Call me irresponsible...
but I have a major crush on Michael Bublé.
Everything - Michael BubléHe has such a beautiful voice. If he didn't already have a girlfriend I would probably fly to America to hunt him down. Do you think he'd want to marry royalty? I know some guys would have a problem with that, but he sounds so laid back and...cool.
Anyway, enough with the weirdo fan-girl stalker-ness. In literature, we finished watching the 1996 Kenneth Branagh version of Hamlet. I cried at Ophelia's burial because Hamlet didn't know she was dead. The look on Hamlet's (Kenneth Brannagh's) face when he found out was just so grief-stricken that I started to cry for him. I cried for Ophelia (Kate Winslet) because she was so misunderstood and after Hamlet confronted her, everything spiraled out of control, culminating in her suicide.
Tara didn't even cry, so either I'm getting emotional or Tara has toughened up :P. I actually quite liked it. It was an unabridged version of Shakespeare's Hamlet so it was quite long. Very rarely do you find a film so faithful to the original text. It was a very strange feeling to have the play in my hands and know what each actor was going to say next. There were cameos from Billy Crystal (Gravedigger) and Robin Williams (Osric). Their American accents stood out amongst all the English accents though.
I had an unexpected 6th period free so Ying, Tara, Ashwyn and I went to Box Hill. Tara and Ashwyn ditched us so Ying and I did our own thing. I went book hunting, there's only TWO bookshops in Box Hill! You think what? Chinese people aren't educated enough to read? Just kidding. I was looking for Twilight and New Moon by Stephanie Meyer. Ying helped me ask the man at Books r us if he had any of those in stock. He was very nice and gave us a bit of background detail and told us when they would be coming in (June 1st). I know, I know, Twilight is almost a children's book, that doesn't render it any less intelligent! I still love Edward and Bella :)
I bought a new beanie and scarf today! I'm rugging up and preparing for a long, bitter, cold and rainy winter. Obviously, you probably won't get to see me wear the beanie in public but I'll put it to good use in my house. I dragged Ying to Target to look at this uber-cute (and warm looking) bed socks I found when I was doing Mother's day shopping. Yeah, I fall in love with weird things. I want a pair of those uber cute bed socks now.
I was sent the photo I wanted from Saturday night. I had already washed off all my makeup though (except for the bits I missed). Tara's wig is lovely, what do YOU think?
You think I'm sexy don't you? HAHAHA
Oh well, there's no accounting for taste :P
With love,
Mel
