super rich kids

Wouldnt it be so satisfying to be a snake? I was ripping off the skin from my thumb and was just thinking does a snake feel this level of satisfaction when it sheds its entire body?

I had a dream Wincentia messaged me being like "WHY DID YOU SPOIL A GHOST STORY FOR ME". V odd because I haven't seen/talked to her in a long time.

Tutored Kevin a few nights ago, then had hotpot with Ohana. It turned out quite well LOL they bought this soup base from Tong Li that smelt very strange but after we chucked all the meat/veges in it it tasted so yummy. Curly is a cute dog. He kept smelling me probs because I smelt like Oscar? We watched a bit of American Gods which was way too avant garde for me. This guy... got swallowed up... by a vagina...

Does anyone automatically assume that no one wants to hear you talk because that's me.

Tutored my boss' daughter yesterday. Tutored my normal class and yay done tutoring for this term yippeeeee.

Made these cupcakes for dogs HAHAAHAHAHA the icing looks like complete shit. but they were kinda yummy. Heaps of healthy things in it - oats, carrot, honey, coconut oil, peanut butter etc. Watch this space for a video soon! x (features 4 doges!!!)

Had a dream about you know who and I hate myself for it. sucks cus I was so happy too. 

Today, went Bankstown with Amy, going to tutor Kevin soon. We had some noodles for lunch. Mine weren't that great :(

Wish I lived in NY ugh. This is such cool marketing for a movie. You can go in and try a bedsheet on for yourself!!!! and theres free icecream. IS THAT NOT COOL???

MOVIE STUFF

********************

Basically, I spend too much time in front of my TV.

Big Little Lies (2017) - fucking do it
Gladiator (2000) - don't do it
Marie Antoinette (2006) - don't do it
The Social Network (2010) - do it again
The Master (2012) - don't do it
The Truman Show (1998) - duh...
In The Mood For Love (2000) - um nah Carol but with straight people

Big Little Lies (2017)

Dir. Jean-Marc Vallée
Yeah the girls

The best TV show I've seen in a while?? I mean I haven't really seen many tbh but it was so good and so addictive.. I watched the first 2 eps then kind forgot about it during the peak stress of exams but then finished the last 5 episodes in a day. Oh and its only 7 episodes so its not even a big commitment. 

For those saying its like Pretty Little Liars, its really not. The only thing they have in common is that someone dies and you don't even find out who it is for a while. So so so so good --> deals with sexual assault, violent relationships, parenting, class structures etc that makes it sound so boring but legit its so JUICY and dramatic and SHOT AMAZINGLY WELL and you can see the thought that goes into it because it is a miniseries. Watching PLL, where it seems like they're scrambling to make plotlines up every episode, after watching this is like eating sugar-free cheerios after trying the honey ones. The music is so nice as well. Nicole Kidman went so far for her character like.... shit....

Roped Amy into watching this too lol its scary how on point she is at guessing plot??

Gladiator (2000)

Dir. Ridley Scott

If I watched this back in 2000 I probably would've been mindblown but everything seems so dated now. It reminded me of Game Of Thrones even though obviously this came before. Colours were very desaturated and yeah the action was so meh. Really did not give a fuck at the end. Also it didn't help I was watching this "epic" on my tiny TV screen. 

I also can't believe Russell Crowe won best actor for this?????????????? He was good but not that good. Joaquin Phoenix was kinda shit noah fence. IT was so fucking long we had to watch it in 2 sittings. 

Marie Antoinette (2006)

Dir. Sofia Coppola

Kinda disappointed because this was marketed as a chick flick and it really wasn't that. It was kind of a very pretty mess. Got bored sometimes. I liked the use of contemporary music though like that worked. 

I'm a fake Sofia Coppola stan because I haven't even seen any of her other movies besides Lost in Translation (the Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson one in Japan) which I hated. 

The Social Network (2010)

Dir. David Fincher

perfect. 

he's making the sequel to World War Z when he SHOULD be making more movies like this.

(rewatched this with my sis who has never seen it and also rewatched the 93 minute making of documentary I love the twins special effects and how precise David is with his actors ugh he's obsessed)

The Master (2012)

Dir. Paul Thomas Anderson

I've watched this in 3 sittings and still have not finished I'm not connecting with any of the characters I really could give less fucks.

The Truman Show (1998)

Dir. Peter Weir

this came out when I was born... wth....

So funny loved it

In the Mood for Love (2000)

Dir. Wong Kar-Wei

This was on like so many Cinefix top 10 videosfor best use of colour, best scene, best ______ moment, whatever ITS ALWAYS THERE THEY REALLY LOVE THIS MOVIE.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm yeah idk it was good and all like v nice film to look at (despite us watching a shit quality version of it) but not gonna lie I got a bit bored. 

