spent the monday just resting, after coming back from watching the euro 2004 final at a neighbour's place. came back about 5AM plus, and i had to do quite a bit of important admin stuff by waking up at 8AM, but since i find it so hard to sleep, i didnt get enough rest, and was feeling so freaking messed up for the rest of the day.
honestly, i am actually furious and disappointed with the result, purely because the greeks won in a way that isnt reflective of what football is about. but as the saying goes, the best defence is the best offence, they cleared proved that right. knocking off the defending champs, france, and then dismissing the clear faves for this yr, the czechs and finishing off by winning against the hosts, again, i guess greece had all the elements to win. but i am no advocate for boring football. i really hoped that figo and rui costa would have gotten the championship that they so deserved, but that's how it goes, nothing can be changed now. so welcome greece, the 2004 european champions.
so yeah, it was very tiring, woke up, quick breakfast and went to the bank to retrive quite a sum of money and then transferring by hand to another nearby bank. i know, i know, you can do that all electronically, but we needed it to be done immediately, as in right before our eyes, instead of the computer telling you that the transaction is complete, but actually is still in the process of being handled and administrated. for reasons that i cant reveal, this had to be done, not for me though. after that, mom needed to get stuff from clementi, i had to help her carry things, so i had to go, no matter how sleepless i was. so by the time everything was done and i was back home, it was already noon. i couldnt go to sleep, it would just distort my biological clock, so tried to make do by watching the dvds i rented. i started off with an argentinian film named 'El Hijo de la Novia' (Son of The Bride) which was pretty interesting, but a little draggy at times. but it was a feel good kinda film ultimately, makes you re-evaluate your current position in life and all. and then my brother and dad both wanted to watch 'The Bourne Identity' right then, so i couldnt say no, plus, i badly wanted to catch the show. I was proved that it was a mistake for me that i didnt catch this in the theatres when i was reading the book, because this version is very different from the book. the book was written in the early '80s, but this version was set in a very modern time, which brought a sparkling side to the story. i know there is an older version of the same movie, and now i feel like trying that one out, coz i know that it will not be the same compared to this.
i cant wait for the sequel, the bourne supremacy to come out, which will inevitably lead to the third part, the bourne ultimatum.
i rested for a while after helping dad out with a couple of things, and then decided to watch dogville, but found out it was somewhat uncompatible with my dvd player, so i watched 'A la Folie Pas Du Tout' again. yeah, i liked the movie enought to watch it all over, even though i knew what was gonna happen. and i could ogle at Andrey Tautou all over too.
after that, i was back to sleep, after what seemed like a pretty long day with my brain in hyperdrive.
