to the fact that I have not posted in a while: our apartment was broken into and, my brand new laptop was stolen. not even a month after em and I finally got the internet connected. I am highly suspicious of any stranger that dares to even brush past me in the stairwell of our apartment block. I am still laptopless and kinda surly about it. I still have little to no access to the internet. internet gods, why do you spite me? people who email me, do so at their peril. etc. am replicating to hayley’s latest post cos I’m bored and it doesn’t require full sentences.
imdb’s current top 250- all the films I’ve seen in bold. using hayley’s system, * want to see. italics for films half seen. finis.