It was EVEN MORE restrained than Carol and that is saying something. The love between these two characters is so ... not explosive? which I get is kind of the point but?????? Ending is kinda depressing. 

Me reading all these 5 star reviews on letterboxd like.... what am I missing. I am definitely missing something. Wish I could love this movie but I don't.

Also THIS MOVIE WAS IN CANTONESE AS WELL LIKE WTF it was so confusing listening to it but also reading the subs for clarification.

hi im alive

Sunday - came home from Amy's and watched Marie Antoinette
Monday - helped some ungrateful children with their HW, started Gladiator
Tuesday - made some kale salad for the fam. they complained about how big the kale pieces were and I was like... open ur fucking mouth wider. Finished Big Little Lies which was great. also finished Gladiator.

I've made ... 4 gifsets in the last few days?? My sister keeps complaining about how bored she is and I just want to scream at her MAKE SOME BLOODY GIFSETS. WASTE YOUR LIFE AWAY LOOKING AT FLASHING RGB PIXELS. WITNESS OTHER PEOPLE FEELING THINGS. BUY A DOG. ONLINE SHOP FOR FIDGET SPINNERS. I DUNNO THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO.

Today is my 2nd day at home, completely free and I'm not bored yet!! Playing lots of guitar. I learnt um this Fleetwood Mac song called Never Going Back Again which is a really classic beginner fingerstyle song lmao I've never actually heard the legit song, just other ppl playing it when they're teaching me.

Very ceebs blogging because haven't stepped out of my house in a while. Y'all ever wonder why I even blog cus I do.

-----------------------------------------

NEW DAY, again did nothing. I haven't left my house in a really long time... I'm starting to feel the boredom...

I vacuumed the entire upstairs of my house and was left with two plastic bags worth of dust and hair it was so gross.

OH MY GOD THIS SCENE WAS SO FUNNY EVEN IN CONTEXT EVERYONE WAS LAUGHING IT WAS HONESTLY THE FUNNIEST PART OF THE ENTIRE MOVIE also casey without the beard looks...his age...

I showed my mum that and tried to explain to her the plot of A Ghost Story and she listened intently and afterwards she was like... what kinda stupid movie is this.

sunset porn // Song to Song

Tutored this morning, told a kid off for not doing working out in his HW and he seemed so apologetic but usually he's pretty bratty so I'm like hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm you two faced af bro.

Then went to Chatswood Westfield with my fam for a "family day out" which we haven't had in ages but I ended up just going around to bargain stores with my dad to buy his dancing costumes + bought mi goreng at an asian grocer + looked at guitars and blurays I'll never be able to afford at JB Hi-Fi.

Had a small lunch at Chatswood then met up with Amy outside her tutoring place to get some overpriced dessert from the Choc Pot. It was shit. Don't do it. it looks nice. but it aint. the brownie was so bitter and dense bleurgh....

Then went to Town Hall together --> I watched a movie and Amy studied.

lorde's new album wow is good is v good

Song to Song (2017)

Dir. Terrence Malick 

song to song ... literally leaked ... when I was IN the cinema ... watching it ... im not even kidding 

can't sleep now because tumblr + twitter so lit and erryone watching this movie.

hot take: Song to Song was actually... good!! Y'all know I went into it 100% expecting to hate it but I actually enjoyed it heaps more than A Ghost Story. Both were completely unique experiences but I guess love triangles and power struggles are more interesting to me.

It was a beautiful movie with a beautiful cast and beautiful cinematography. I think I really have a thing for sunsets. like really wow.

Stuff actually happened in this movie!! I was so put off by Tree of Life because literally nothing happened in the first 17 minutes so I was pleasantly surprised that there was some semblance of a plot here albeit a very vague one. Essentially its a love story between Ryan and Rooney. There were also lots of time jumps but it was fun trying to figure out where all the characters were in their various relationships.

and holy shit are there MANY relationships. Fassbender + Ryan Gosling had like three different love interests, so did Rooney who got with a girl at some point??? like logically this movie is a complete mess --> the characters are unlikable, pace is all fucked up (it really lulls in the middle), they're supposed to be musicians but Ryan is the only one that can sing/play piano, it relies a bit too heavily on voiceover to catch us up with the plot, lots of unnecessary navel kissing etc. I could go on for a v long time nitpicking this movie

but fuck it cus for some reason I was totally absorbed my eyes were glued to the screen I could not wait for what was going to happen next. not really happen actually just awaiting more sunset porn. I was so disappointed when this ended because I wanted it to go on longer??

