Mmhmm, so now that midterms are basically over, the laziness and apathy have come back FULL FORCE! Yay.

Anyway, just a very, very brief update:

  • I’m going on an Intervarsity retreat on Oct. 31st until November 2nd! -does a jig-
  • Seriously, seriously can’t wait until November rolls around and NaNoWriMo kicks off. Those quiet moments before I drift off to sleep in the wee hours of the morning have become almost unbearable since my characters have been jibber-jabbering in my head. I’m totally armed with a notebook and pen for the ride home from the retreat.
  • I decided to celebrate for my return to procrastination by making a spiffy new banner for tabula rasa (points up there). It features one of Bernini’s angels.
  • ROBERT LANGDON (if you don’t know who he is then shame on you!) will be back for more controversial religious action in 2009 with the film adaptation of Angels and Demons. Yippiee! Looks to be a great cast with Tom Hanks back as Robert and Ewan McGregor thrown into the mix! Even the woman who plays Vittoria seems very fitting for the role.

^ Is that not the COOLEST movie poster you’ve ever seen? Ah, so simple yet the contrast creates such an impact.

Now this post (plus the new blog banner) hints at the topic of my upcoming NaNoNovel. Yup, I bet all you smart people out there know what I’m going to write about…

HAWT UPCOMING MOVIE TRAILERS! Saturday, October 11, 2008

First up, the much anticipated and much publicized Twilight trailer:

Personal Opinion: I think both Twilight and this trailer are CHEESY, but hey, if beautiful pale people and awkward, clichéd dialogues are your thang then by all means go watch this movie.

Next, the Confessions of a Shopaholic trailer:

Personal opinion: I’m crossing my fingers that it’ll be as entertaining and quirky as the books. But I must say, they made a good call choosing Hugh Dancy as Luke! Yum.

Aaaaaand the action movie I’ve been dying to see since I’ve heard about it, The International:

Personal Opinion: AHHHHH CLIVE OWEN CLIVE OWEN!!! -flails- He was WONDERFUL as Sir Walter Raleigh in Elizabeth: The Golden Age and disturbingly amusing in Shoot ‘Em Up, so I’m hoping he’ll be just as superb in this movie. It’s going to be released around my birthday, too! Yay, birthday plans!

Finally, I shall leave you with the James Bond: Quantum of Solace trailer:

Personal Opinion: Now I don’t know about you, but Daniel Craig is starting to grow on me. Oh, and Gemma Arterton (Lost in Austen, Tess of the d’Urbervilles–yes, I know I watch a lot of British television dramas, so sue me) will be in this one, so that’s bound to be interesting.

Oh snap, would you look at that! A cheesy teen phenomenon, a chick flick, and two action movies. There’s something for everyone.
