Unfocused...

This post has naaah-thing to do with RENU contact lens solution

Although yes, you may be "unfocused" if you're a user of above-mentioned product.

------------------------------

I'm unfocused because...

so many things to say...

don't know where to start.

------------------------------

I have a book to recommend.

Yes, AGAIN.

I go through so many books that I don't really remember all that I read.

A lot of them are forgettable.

But "Tales from a Borrowed Childhood"

by Miles Kington is an absolute gem.

It's supposedly a biography.

But it's not.

The book is made up of anecdotes from his childhood

and I love it because it's so rolling-on-the-floor funny!

Excerpts:

"Spilt milk is spilt yoghurt in the morning"

"You can take a horse to water, but it's easier to take a bucket to the stable"

"Beware of old ladies in queues, for they start out behind you and end up in front of you"

"There is no point offending an enemy. He is offended already. You would be better off offending a friend"

If you enjoy British humour (witty, caustic)

you absolutely have to read this!!!

*Not very good idea to read this on public transport. You'll just end up looking a bit cranky when you start laughing loudly suddenly.*

The last 4 movies I watched (in 3 days!) are:

L'Âge d'or (1930) - "Age of Gold" (French)

Swimming Pool (2003)

Der Himmel über Berlin (1987) - "Wings of Desire" (German)

*Don't look at the title and think it's pornography! It's not! It's about an angel that falls in love with a mortal.*

1900 (1976)

From watching these movies, I realised a trend.

Language does not affect my understanding of the films.

Colour, however, apparently does.

I have difficulty understanding films that are black and white.

It's even worse if a film is black and white with only music in the background.

NO DIALOGUE.

THAT is completely beyond me.

I can only understand films that have COLOUR

and where the characters actually TALK TO EACH OTHER.

Got the grades back for my assignments last semester!

2 assignments that make up a grade for 1 module.

Bonus: It's a "double" module which means the same grade counts TWICE into the classification of the degree (first class, 2nd upper etc etc).

So if you get a good grade, that's great! Because it means you actually get TWO good grades.

And if you get a bad grade, you're scr*wed. Twice.
