Well, I had a good day today. It was the Philippines' Independence Day yesterday, but today was declared a holiday as well. My mother and I went to the movies together and watched Mr. & Mrs. Smith. I found it very amusing, and the action was good, and the unexpected twist in the plot in the near-end made it a much better experience. While I was never a fan of Angelina Jolie, I found that she looked stunning in the movie. Brad Pitt looked good, as per usual, although I never really found him all that hot. I must admit that he looked humorously attractive in white cotton boxers. I saw the trailer of The Island . . . surprisingly enough, I think that I want to watch it, despite the fact that that's not usually my kind of movie.

Afterwards, I went to Tower Records to see if Ringo's new album was out over there (more on that later) but it wasn't, so I contented myself with buying two of The Beatles' CD's. Their music in the early to mid-sixties is most appealing to me. I think that my favorite songs of theirs are (currently) I Want to Hold Your Hand, Twist and Shout, You're Going to Lose That Girl, Help!, and We Can Work It Out. I also enjoy Paperback Writer . . . and actually, I think that The Darkness would do a great cover of that song. *g*

There at Tower Records, I also bought tickets to Engelbert Humperdinck's concert this June 24th! I'm really excited to see that. I'll be going with my mum and dad, which is only fitting, as he's a singer of their generation after all.

Yes, you may have surmised that I like the oldies. *g*

I have to save up for so many things, damn it . . . I have to save money for another CD of The Beatles' that I want to buy, and for the two books/one graphic novel I mentioned in my last post. Also, I have to buy Postcards from the Boys and Choose Love, Ringo Starr's new book and new album respectively.

RINGO STARR! *whimpers*

Ahem.

Lately I've been listening to nothing but old music, particularly songs from the 60's and the 80's. *g* It's making me sentimental. I've been listening to stuff by The Beatles (as I've mentioned previously), Cliff Richard (The Young Ones, Summer Holiday, Just Don't Have the Heart . . .) . . . and What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner, (Pride) In the Name of Love by U2, Africa by Toto . . . stuff like that.

Moving on from music . . . college starts in two days, and I don't know what to feel . . . I'm nervous, eager, and indifferent all at once. Strange. Ah, well.

That's all I've to say, so . . . goodbye.
