tentang Things You Can Do At The Cinema

well.. other than watching movies that is.

i got free tix for the movie The A-Team last week. pretty exciting since i rarely ever get anything for free. wonder if it is the luck of June, the month i turn a year older. anyway, the tickets say "Valid at participating South Australia Cinemas only". so yeah i went online and checked out which cinema and what time and when we'll be using those tix. we decided to go next weekend ^_^

yays!

but when i was checking out the website for Hoyts Cinema, i came across this.

that's Live World Cup matches in the cinema.. on the massive cinema screen, in 3D!!! whoa i'm not a huge fan of football (or any other sports anymore), but i would absolutely go at least once. why not? and say if the tickets for the group matches and for final match costs the same.. why not go and watch live football in 3D at the cinemas? once in every 4 years experience.. even at 4am in the morning i'd go if it doesn't cost a fortune. it would be insanely cool

unfortunately not all Hoyts Cinemas have this live world cup matches. and none in adelaide. but i guess even if they have it here it is unlikely that i'd go. none of the people i know here is a 'kaki bola'. so, no point watching football if you have nobody to share the fun with


and yesterday i was walking past our local tiny Gawler Village Twin Cinema and there was this poster.

'True Cinematic Gaming'

what is it? it just a gathering of console gamers who meet every fortnight at the cinema and hang out.. have fun.. play video games on the massive cinema screen! hell yeah. there will be (or so they say) competitions and prizes to be won. and they are actually sponsored by pretty big companies too. so, not bad at all.

the first ever event was last week, on the 7th of June. i didn't know of it till yesterday so i missed that one. but i'm planning, and really looking forward to join them next week. this one, i hope, will be epic!

so gamers in SA, if you guys are interested, more info is available at True Cinematic Gaming's Facebook page.

tentang Cooler Than Me

there are 2 things that im getting sick of hearing on tv now. one.. that Israeli attack/self-defence issue and the interview of Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner on aussie tv. the first issue just spawns so much negativity that i think even talking of it is poison.. and the latter is just ridiculous. i like the twilight saga, both book and movie.. but that much hype and how kids look at them like they are gods.. is a little too disgusting. no im not jealous

so anyway .. there is a song i want to share. don't know if the radio back home has started playing this song or not.. but i just thought i'd share. first heard it on Ellen Show.. a performance by Joseph Vincent (the video below the original one). the original song is by Mike Posner


'Cooler Than Me' - Mike Posner
(with lyrics)





'Cooler Than Me' Cover - Joseph Vincent
on The Ellen DeGeneres Show
(the song starts at 1:01)





love the song because it sounds so cool.. and i love the cover even more actually. the acoustics guitar makes it song even cooler. that is epic

tentang June and Winter

it is june! which means 2010 is almost half way huh? i'm having the feeling that time, somehow, managed to go by very quickly this year. sigh

anyhow, the beginning of june is also mark the starting of winter here in the southern hemisphere. i love cold weather, but..

without proper heating, winter is almost painful. the first 2 years living in Roseworthy, we had proper (although not so well positioned) heating/cooling system in that house. but this year we've moved to a smaller house, closer to town. cheaper but it did not have proper heating. and when it gets cold, it is almost painful

yeah.. it only gets down to 6-10 °C but it is still cold.

winter here in adelaide is cold and wet. this year there have been more rain that past 2 years i think. and the sky is always cloudy reminding me of that town of Cork in that vampire movie. i wonder if vamps would come out and roam the roads of gawler during winter. they're probably a lot less scary than drunken hobos that talk to themselves (although sometimes they look like they are in packs) and shout at everything. and all that is during the day

yeah im just ranting.. :D. will continue on my 3D after lunch!
and oh BTW i managed to gain 2kg since beginning that home-fitness-video-game-thing called Wii ^_^
