McDavitt told us he's leaving because his wife got a job at Newcastle. That kind of sucks, he was a good teacher even though he never marked our essays. Anywhoozies we got him a mug that says "World's Laziest Teacher" and a mullet wig.
Boy the look of disappointment on his face. I heard he cried with his extension class... he seriously hates our class. Oh well, at least we get Arblaster full time now.
Sorry it's blurry. I couldn't stop laughing and he didn't want anymore photos.
Also, I forgot to talk about the Despicable Me 2 trailer! I love it, the minions are so cute and it's hilarious!
Ugh, the adorableness I can't handle!
So anyway, it was Easter and I decided to make hot cross buns!
And yes, I put chocolate in instead of sultanas and dried peel and all the other disgusting stuff that is typical in hot cross buns.
Oh I also watched some movies!
CHILDREN OF MEN:
THE PLOTLINE: In the slightly near future, the world is ridden of children because women have gone infertile. The youngest human on the planet, 18 years old and something months and days has been shot and everyone gets all worried. Then comes along some woman who is pregnant and she needs to be taken to a safe place so scientists can stick probes in her and see how she managed to get pregnant and possibly cure infertility.
THE MOVIE: This movie is amazingly directed. The scenes and props were created so well, it looked so realistic. The camerawork was crazy, there were so many one-take scenes that lasted a few minutes long. It did a good job in drawing you in, it was insanely intense. The story line is good too even though it was based off a book and the acting was good.
THE VERDICT: This movie has to be watched.
------
NO STRINGS ATTACHED:
THE PLOTLINE: These two people who have met sporadically before during high school and college bump into each other yet again as adults. After a hectic episode of drinking and long shifts at the hospital, they end up having sex without the intimacy of a relationship- purely for pleasure and a break from the chaos of work and reality
THE MOVIE: This is quite funny, as you would expect a film with this story line would be. I don't really know what to say, you can kind of guess what happens (they fall in love and then start to worry about what they are doing). It's extremely similar to "Friends with Benefits" but I haven't seen that so I can't really compare this. Roger Ebert says "Friends with Benefits" is better. I did cry at one point of the movie though, but I cry at everything.
THE VERDICT: Watch it if you're not in the mood for a serious film and just want some casual laughs from a movie you'll probably never watch again.
------
THE LORAX:
THE PLOTLINE: It is the future and there are no living things around anywhere! All the trees and plants in this town are balloons, robots or devices for a random disco ball to pop up out of nowhere. Anyway, this boy wants to impress the love of his life and seeks out how to find a living tree to give to her because she loves trees getting her a tree automatically seals her affection for you. The only way to find out about trees is to visit the Once-ler, which the boy does. The Once-ler tells the story about his youth and the story of the Lorax and how the trees disappeared.
THE MOVIE: Ahh, well it IS a Dr. Seuss story so I can't say anything bad about it. The animation was good, the animals were so adorable and the storyline was good too. I think it was done quite well, I mean it IS aimed at like 2-year-olds so yeah. I supposed I would have liked a bit more narration and a bit more rhyming couplets thrown in everywhere but it was still very good.
THE VERDICT: It's quite good, but I'm not forcing you to watch it.
After watching the Lorax, Joyce, Pamela, Ying Ying, Alice and I had a day out at the city. We had the most ridiculously expensive yum cha at... I forgot where but it was so expensive. One serving of 4 har gow was like $7.50 (it was considered extra large). That was ridiculous. We ended up getting 3 things and it was like $34 (including tea which cost i think $2.50).
Anyway, after that Joyce and I went to the Titanic Exhibition at the Maritime Museum. It was only $7! But as I expected, it was that cheap because it was so small! They had so many cool model ships, I fell in love. On display was also some of the costumes in the film, some newspaper articles on the Titanic, all the names of the people on board, some artifacts they found, a few videos/documentaries that were too boring to watch and a 'Behind the Scenes' that anyone could probably just watch on youtube.
I took a lot of photos so I can't be bothered sifting through them and putting the good ones here; I'll do that next time I promise.
Hmm, what else has been happening. Not much actually. The title implies I have some sort of life but I actually have been studying- I finished reading through and making Chem of Art notes (by the way Ace HSC is offering Baulko students free Chem of Art courses this year - if you want more information ask me and I'll send you the email), I am nearly finished with From Ideas to Implementations (just need the last section), I started Motion but i didn't understand what was going on so I stopped after simple harmonic motion and I'm doing Binomial Theorem right now.
To help me not stress out so much I started watching Community (already up to the third season). Originally I was going to watch Game of Thrones but after the first episode I was like, "Okay no. This sucks". Seriously, it's so weird and bizarre. Too much talking politics and not enough action. I mean it is semi-interesting, a little part inside of me wants to know what happens to all the characters but the other part is telling me that it's way too weird for me to find out.
But anyway yes, I love Community it's hilarious.
And I think that is all I have to say.
