The weekend was great, or so I think. Caught a movie entitled Casino Royale and then music as well. Then end of my first week at work was somewhat on the rising side, where work is a bit more apparent rather than hidden under the sheets. That’s a good sign for me.
Casino Royale was in a way a great movie, but then when I think back of all the kissing and making out scenes in the movie, it made me want to just throw stinky eggs at the either the censorship board or the cinema management. I know it’s a U rated movie for all and of coz I see that there was great family moments where you can see the whole family from toddlers and parents up to grandparents there watching the movie. However I still feel cheated as the film seems to have a big flaw whenever the inconsistency flashed before my eyes. Another problem was sitting in between two family circuses as my friend puts it. These are reasons why cinema does not appeal to me that much other than the big screen and the company.
Alright, a little bit more about Casino Royale. No spoilers though. The thing about this movie is that it’s so different from the previous bond movies and its James Bond movie for you. All I can say it that, there movie is twisted and you will not really be able to anticipate the story line or even if you do, you are most likely to get it wrong in the end, so why do it. The hunk of coz has great eyes, but then to me he does not portray the exquisite bond face heritage. The women are as always charming and beautiful. That’s it from me, so if you want to know more, go and watch it. The medium is up to you, be it DVD or the cinema.
Alexis of coz is not strange place for me and I caught the same gig twice this week, the same place and the same performer. It’s none other than Farid Ali and he plays the gambus. It’s a traditional instrument of our heritage here and his is a custom made one for him. I noticed his name etched on his gambus. I totally enjoyed both nights with music from his strumming fingers and vocals of the band which comprises of Farid Ali on gambus, guitar and vocals, Albert on guitar and vocals, Andy Peterson on Bass and Bada on percussions and vocals.
On a side note… I have been real off the whole weekend. I have been hot tempered and annoyed at a number of things. Don’t bother asking why as I don’t even know why. But the small little things here and there made me feel infuriated, though I know I should not. This week will be better no doubt, but then my heart’s not feeling so good.
You would have noticed that I’ve not been around for a while and the gig was short written. I might be away for a while, might.
