Partially Solved

May 31st 2008 by Sou in Books, Fun, Movies, Personal, 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 [...]

Clouds in My Coffee

May 30th 2008 by Sou in Blog, Crazy, Music, Personal, YouTube 13

I’m not really sure why (I’m serious, I really don’t know why), but I’ve been singing Carly Simon’s You’re So Vain out loud over the last two days.
I really don’t know what the hell’s going on in that overexerted brain of mine. I’ve mentioned my finals are starting tomorrow, right? I’m not ready [...]

Sheer Boredom

May 29th 2008 by Sou in French, Friends, Fun, Movies, Personal, University, YouTube 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 [...]

Je Vois La Vie En Violet

May 24th 2008 by Sou in Coldplay, Crazy, Creative, Music, Personal, YouTube 16

Coldplay’s latest music video of their latest single Violet Hill, from their fifth studio album Viva La Vida and All His Friends (release date: June 16th), has been released!!! I seriously can’t contain my excitement! I’ve watched the video over eight times already; tell me to stop!
Yalla, watch it!

West Bank Story

May 23rd 2008 by Sou in Awareness, Creative, Fun, Movies, Palestine, Personal, 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 [...]

Vermillion

May 20th 2008 by Sou in Books, Crazy, Friends, Music, Personal, University, YouTube 8

I’ve been having dreamless sleeps for a while now, and I can’t help but wonder what’s causing this dream-drought. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that I haven’t been feeling very well for a while. I hate this; hell, I’ve been hating a lot of things lately. [...]

A Research Paper, and Jaffa

May 17th 2008 by Sou in Awareness, Personal, University, YouTube 12

I have a research paper due in less than 24 hours, and I’m nowhere near finished, nowhere! I don’t think I can cope with the pressure resulting from this paper, I really don’t. It’s a term paper on gestures used in seven different operatic adaptations of the same play we’ve been watching in [...]

Chomp, Chomp!

Click here if you can’t watch the above embedded video.
I’ve reached the second stage, and yes, I’ll bite you in the face if I have to. Try not to piss me off until I’ve reached the fourth stage.
On a lighter note, I’ve really taken to blogging again; a few months ago this blog was [...]

Heart Of…

May 15th 2008 by Sou in Creative, French, Fun, Music, Personal, YouTube 9

So it’s a little obvious I’ve been obsessing over anything French lately, I know. Hey, whatever helps me brush up on my almost non-existent French skills!
Anyway, I was listening to yet another Françoise Hardy song, Comment Te Dire Adieu, and I absolutely loved this part:
Mon coeur de silex vite prend feu.
Ton coeur de pyrex [...]
