Shiny! Fun! Wheeeeeee!

[mooging]

Mwhahahaha! My mother wanted me to go camping - which I wasn't too happy about, to say the least. But! My wonderful fabulous beautiful amazing perfect friend called and asked me if I wanted to go and sleep over at her house - obviously I jumped at this and will go cackling over there in a mood of jubilance tomorrow instead of setting off in a deep gloom to go sleep under canvas and play cricket on the beach. Which would have been torture. And! My wonderful fabulous etc. friend is also seeing if we can go and see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Johnny Depp! So a weekend that looked set to be filled with canvas and crappy cooking and sun and outdoors and sports, is now filled with films and giggling and sweets and fun and lazyness! Hooray for Nicola! *hugs her and keeps her*

For other fun news and joy, see beyond the lj-cut thing so I don't completely clutter up this page.

We went shopping today, as I obviously had too much money. *eye rolling* And I bought that new Coldplay X&Y cd that I'd been wanting (see last entry here) and it wasn't that expensive! I also bought Lost in Space - take that you stupid crappy video shop people who laughed at me when I asked if they had it to rent and they didn't - for Gary Oldman and his pretteh little goatee thing. While I was buying that, I saw The Scarlet Letter, also with Gary Oldman and Demi Moore, but I can overlook her, and I bought that without looking at the plot because Gary Oldman looks like this in it:

Plot came after I bought it and it actually doesn't look bad, see: In 1666 in the Massachusetts Bay colony, Puritans and Algonquian have an uneasy truce. Hester arrives from England, seeking independence. Awaiting her husband, she establishes independence, fixing up a house, befriending Quakers and other outsiders. Passion draws her to a young pastor. He feels the same; when they learn her husband has probably died at the hands of Indians, they consummate their love. A child is born, and on the day Hester is publicly humiliated and made to wear a scarlet letter, her husband appears after a year with Indians. Calling himself Chillingworth, he seeks revenge, searching out Hester's lover and stirring fears of witchcraft. Will his murderous plot succeed?

You can thank the nice person from IMDB for that. It doesn't look too bad anyway. But nowhere I looked had The Piano Teacher, and I tried three shops. So I came home and ordered it! It should be here earlyish next week! Look at the shiny film buying!

I'm going to go and finish some French work now....
