It’s a modern-day adaptation of Dante Alighieri’s epic poem (and I’m a self-confessed fangirl of La Divina Commedia, so there). :)

I think it would take me a miracle to find a copy of this here in my country, though. Sigh.

However, something happened yesterday that might just change my luck: I saw a man in a mall reading Burning City. Oy! I wish I knew where he had found that! Inferno might just be around the corner as well!

The Rule of Four is not anything at all like a Dan Brown novel. It’s… how do I say this… more introspective? Less sensationalized? Deeper? Whatever. It’s an interesting read, but I hope for Pete’s sake people would stop comparing it to The Da Vinci Code!

I discovered just recently that Hot Fuss was released on my birthday. (It was released on an earlier date in some countries, but what the hell, I’ll go with what Amazon.com says.) That, and the fact that the first track on this album has my name on it, just go to show that Brandon Flowers and I are meant for each other. HAHAHAhaha..ha…ha. (crickets)

I must be one of the very few in the world who like statement shirts. Here’s one of mine.

Tropic Thunder: Filled with blood, spit, guts, chest hair, Jack Black in briefs, Tom Cruise and other disgusting stuff. I luv it!

(Plus it’s got Robert Downey Jr., so what’s not to like?)

How about a game of “Find Stan Lee”?

Yesterday, I went to see Iron Man merely on a whim—I just happened to be at a mall killing some time when I saw the posters for this movie. Before that, I didn’t know almost anything about the character; I wasn’t one of those people who were eagerly waiting for its release. So I went inside the theater with little expectations.

It didn’t disappoint. The movie rocked! I’m not into comics so I don’t know if the story stayed true to canon, but it sure didn’t leave me in the dark. There were parts that dragged (it was the same parts that made me go, “Come on wear the suit already!”) but the action sequences made up for them. I initially had doubts over Robert Downey Jr. donning a superhero suit, but he did great actually as the egotistical Tony Stark (the role seemed to be custom-fit for him, heheh). He and Gwyneth Paltrow had such great chemistry on screen, it kinda made me feel sorry that I had to miss their dance scene only because I had to go pee! Oh, and I loved the soundtrack!

I’m just not sure though if this film is alright for little kids to see. There were scenes in it that made me want to put my hands over the four-year-old boy sitting beside me. Adults, however, are going to have a fun time watching this.

Here’s a tip for those who are planning to see Iron Man: Stay in your seats up until the end of the credits. ;)

I’m so addicted to this stuff! I’ve been advised by my doctor to cut down on tea (and coffee) since I have stomach problems, but I’m afraid that if I quit drinking milk tea cold-turkey, I’ll have serious withdrawal issues… :p

I think I may have fallen in love with Jim Carrey after watching this movie. I hated Jim Carrey, damn it.
