Go Speed Racer, Go!
A movie, A queue and An Animal Doodle

Today, against the advice of nearly every single person I asked, I watched… Speed Racer. :D I chose it based purely on its “look”. And because I went with very low expectations, I enjoyed the movie more than I thought I would. [Read more....]

Entertain Me

Hello again. Are you feeling bored?
Here’s a short list of websites I visit to get my dose of entertainment:

Giant Step - is where I go to discover new artists. There are a lot of high-quality music tracks that you could listen for free here.

BBC Music - Informative site with a comprehensive guide to music.

Rotten Tomatoes - I wouldn’t watch a movie before checking out its Rotten Tomatoes rating.

Readprint - If you’re like me and like to seek entertainment within the pages of a book(or rather webpages of the internet) this website will be great for you. There’s a massive collection of classics that you can read online like Pride and Prejudice, The Animal Farm and the best of Shakespeare.

Youtube - But of course! I could waste hours jumping from one mindless video to another. It’s the best thing since sliced bread!

I am bored - The names says it all. Links to stuff to do when you are bored.

Nitrome - The cutest pixel games on the net. Warning: Be prepared to waste hours on this website.

Desert Island Entertainment

Desert Island Tuesday is inspired by Desert Island Discs. I imagine myself a castaway on a desert island and am allowed to have a few items with me, based on the theme for the week. This week theme is Entertainment.

Hello again from a warm, tropical island! I’ve been eating a lot of make-believe fish and rice the past week. The monkeys have been entertaining me with their silly tricks but I think I’m getting tired of the same routine. Luckily this week’s Entertainment week so I’m allowed to order a couple of discs online. My top 3 music albums and movies are listed below. Enjoy!

Albums

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles - Quintessential album with everything - catchy positivity(It’s Getting Better) and epic masterpiece (A Day in the Life)

The Great Escape by Blur - Full of happy tunes and sweet memories of my teen years

Life in Cartoon Motion by Mika - Love Today! Lollipop! Relax! Happy Ending! You can’t go wrong with this.

Movies

Amélie - Beautiful, triumphant, quirky, special, funny, charming. A feel-good movie I could just watch over and over again.

Lost in Translation - Loneliness. Strangers. Foreign country. Kinda like being on a desert island.

Labyrinth - David Bowie dancing his magic dance…in tights. INSTANT WIN?!!
