Bowl of Oranges.

So, one of the first things I did to celebrate a new year was watching The Office. It was the American version, which is still as hilarious as the UK version. Steve Carrell is quite funny, but I'd pick Ricky Gervais over him any day. I like how awkward things tend to be when there are little office brawls with one another. It's like a soap opera, except better; none of that stupid Degrassi shit that people watch nowadays. It's all about mockumentaries. Well, in some cases. There was this one movie I watched with Matt called Surf's Up, which wasn't really funny, but I'd rank it as "cute". Shia LeBeouf was in it, and so was Zooey Deschanel, but I didn't think it was as good as Walking With The Penguins or whatever it's called. You know, the one that Morgan Freeman narrated. Anyways, Surf's Up was a supposed mockumentary-like movie, but I just didn't see how it was anything like one. It was completely random. But I suppose that the comedy was correct, meaning that it was actually funny.

The first movie I watched in theatres for the year was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I really enjoyed it, but the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald wasn't followed. It's okay because the outcome was brilliant. Kudos to David Fincher and Eric Roth (director and writer, which is weird that I didn't wikipedia that this time; straight from memory from the credits!). And kudos to Brad Pitt for doing such a terrific job for looking attractive and of course, the acting. Oh, and Cate Blanchett for making me want to slap her character. Nice work. The movie got me worried, though. About certain aged people in my life, that I love and care about. Some of them are aging and their limbs are starting to make them clumsy and spill food on their clothes and that makes me really sad. It's like, the older you get, the quicker you age. That freaks me out. I'm still pretty young and I'm not aging as fast my beloved elders. I'm going to graduate high school in a few years; like, in 3 years. My parents are around in their, what, 50's right now? It's scary. Then, there's this thing about this clock that goes backwards. I believe that the clock might be real and that I could bear a child that looks like a baby, but looks like he's 70 when he turns 4, or something. I think a clock like that is amazing, though. I like the concept of it, and the way that its creator explains why he made it that way. It's very intriguing. I think I might go and buy that short story and compare it to the movie. It might be the only way I could understand more. Maybe not. I might just be too young to even be thinking about things like this.


School is in a few hours, after an interlude of slumber, which I should probably get to going.
In about another hour or so, it will be the end of winter vacation and back to school, which totally sucks because I don't want to go back. Even though this vacation wasn't as thrilling, I still enjoyed every inch and second of it. But, it is how it is.


Have a lovely evening.
Cheers xoxo .
