Movies again...
So with the Golden Globes behind us and the Oscars in only two months, i just couldn't resist the temptation to write about movies. Please keep in mind though, that my movie posts are basically just one paragraph saying how i felt about the movie, so don't expect anything too serious!
Well, let's start with my favorite movie, Pan's Labyrinth. It completely blew my mind... so amazingly imaginative... a great blend of fantasy and reality, in my opinion. And I absolutely loved the soundtrack. Have watched it twice so far, and am getting tempted to watch it again. Just read a few reviews on it and i'm sure you'll decide to watch it too.
Then, there's my least favorite movie of the season, Children of Men. I mean, you watch the trailer and you get all excited about it. Then you go watch the movie, and honestly, there's not much more to it than the trailer! Basically, just add a few running and chasing scenes and a good amount of blood in between and you'll have it. And except for Michael Caine i didn't find any of the actors too strong.
I also got tempted and went to watch the Dreamgirls. Now, it wasn't too bad, but definitely not the greatest movie. I agree that most of the actors were pretty good (there were a few exception, of course... like...hmmm, let's see...Byonce!!!) and the music was very good too. But honestly i can't see why it won the Golden Globes... anyway, if you're into musicals go watch it, it's kind of fun to watch it with a good sound system.
Oh yeah! and i watched the Holiday! (i know, i know, it's shameful!) ... i think it's pretty obvious what this movie is all about... a chick flick with beautiful people and a happy ending. I love Kate Winslet though and she looked gorgeous all through the movie, that's something to be happy about i guess!

You know what's funny?
a guy who's trying to impress you, but is so nervous that ends up spitting into your Chai latte from across the table! Poor guy, must have felt awful.
irrelevant: thanks to Pooya's tips and ideas, i finally made a few changes to my template, so now longer posts with lots of photos and stuff will have a summary and an expandable link. i know how slow Internet speed can drives you nuts, but honestly, most of the photos on this blog are not even 50kb! Hope this helps a little at least.

totally out of inspirations to write!
... but i changed my template photo! so hopefully I'll get back in the blogging mood pretty soon...
PS - by the way, my template now looks a bit awkward in IE! Anyone knows how I'm supposed to fix the top picture and the main body so they don't overlap?

A real phone, finally!
So after three years of using the crappiest possible cell phone (provided by my even crappier service provider), i finally have a real phone to use, and it's seriously cool! I got it sent from Iran (naturally!) and am really happy with it, except that the ring tones are, how should i put it, a bit cheesy! but i can live with it i guess.
It's -6 C here tonight; my ears were literally falling off on the way home. Who says global warming is a myth?! If this is not the Universe messing with us, i don't know what is!

Munching on holiday photos!
...Its the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the east
At least it settles in the final location
Its understood that hollywood
Sells californication...
Title: Californication, By: The Red Hot Chilli Peppers
Here's a few pictures from my vacation traveling, and it's not fair that California gets to be this sunny, like all the time! it's really not fair. To demonstrate this unfairness(!), just look at our back alley today (of course, the B&W effect is just to emphasize my point!!!):
and then look at the following!The beautiful Getty Center in L.A. :
A very cute shoe shop on Sunset Blvd., L.A. (photo taken by Kaveh):
Waiting for breakfast from Porto's, a sunny day in Burbank:
Fake Venice and Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas, the most artificial place on the planet:
Downtown Seattle view from their famous Space needle:
And finally me, experimenting with the camera in a cozy internet cafe in Seattle:

About a girl
She was not supposed to cry. She knew it. No matter what he said, no matter how close they think they were. Crying was a no-no. She was the cynical one. The pessimist. The one to resist the temptation of romance. She was only a human. She grew weak, let the temptation take over. She lost control. She cried. Everything turned into dust.The spell broke. The reality came shining through: People always act like the cliches that they are. No exceptions... never.

Always on guard...
that's what you should be. Put your guard down and you'll see what happens.
Irrelevant - Pan's Labyrinth: AWESOME! The most violent fairy tale you've ever known. And the sweetest.
