some other equally sincere and cheesy reason. Alas, there was some mocking and ridicule among friends.

Current frame of mind:
- After that long entry I still have 7 more hours of work to go?! *Agog face* Kill me now.
