"The harder I'd try to stay awake, the faster I'd fall asleep."

Last week me and a couple of buddies, as I almost never call them, got together and for some insane reason decided to watch films continuously for twenty-four hours. We started at about 10:30am, and finished roundabout 9:00am the next day. So I suppose it was more like twenty-two and a half hours, if you're feeling pedantic (I'm nearly always pedantic, but I let it slide this time seeing as all the moisture in my eyes had evaporated). We had about a last supper's worth of junk food to keep us going, consisting of Pringles, popcorn, mouth-drying sweets and the like. Anyway, I can tell you're just dying to know what films we watched, so without further ado, here is the complete list:
- Gladiator
- Forrest Gump
- Saving Private Ryan
- Kill Bill Volume 1
- Serenity
- Big Fish
- Groundhog Day
- The Shawshank Redemption
- Se7en
- National Treasure
- The Incredibles
I won't bore you with what I thought of each one. On the whole it was mighty enjoyable, though we all started snoozing (unsurprisingly) for brief periods during the last couple of films. I'd recommend it if you have the time, the patience, a comfortable sofa and an excuse to gorge yourself for a whole day.
Anyway, to wrap up this entry: Music! The last couple of weeks I have been mostly listening to:
Stumble and Fall - Razorlight
Death on the Stairs - The Libertines
Dani California - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Meet Me in the Bathroom - The Strokes
Mary - The Subways
No Use Crying - Embrace
Gotta Keep Moving - Willy Mason
'Til next time.