Kinda sad because Terrence probably filmed hundreds of hours worth of stuff and we ain't ever going to see it :(

Its one of those movies you HAVE TO SEE in cinemas otherwise you're just gonna get bored and not be able to appreciate its true beauty at home on ur laptop screen. I think I'd be so bored if I watched this at home. I saw this at George St (by myself because my 4 friends who I hate enough to ask them to sit through something like this with me, all have finals ugh why do people need to study?????????? like who cares about your future amirite???????????). 

its 4:30 am...I wasn't going to gif this movie but hey it finished downloading so I guess I should...this file is 5.5 gb rip laptop

I am overwhelmed

fucking finally done ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I have recovered from my almost all-nighter yesterday and its now 2:15 am, I'm so awake and I'm making tutoring hw!

So after almost failing my ELEC midsem I learnt nothing and tried to learn the whole course in 2 days before finals and lets just say........ I fucked up. Stephen and I were at uni from 10 am-ish on Thursday and we stayed at uni till our exam the next day at 8:45 am. We camped at library till 12, then moved to The PLACE for the rest of the night. It's so cosy. We went for a maccas run at around 3 am as well. I had 2 bottles of coke, a buttload of fried shit, a pie, hamburgers/subway sandwiches and more junk yesterday ugh. Body is going glug glug glug. Took at nap at 6 am because I had given up. 

I'm fairly certain I passed...... UM I had no clue if anything I was doing was correct. I barely knew which methods to use for each question and I kept getting really weird answers. Basically I was just not sure about EVERYTHING. I needed to get 94/100 to get a HD HAHAHAHAHA lol good bye what a joke like I lost 6 marks alone on individual questions. 

I sorted out my group work mark discrepancy thing. The guy complaining just dug himself into a deeper hole and now he has to resubmit his part of the assignment by next week or else he'll get 0 so fuck him.

This one tumblr post I posted keeps sporadically blowing up?? Its on 2.8k notes now but like randomly will get 400 notes at a time. Can u imagine having that much power. Like to reblog a post then instantly its gets a fuckload more notes because you have that many followers? One can dream. Sigh tumblr is getting less fun by the day. 

This bitch going to see Song To Song tomorrow I already know I'm going to hate it ragrats maybe I should swap my tickets for the Beguiled or something... I still haven't finished Tree of Life ugh what a pain to sit through

Me at 5am this morning:

Hello world, this is me! Life should be. Fun for everyone. 

It is currently 5:26 am and I'm  tired sitting in the business building contemplating what will happen if I do actually fail my ELEC exam in 3 hours. This is probably the closest I have ever come to failing anything wow. You would've thought I had learnt my lesson from the 58/100 midsem but alas no instant gratification has won me over yet again. I finished the new season of OITNB yesterday and it was wonderful and fabulous and just ugh LOCK ME THE FUCK UP

the eyebags are starting to show and I really need to shower. ALso I can't sleep because stephen's math teacher told him that if you pull an all nighter you shouldn't sleep because your mind starts to erase all its short term memory. 

I LOVE RUTH AND SYLVIE

I LOVE FARTING AND LONG WALKS ON THE BEACH

I SAW MUHAMMAD AND LUCY TODAY LOL THEY CAME TO STUDY AT LIB FOR LIKE 5 MINS BEFORE WE GOT KICKED OUTTA THE ROOM.

IM FUCKING TIRED MAYBED WE CAN WATCH THE SUNSET TODAY!@@!!@#!23

EACH PAST PAPER WE DO FOR ELEC WE AINT GETTING ANY BETTER HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUN TIMES!!!@#!$451$%!@#$!$!45894ODFADF;ADFV;KDFNFNDV

mman + A Ghost Story

exam #2 and film #2.

Yesterday

Ok I just realised how fucking mean we were to Ms Cantrill I can't believe the disregard we had for other human being's feelings back in HS.

MMAN is so hard I may actually just rage quit rn I don't understand so many things. ok 2 hours later and the situation has escalated THIS IS BAD strain gauges choke me as stephen would say "this beam is stressed / im necking / im about to fail"

I forgot I had work today HAHAHAHA my boss called me 5 mins before homework help and was like...did you forget. yeah sorry I forgot I was trying to comprehend 3 months worth of mechanics in a day

On the bright side I'm going to see A Ghost Story TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sad David Lowery can't be there because he's festival hopping around the US :(

Wow nadal really just did that......................................10 french opens can that guy stop being so predictable

Exactly one year ago today we rose at dawn and gathered in a pit in the ground and started shooting this movie. Tonight we're bringing it home.

