Lost In Translation

The Darjeeling Limited was awesome.
Not for everyone, I guess. But I loved it to bits. I would definitely rank it as one of my personal top three from 2007; with the other two being Mukhsin and perhaps Paris Je'taime. It was funny at all the right bits and it struck the crowd silent at all the right times too. That with the perfect cool weather and an open sky just made the whole experience much better.

Jason Schwartzman, the co-writer and star of the film made an appearance just before it began. I didn't know. Brodie did. He spoke a bit about the film (it was filmed in India for over three flippin' years!), how he thought that night at the Moonlight Cinema - being his first time in an outdoor cinema - has got to be one of the best nights of his life, and took a picture of the crowd as we waved back at him. For his family, he said. Really nice guy.

Summer's been treating me pretty well so far, surprisingly. I know it hasn't reach its peak yet in terms of the heat, but it really has been pretty relaxing so far. The coming week is my last week working at the deli before it closes for holidays. So after the 21st, I'd be really free till after conference.

My parents have also left for Malaysia already. Finally after two weeks, I'm back to sleeping on my bed. Not the couch. Yay.

Coming Monday night, let's watch Into the Wild.
Anyone?
