Have been having a great long weekend so far, feels like I'm emerging back out into the world after being shut away inside for too long.
Yesterday I went to the cinema for the first time in ages to see 21 with Cl. The first thing to say about this was that I really liked the soundtrack, which contained a lot of slow beats and trancesque songs and really suited the film, and is well worth checking out. The film itself does exactly what it says on the tin, ie. it's an average heist thriller complete with plenty of slick montages of Las Vegas and a thoroughly predictable twist at the end. That said I really enjoyed it, mainly because I'm one of those people on whom the novelty of going to cinema never seems to wear off, and the fact that I was there with Cl. I think there's something fundamentally pleasing about watching a film in the cinema; the epic presentation, the way it's so intimate and so communal at the same time; or maybe I'm just a guy who likes watching movies, who knows.
Today I met up with some friends that I hadn't seen in ages, A and C we'll call them for privacy's sake. Seeing old friends is a truly amazing feeling, especially when it feels as if no time has passed at all since you last spoke and you fall effortlessly back into getting on dandily. I also came into contact with a group of regular old nerd camp freaks, a body of people that once mixed in some of the same circles as me but now, thankfully, do not, and A and I were slagging and bitching about them just like old times, an experience which evoked fond memories of 2nd and 3rd year.
I feel like just saying "ahhhh......."