A post shared by davidpatricklowery (@davidpatricklowery) on Jun 11, 2017 at 7:41pm PDT

Today

Ok so I woke up bright and early today (7:30 am) to study for MMAN and then ended up watching an OITNB episode 3 hours before my exam. I love these girlies. UGH OITNB is so trash sometimes (Daya's acting can someone kill me its terrible) but it mek me laff very hard. Best moments of the season so far:

• Judy King on the cross
• Flaritza's youtube channel
• Nicky and Vause's makeovers

I was actually cackling. I NEVER CACKLE. 

Went to UTS to meet my sister. I napped for an hour then we went to mappen to eat some deluxe Tonkatsu Deluxe udon ~~~~~~~ Then ANOTHER FILM: A Ghost Story

A Ghost Story (2017)

Dir. David Lowery

making gifs at 3am on 5 hours of sleep when I should be studying for ELEC which I'm utterly fucked in the dickhole for.

my dude is back with A Ghost Story, my most anticipated Sydney Film Festival film.

If you saw my snap story... Ms Vickers was there. WATCHING THE SAME MOVIE WITH ME ABOUT A GHOST IN A BEDSHEET WITH CUT-OUTS FOR EYES. I was walking down the stairs to the lower level seats with my sister and I saw this woman in a red coat and was like NO FUCKING WAY and sure enuff it was June Vickers with her signature bob and really angry face even though I'm sure she is a nice person inside. Can't remember if we gave her a standing ovation when she retired. We probably did. 

I will try to be as honest as possible

If you even skim this blog I think you have some inkling of just how shooketh the first trailer of the movie made me. That compounded with all the brilliant reviews coming out of various film festivals lauding it as a "deeply affecting, head-spinning, poetic exploration of our relationship with time" etc. had me shitting meself with excitement. 

I'm positive this is the longest that 1 hr and 28 mins have ever felt. Is that necessarily a bad thing? I don't think so. Long story short which is the opposite of what this movie was, I liked it but it was weird and slow and idk what it was trying to tell me (or what I'm supposed to interpret from it).

This movie goes through centuries of time in the space of seconds but then also includes drawn-out minute long takes of nothingness. The longest was a five minute unbroken scene of Rooney grief-eating an entire vegan chocolate pie and I loved it because everyone was holding their breath and trying not to cough/fidget but it kept going on and on and you could just feel the atmosphere slowly getting more impatient until finally she got up to vomit and the scene cut and everyone, sighed, cracked their necks and stretched. In my field of vision, about 10 people walked out during this scene. Interestingly enough, the director did predict this would happen. For some reason I've ended up on his blog and he says, "There will be plenty of people who call it pretentious, plenty more who walk out at a very specific point about twenty minutes in, and others who will shrug it off, for whom it will be neither here nor there. But some people will love it, and I'm excited for them to discover it."

Well, just so you know I wasn't bored at all by it lol afterwards my sis and I discussed how weirdly she ate that pie (she mushed it around with her fork for ages to mix the crust with the filling before taking a tiny bite and kept doing that??)

David Lowery + Casey Affleck

Feelsbad for Casey who spent 80% of the movie under a sheet. I wonder if he can actually sing/play piano.

There's not much to spoil in this movie + you're never going to see it so here goes. My favourite scene was the one where Casey is showing Rooney the song he wrote and its fucking amazing and the bass literally shook the whole room but then it suddenly cuts to Rooney post-Casey death, listening to it on her shitty apple earphones and the bass and ambience is gone so the contrast is so real and sad and ugh and it cuts back and forth like that twice then she reaches out to touch the bottom of the ghost's sheet and its just so devastatingly beautiful. Words cannot do it justice. YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE SONG IN THE THEATRE WITH GOOD-ASS SPEAKERS I LOVE THIS SONGGGGGGGGGGG

  

The score was mind-blowing. I feel like there was maybe a total of 15 minutes of dialogue in the entire movie so the music needed to carry it and it really did.

Remember when I fangirled so hard over Ain't Them Bodies Saints and said every frame was an instragram pic? Well, this actually was because FUCK THE LIGHTING WAS STUNNING AND CAMERA MOVEMENTS WERE SO MEASURED UGH I DIE FOR THAT NATURAL LIGHTING THOSE WINDOWS THOSE FADING TRANSITIONS TO SHOW THE PASSAGE OF THE TIME and the ratio was 4:3 which is so close to being square. I was a bit thrown off at the beginning but you get used to it. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything with the thinner screen.

