I think the relative word here is “wow”! I didn’t know anything about the movie before watching it, so everything was unexpected. Firstly, it is shot from a first-person perspective, which takes a bit of getting used to. But once you’re in-tune with the up and down motion you’re set! I’d have to admit that for most of the movie I had very little clue of what was happening, and even at the end I was left with questions. I guess I will have to just watch it again!

Basically, the story is about 5 young New-Yorkers attending a going-away party when some kind of a monster attacks the city. The movie is their documentation of the event – and I would have to say that it is extremely well done!

Of course, the things that helped the movie along were simple: friends and food! It’s never the same on your own…

So go and watch Cloverfield as soon as you can!

Saturday

All I can say is: ‘Hooray for the weekend!’ For a change I have absolutely nothing planned for this weekend. My intentions are simple: relax and enjoy myself. With a plan like that there is always the possibility of becoming completely bored, but I will just have to deal with that eventuality.

I am supposed to be in Jo’burg visiting Achsah, but unfortunately it didn’t work out – sorry Ach! I would still love to be there, but there seem to be too many things making that impossible. I guess I will have to make it up to her sometime!

So if you see this post and think it would be good to invite me around for lunch, or supper, or afternoon coffee and cake – the answer is yes, I would love to come and eat your food!

Birthday parties everywhere!

Well, I had a weekend choc-full of birthday parties! Three, to be exact! Yesterday was Cameron‘s first party, last night was Lorna‘s 20th, and today was Catherine‘s 31st. Shew! I’ve been terribly well-fed!

I do love socialising, so this has been an absolutely fantastic weekend with both of my loves: friends and food!

And if you’re curious to see what happened at the parties, then head over to gallery.kungpow.org and have a squiz! I’ve also uploaded a stack of other pictures that I’ve taken, so look around and experience a glimpse of what it’s like to be Dillon!

No April Fool!

Guess what? Jessica had a birthday! And cake…

I was lucky enough to be there to celebrate and help eat the cake! I had a lovely time, and I believe, so did Jess. She was spoiled as everyone should be on their birthday. In the picture you can see her opening presents.

Achsah, Caitlin and I also decided that we should start a 12th of October club – so anyone else who is born on that day let me know!

I think everyone enjoyed themselves! I managed to fight off several attempts to wrestle me to the ground. Shew!

Thanks, Jess!
