some days i just sit around and think about ray liotta. and how one time he was in an awesome movie called corrina, corrina. the one with whoopie goldberg and the ever delightful tina majorino. i say she's ever delightful because it is true. one glance at napoleon dynamite and you'd be with me.

anyway tina majorino is the link in this chain. because she has been on big love. and so has amanda sayfried. and amanda sayfried is in the best movie since high school musical hit the small screen....

mamma mia.

basically you should see it. because it is awesome (10/10). but if i have to make the appeal that bit sweeter i'd say pierce brosnan pulls off the white pant look and plays his role with conviction. and colin firth gets his kit off. sort of. amanda sayfried though, is bland and maybe 12 years old. plus she's offended the gays. to quote someone quoted on imdb " A source tells the publication, "Outrageous! How can (Seyfried) diss (disrespect) the gays like that? This is our movie!"". tut tut.

i saw it at the embassy. where i nearly got a nose bleed from the shitty seats even though almost noone was there. then i ate pizza at one red dog (the place never changes, 6.5/10)and caught and environmentally taxi home. great night out. i wonder what ray liotta was doing tonight? is he in a csi spinoff yet. that man was MADE for that kind of role.

i'm so freakin' in to the ukelele right now.

and this picture is proof*. although the biggest proof is that i go to youtube each night before i even check my emails so that i can watch karaoke style ukelele lessons. but it is making me handicapped, mostly because i have lost all feeling in my index finger. i only "know" three chords and my index finger is key to all three.

when i finally can play white sandy beach (of hawaii) on the uke i'm so posting a video. it will be a personal triumph. and then it will become the most watched ukelele video on the internet and i will be so happy.

speaking of happy, i went to a comedy act last night. apart from how i basically went to high school with the comedian (well, the comedian was a boy and i went to a girls school so 'with' is kind of stretching it) it had some excellent moments. and some moments where i was like 'jokes about getting baked aren't that funny'. basically, he was no adam sandler. but then, the tickets were free and two twelve year old boys gave up their seats for us when we walked in cos obviously i'm so old. 7/10.

and, while i'm wearing a reviewers hat, tonight i saw st trinians at the movies. hilarious and unhilarious in equal measure. but i want to marry colin firth so much it hurts. seriously. like i spent about 15 minutes in actual pain when i was thinking about how we may never meet. this - the meeting - is of course the only hurdle. because once we make eye contact it is ALL ON. 7/10 for movie, 12/10 for colin, 1/10 for my relationship with colin.

one final review: the weather. what the? i got stuck in the rain tonight in cuba mall. huddled under a shop awning. my brand new wool suit was soaked. but no sign of damage. unlike my hair. but of course that is partially my own fault for lack of care in the first place. the only plus side i can see, apart from how it will be like AWESOME to put out wet recycling tomorrow morning in the dark, is that tonight the dulcet tones of rain on corrugated iron will likely put me straight to sleep. which is essential because i've just had a shot of turkish coffee and a piece of baklava. i'm basically baked. 4/10.

*although it is actually not proof at all, because in this picture i'm ukelele synching. ie: not actually playing.
