Updates

So it’s been a while, I know.
Goodness, so much has happened in the last couple of weeks. Good, bad, icky, heartbreaking, liberating, disheartening, elating, blah, blah, blah.
I know I haven’t been updating like I used to, and I’m not really sure why. I guess the best thing about blogging is that it’s optional. […]

Partially Solved

May 31st 2008 by Sou in Fun, Personal, Movies, Books, YouTube 19

I finally understand why female literature students swoon over Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I haven’t read the book yet, but instead, I watched the 2005 adaptation starring Keira Knightly. Why haven’t I read the book yet? Simple. For the last three years I’ve struggled to read […]

Sheer Boredom

May 29th 2008 by Sou in Friends, Fun, Personal, Movies, YouTube, University, French 6

My finals start on Saturday, and instead of studying I’ve been watching movies, and hanging out with my bestie Soska (she’s back from the UAE!)
Within the last week I’ve seen:
Les Poupeés russes.
An American Crime.
The Darjeeling Limited.
Catch and Release.
Monster.
Enchanted.
Alright, it’s almost 2 AM and I’m insanely tired. I’ll leave you with a video, that had […]

West Bank Story

May 23rd 2008 by Sou in Fun, Personal, Movies, Awareness, Creative, Palestine, Veoh 9

I first watched West Bank Story during the Palestinian Film Week held at Kuwait University last month, and I loved it! So basically it’s a parody of West Side Story set in, well you guessed it, the West Bank in Palestine. Oh, and ever since I found it online (stream below), I’ve watched […]

“For You, A Thousand Times Over”

May 9th 2008 by Sou in Personal, Movies, Books, YouTube 17

I watched The Kite Runner last night.
I can’t get “for you, a thousand times over” out of my head, I just can’t. Both times they were said in the movie made me tear.

Overall it was a great movie; unfortunately, I can’t really remember the exact details of the book because I read it […]

Wandâfuru Raifu

March 14th 2008 by Sou in Personal, Movies, YouTube 6

I watched ‘After Life’, a Japanese movie, last night, and it was eerie, yet very moving. No, it wasn’t a horror movie, but it was the plot and the overall concept that set off chills down my spine.
The movie is set in a structure resembling a decrepit travel lodge or social services institution. A […]

Call Me Rudolph

August 9th 2007 by Sou in Friends, Fun, Personal, Crazy, Movies, Music, Books, Photography, Mika 9

Last week was fantastic! Last week was filled with Soska-Sou adventures - that and we ate heaps of candy! It all started at Soska’s movie night. I arrived at her house only to find out that the other guests decided not to come because of a football game (Men, what else should’ve […]

Stuck in the Flypaper of Life

June 21st 2007 by Sou in Fun, Personal, Movies, Music, DailyMotion 19

December 14th 2004. That was the last time I watched ‘Sweet Charity’, one of my favourite movies of all time. Now, two and a half years later, it’s being aired on MBC2 as I type this out! The rerun is at 8am tomorrow morning, and I’m planning on getting up to watch […]

If You Never Lose…

May 3rd 2007 by Sou in Friends, Fun, Personal, Movies, Music, DailyMotion, Mika 11

…how do you know when you’ve won?
It seems that I’m still alive and kicking, so there’s no need to worry; I guess.
I can’t seem to find anything to write about, even now, whilst writing this I’m finding trouble conjuring words. It’s been a hectic few weeks and on some days I’ve lost all forms […]

Do You Mean It?

March 18th 2007 by Sou in Personal, Crazy, Movies, Music, Television, Shopping, YouTube, University, Mika, Jack Savoretti 25

To make a long story short, I’ve been food poisoned, oh joy, oh joy. Taste aversion for life when it comes to Burger King (well, except from their fries because I’m addicted). The only time I delight in a Whopper, I actually get food poisoned! grrr. I’ve never been food poisoned, which […]
