12 days to exam

12 days to exams. Or to holidays. Whichever way you look at it. I've been a little distracted lately, looking for a house around Noble Park which is reasonably near a few hospitals. It was just impossible to find in Clayton, but Noble Park was a different story! The bf and I saw 5 houses today in the area. 4 of which were brand new. We've sorta decided on one of them =)

Hope this works out.

Recently watched: The Notebook, Taken, Forgetting Sarah Marshall

The Notebook
Beautiful, BEAUTIFUL story. The first hr was a little yawn-inducing, but we got through it (helped by the knowledge that it did win MTV's Best Kiss award 2005). It was worth it. The idea that a man can love his Alzheimer-stricken wife so much as to move into a nursing home with her when he himself was perfectly healthy, be introduced to her every morning like a stranger, and retell to her the amazing tale of their love day after day, in the hope that it would induce even 5mins of lucidity in her...now THAT is love.

Taken
A tale of serendipity really. Ex-CIA agent's daughter gets kidnapped by a mafia ring specializing in prostitution and he has 96 hrs to find her, if ever. Quite a well thought out movie.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall
I hate slapstick humor, thought that Superbad was SUPERBAD and that 'I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry' was SUPERBAD too. But I loved this. It was refreshing to see Kristen Bell as a Hollywood hottie like she really is, and not as a sadistic, morbid bitch who's busy throwing balls of electricity at people (think Elle in Heroes; the sadistic bit was quite a turn on though, but sadly we don't see it in Season 5).

Currently watching: Gossip Girls, Private Practice

Gossip Girls
TRASH. Except the clothes. Those are to die for. And perhaps more affordable than the Sex & The City garbs.

Private Practice
Very entertaining medical drama which explores various ethical issues pertaining to medical practice, as well as the sex lives of the doctors. So Grey's Anatomy = surgery + sex, Private Practice = medical ethics + sex. Creator Shonda Rhimes, the only other person the 2 shows have in common other than Dr. Addison Montgomery, seems to have gone Ctrl C + Ctrl V and tada.....new series!