    

What about the actual subject matter of the film? Idk. LOL this is where I stop typing because I really don't know. Its examining the nature of time and how little things can feel really big and big things can feel small but in the end its just all going to disappear one day and there's this amazing monologue halfway through the move about Beethoven and poets and artists and the universe and the sun turning into a red giant and swallowing us whole. We are unimportant.

I left the theatre feeling a lil confused but kinda at peace and I looked up the Queen Victoria Building and said to my sister, "one day that's not going to be there."

fearless + una

Maths was fine. It was good. Idk I crammed so well in the last hour just reading solns of past papers...and so many of the ones I learnt how to do last minute were actually in the exam. I didn't skip any so hopefully can HD. Legit gonna be the only subject I HD this sem

Finished, hung out with Phuc's squad for a bit and again realised how good it would be to have a uni group that does the same course as you. 

Went to Town Hall and met up with FD and Feng for dinner at Chat Thai which I don't remember ever being that overpriced but apparently it always is?? Portion sizes were tiny we got like two noodles in our pad see ew and it wasn't even that nice. The mango coconut sticky rice was yummy but still not really worth the $9.

First Sydney Film Festival Film

Then we went to the State Theatre to watch Una and originally Feng wasn't supposed to come cus we already bought tickets and there were no more seats next to FD and I but ofc we didn't want to leave her so we just bought her last minute tickets. She had to sit between two really old people. Actually scratch that, everyone in the cinema was really really old. The youngest around us were like the people wearing hipster glasses w/ front bangs (probably art students) HAHAHA but yeah everyone was sipping wine and wearing trench coats. 

  

  

Didn't know Ben was showing up like literally

this fucking journalism tho can you imagine having this job............

Went to Caffe Tiamo afterwards for bingsoo and cheesy fries and had a chill time we kept missing trains cus we were talking too much. Cheesy fries were pretty good!

 

Then went home... and fucked up HAHAHA. I didn't even really procrastinate. I started marking at 12:30 then was up till 4 because I also had to make hw for them... then I gave up and went to sleep for 3.5 hours to wake up and keep marking. 

Tutoring was pretty standard, I got really pissed at this girl that just zoned out so I called on her randomly and she couldn't answer my question cus she had no idea what was going on and I just held the awkward silence for so long as she struggled before I was like "can anyone help her?" 

Met Lulu at cabra lib and we actually studied quite well? My concentration span is so bad these days haha. I just revised the stuff I should've already knew for ELEC... but also remember that i got 58 for my midsem so revising just means I was learning it again. 

Went home at 4 and dicked around then took a nap...until 9:30 HAHAHA. So now I'm blogging and need to study but also ceebs.

wow Leon Bridges' voice is like

I've been listening to Fearless for the past two days cus its on Spotify? Idk but I miss Taylor Swift's country days where she played the same 4 chords and sang about dumb shit. I'd like to think she still sings about dumb shit and that she's just getting more subtle about it instead of screaming about how he doesnt call her back at 2 a.m. and they're arguing in the rain because he said they would be forever and always but now he's changed and she's crying on her guitar and prolly rusting the strings. 

Una (2016)

Dir. Benedict Andrews

This is the probably the first movie I've watched where everything is everything is so ambiguous but thats ok because forming your own opinion is half the fun. Me forming an opinion is not something that's done very often.

Watch it if the subject matter interests you (paedophilia/abuse) or even if it doesn't its so intense and gripping. I went into it thinking I was going to be bored because the trailer gives away most of the big plot points anyway but its the exchanges between the two actors that suck you in. WHO KNEW TALKING IN ONE ROOM COULD BE SO EXCITING.

If you like what you see and you wanna see more click right here to see more

My thoughts on this were so naive I legit thought he loved her HAHAHA OK bye but no you're supposed to question whether he was actually just using her for her body or if he actually cared? And his step-daughter at the end like its meant to be ambiguous whether he was abusing her too BUT I believed everything he said about how Una was the only one.

Anyway shits fucked every way you interpret it... they went about as far as they could without actually showing it so like some parts were hard to watch (esp the toilet scene when she's describing everything).

Rooney's nipple piercing

I love this gif and will use it until the file gets corrupted

Rooney's British accent

it was bad and all over the place which is weird cus she's usually pretty good with accents. in the trailer it was bad but I was hoping they just picked a bad line

that poor woman has no idea who she's married to

she said the o's in like 3 different ways

I liked it and would watch it again. It could totally be a text you'd analyse in English.

Me asking Feng and FD to come A Ghost Story is like asking them to die for me.
