Ok I'm very tired so I'll just blabber this entry and remind myself how tired I was when I read through the utter incoherent english I'm about to type.
Been watching some stuff lately. On monday I caught edi, about this guy called Edi who has a tough time in life, but manages to find simple things to keep himself happy with. He reads a lot and so is tasked to help some gangsters' sister in tuition. Ironically he's tutoring her on Romeo and Juliet and being someone who hasn't been in love before, he's mocked by the sister and is chased out. The slutty woman then have sex with the boyfriend but frames Edi so her boyfriend will be safe. The gangsters were furious and cut off Edi's balls, and when the baby was born, Edi was forced to look after it. They then proceeded to their old rural shack house far away from the city where the baby's raised, and Edi reminisces about all those times when he was playing with nature with his slightly retarded brother. And when they finally reached a stage where the baby was to be christened, the gangsters together with the real parents came by, asking for the baby back. Edi, as silent as he was when he was attacked and then handled the task of taking the baby, didn't say a word while giving the baby back. The gangsters tried to make light of the situation by offering some cash, and Edi's brother, Jurek, whom in the course of the show kept emphasising how good money was and how wonderful it will be living in a life with materalistic wants, snatched the money from the gangster's hands and threw it in their faces. Money doesn't heal pain, assholes.
And then there was 50 first dates, this dumb comedy about how a girl who doesn't have short term memory so this guy has to win her heart every single day. It's somewhat like Groundhog day where Bill Murray wakes up every morning to a new, but SAME day! And from a wet blanket point of view Adam Sandler's character didn't have to come up with new tricks everyday (like a lame kidnap or policeman) because Drew Barrymore's character wouldn't have known anyway. But that's the thing about Adam Sandler films. You get to leave your brain at home for a day off. Although I felt the portrayal of a flirtatious one day fling person in Adam Sandler's character finally managed to find a woman who can touch his heart and call out for commitment. And what a special woman she is, and he goes all out to win her despite chicks flocking for him. I wouldn't say anything more because you can still catch this show in cinemas.
In kitchen stories, the story's about this experiment on how male people orientate in the kitchen. So it began that Folke the observer visited Isak's house everyday to see what Isak does in the kitchen, and having to map out his directions and explanations in his chart and notebook while sitting on top of an umpire like armchair. At first they didn't see eye to eye but as days go by they began to talk to each other and became real friends. Isak's best friend (forgot the name) felt more and more apart from Isak and when one night when he was carrying a present and about to enter Isak's house to celebrate Isak's birthday, he found Folke still inside and thus left. Probably through anger and jealousy he then drove Folke's trailer (while FOlke was sound asleep inside) onto the train tracks, having known history that someone was killed the same way. Luckily Isak saw that and rescued Folke before a train could pass by and steamroller Folke. In the end it turns out that Isak also was observing Foke through a small peep hole which he drilled above Folke's umpire seat. This caused Folke's boss to be angered and Folke was fired. He was then supposed to ship back to Sweden, but while driving past the borders he made an U-turn for Isak's house, only to find Isak who died peacefully through sleep. The ending sees Folke taking over Isak's house and every single thing in the house reminds Folke of the beautiful times he had with this friend.
I've also finished reading the book I started (see entry below). It's really, really good. Or maybe I'm just masked by the halo effect that I think it's good because it's a 2003 whitbread award winner. It's about this autistic guy who discovers more than what he sets out to find, which was why his neighbour's dog was killed.
But seriously it's really well written in a first person narration, something which I'm trying to learn how to do. I've bought a second book, Vernon God Little, fiction in first person narration as well. I figured a man booker prize winner shouldn't be that bad. It's just a little thicker than the previous one. I'll get started soon enough.
