Quantumed

Saw Quantum of Solace past Sunday. Kevs and I were having this text debate about Daniel Craig. Kevs can't stand the blond bond whilst the image of him emerging from the ocean is permanently tattooed in my semi-alzheimer state mind.

Enjoyed the flick. Looking forward to watching Twilight though I am a bit concerned about all the hype/buzz that it's been generating (ew.com has a freaking devoted page to the movie). It might just turn out to be another reincarnation of a Life Less Ordinary (anybody remember this movie?) which turned out to be a Life Mostly Sucky. I was wishing, no hoping, nay, utterly desirous that the latter be a massive hit but it barely made an impact in the stratosphere except display the fact that Ewan Mcgregor a.) managed to combine acting like a hapless idiot and still look adorable and b.) being blonde can only take you so far. Acting chops are required to be considered as an actor and not be dismissed as just another pretty face. (Begins with a "c" and ends with an "ameron" --- [But Avid! She has seen Justin's Timberlakes!] heh.)

Re-reading The Time Travellers Wife by Niffelenger. It's a lovely read though I would recommend that this should be read once you are over that indefinable stage that closely resembles the gray gel-like flotsam and jetsam of loneliness and longing.

Because it is mostly about longing for something that you already have. And that has claimed itself to be yours.

Am planning to hit Ho Chi Minh in 2009. Of course I don't know anybody there. That's the point of jumping into an adventure right? To lose your current identity to find a new one. I'd hate to quibble about finding yourself ( 30 years and you're still lost?!) but sometimes, you just really have to get lost and explore outer space.

If not Ho Chi Minh (and it's glorious French-Asian fusion street food --- though I hate the word "fusion" in relation to food with a passion) then I am hoping that I end up in Indonesia.

Definitely not in Singapore. Maybe HK. But that would be pushing it.

But hey, given the opportunity to see Justin's Timberlakes, I'd gladly go to Timbuktu.
