Films and sea lions

Okay, so after a month, I finally broke down and bought a TV and DVD player Friday. I don't get any channels right now, but I rented a crap-load of movies. Some I really enjoyed. I HIGHLY recommend 'Monsoon Wedding', and also enjoyed 'Garden State' and 'Sweet Sixteen', although the latter was a bit depressing... It is also funny that it took me a few minutes in Sweet Sixteen to realize that they were speaking English. Don't worry, there are subtitles for those of us that aren't used to true Scottish accents. I did pick it up quite a bit by the end.

I also watched Blade 3, and although I don't put it in the same category as the above films, it was exactly what I expected and wanted on Friday night. I'm quite addicted to vampire flicks anyhow.

Last, and probably least, (I really binged on movies this weekend, eh?) there was Dangerous Game. Not the worst film of all times, but didn't really do too much for me.

Surprisingly enough, I actually also mowed the grass, did SEVERAL loads of laundry (including hanging them to dry), attended a 'gypsy fair', looked around car lots and went to the coast. I was thrilled to run into Patti and Patrick (the first kiwis I met...actually, they are of the American flavor...) while walking home. They took me over to the coast, just inside the Catlins, and I saw an amazing view of sheep, ocean, sea lions, mountains and a cute lighthouse. The weather couldn't have been nicer.
