Headache

November 5, 2009

I’d like to think I now know everything about diabetes.

Next is pituitary disorders. I painted my nails with the slowest-drying colour I have so that I’ll be forced to stay up many more hours to study. I hope this works.

Film Review: The Time Traveler’s Wife

November 5, 2009

I read this book so long ago that I don’t remember a lot, but even so, I noticed how much content was left out of the movie, but that’s always the case anyway.

I really liked the cast, especially Rachel McAdams to play Claire, and although I imagined Adam Levine the whole time I was reading, Eric Bana’s close enough. Oh, actually, the only character who I thought was inappropriately cast was Dr Kendrick, who is played by Stephen Tobolowsky, aka Sandy from Glee. If you don’t watch Glee don’t worry. But if you do, you’d be laughing through all of his scenes too. I bet the casting directors are regretting it.

For such a long plot, I suppose the movie did the best it could to squeeze most of it into 2 hours or however long it was. The reason I found The Time Traveler’s Wife so touching was because you’re exposed to the characters so much that you emphasise with them like you’re them. Only the book can pull off that kind of attachment. Despite that we ended up crying very shamelessly.

It’s a very lovey movie. 100% not B’s type. If you don’t believe in/care about/megaloathe love it’ll be too eye-rolling inducing. If you have love troubles it’ll be too sad. If you have a significant other who time travels it’ll be too perfect for words! 7.5/10

 

It’s kind of rainy.

I’m typing this post just following a train of thought and not thinking about what I’m going to say next but just typing because I like hearing myself type and when I’m doing this it’s really annoying ending sentences so I think I’ll just go ahead and write really long never-ending ones which suits the whole train of thought thing better. Whoops, well that one had to end anyway. So I was thinking I should maybe do at least two objectives a day and that would be the only way I’ll get all of them done before the pharmacotherapeutics exam next week but I’m meeting C in 3 hours for Time Traveler’s Wife which starts in 5 hours so we’ll just be spending the surplus time eating and playing basketball at Prize Paradise (shut up) and I hate how you can do the funnest things but if you have exams soon they’re just not as enjoyable.

As for the thing I’ve been entertaining in my mind for the past couple of days, it has been fun reminiscing about the last few months realising that suddenly everything made sense and all my suspicions have been totally spot on, but now I’ve exhausted my passive-aggressive cattiness and you are no longer interesting.

C: She’s stupid
Me: Ask her anyway
You don’t need answers
You just need papers
C: She doesn’t have the papers
And I have the answers
They’re answers to MCQs
Me: LOL
