when you can't hide the dark circles under your eyes at 9am it's not looking good for 5pm after a day of computer screen glare

last night dinner at prophet was so so good. all i can think about right now is hummus. and maybe one miss brown who was a little protective of that dish. scarily so.

saw the happening on the weekend finally. was kind of a strange movie. on one hand it's a far fetched premise, although on the other hand i was talking to vicky last night about how we are living in the time where effects of global warming are becoming increasingly apparent and that made me think more about the movie and the fact that as 'far fetched' as the concept is it's a really nice parallel that the writers have put together. zooey deschanel is great, she has that semi ethereal quality that the leading ladies in these movies seem to have - mainly howard jnr. mark wahlberg feels really strangely cast though. this isn't a dismissive comment on the grounds of him not being a good enough actor because i think people are far to quick to think rockstar and the funky bunch and forget about boogie nights, the yards, the departed (oscar nominated?), we own the night and even stuff like fear. so while i do think he's a solid actor i do think he seemed so out of place with the dialogue of the movie. during the pharmacy stuff i kept thinking edward norton, it should be edward norton.

so the movie wasn't as scary as i thought it would be and the foot cam was a bit much in that one scene, but the general quietness of the death scenes was great. and mrs jones...that admittedly was freakin terrifying. the little girl in it was really good too, i actually didn't realise she doesn't speak until that one line when she did - i think that whole concept of silent actors is something that's hard to do well but she was really good and so young too!

i can't decide what i thought of the ending. i like the reporter comments and i think the standing on the stoop stuff is cute - not in a cheesy way but mainly because of how cute zooey deschanel is it just seems really sweet, but the repeat thing was maybe not quite right? but i have no idea how else you could do it so i'm thinking as i have no alternative suggestions i should just shut up.
