i finally got to see and complete watching the movie. midway through the week, i caught 30 something minutes of it, but due to the fatigue from an intensive day at work, i gave up, as it was something that was very slow, and one you had to pay great attention to every single detail. at any other time, it would have been a perfect movie for me, but not then.
after i got back from work, i went out with francesco, dawar and sandesh to have dinner in an area near buckhead. decent italian pasta. then we got back, played pool and foosball for a while and then we watched it. if they decided to watch something else, i would have come back to the room and watched it myself.
anyway, the movie's really depressing. its one of those movies where there isnt much to say about, but you feel the dense emotion of the film. can't say i didn't like it, but at the same time, it wasn't as great as what i had thought it would be.
i shall continue on my last post.
enough about my work, but now, focus on my other activities. aside from managing to catch a bit of films here and there, i now have a chance to examine a particular artist or an album while on the way to work. the time it takes between the moment i walk out of my room and reaching my workplace is roughly about 50 minutes. during that moment, i get to get ready for the day, or unwind from the day. i haven't been trying various types of music, but for a few days, listen to a particular album or artist intensely. it started with few of the orchestra-electronica fusion of juno reactor and lesiem. and then it was dido, and lately, coldplay. i have grown to like few of their songs that i never paid too much attention to. especially now that coldplay has released a much awaited new album (which i should probably go get it soon) and the fact that they will be coming down to atlanta (which i will talk about later on) made me want to listen more to them. dido, surprisingly, had a pretty complete album in 'one step too far.' i like 'life for rent' but 'one step too far' had more of the trip hop touch to it that im really drawn to.
one song that stood out out of the bunch of coldplay's songs was the title track for 'a rush of blood to the head.' the lyrics really stuck to me.
anyway, regarding the concert. the thing is, ive already bought my tickets for oasis on the 26th of september. i found out about 2 weeks ago that coldplay's coming down to atlanta. and guess when, the night right after oasis. that presented a problem in a sense that i wasnt sure if i could afford two nights of great music as i still have school to worry about. i know it right from now that there will inevitably be some major assignment or a test due sometime that week, and i'll only be giving myself a bad time if i do decide to go for both. but i don't want to give coldplay up. i missed them once when they were scheduled to perform the day after my birthday back in middle school days, and by the time i decided to buy the tickets, they were sold out (needless to say, i was gravely disappointed) so this time i really don't want to miss them. the tests and the assignments, well, its not like its a last minute notification, so im sure i can arrange it in such a way that i study or complete the work well before the concert date. so im in a dilemma, as the good tickets for coldplay has been sold off. two straight nights of brit-rock at its greatest. i cant picture it happening anytime soon, maybe one more time at the most, while im still at tech. even then, that seems unlikely.
i should make a decision on that sometime soon, before the tickets sell out. it would be a pity if i have to miss them once more.
as usual, there were many things on my mind, but just when i am blogging, they cease to come up to my mind.
i guess im turning in then. a little early from the usual friday night, but i really did a lot this week, time to get some rest.
let's see how often i can update from now on. now that the e-mail blog is set up, it should not pose too much of a problem.
