Re: American Horror Story; Oh, the horror.

I really quite enjoyed this pilot! I liked that it wasn't predictable, so many of the new shows have just been so simplified for stupid audiences, it annoys me! Person of Interest should be much better than it has been too. I'll stick with American Horror Story for a while, it has me curious :)

Re: Thoughts on X Files s1: a rewatch review

Rellacafa — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 20:45:31 -0000

Hehe, my strongest memorie of The X-Files isn't actually from the show. It's the time I went with a couple of friends to see Gillian Anderson at Southland (man, we were so awesome). We were near the front and it was so packed, when she finally came out the crowd surged forward and I got crushed! My feet were off the ground and I was just being suspended between other people. I must have been screaming because eventually a security guard pulled me over the barrier and out. Very dramatic! One of my friends did get to get a photo and autograph, so it wasn't a total loss ;P

Re: People are f#&%*ing insensitive about illness. Plus: a question

I absolutely despise people who think that anyone with a food allergy is just weak and deluded. Too many members of the public, who are lucky enough not to have dietary restrictions, assume that a rise in diagnosis of gluten and dairy intolerances in recent years is some sort of joke. I know that I never asked to be allergic to dairy, but the amount of smart comments that I've received when asking for soy in my coffee is ridiculous. I am so glad that the people working in the establishment that you wrote about were nice and receptive, I have encountered a lot more prejudice from snobbish baristas than other customers. My favourite response is usually to gross them out with something like "Ok then, I'll have regular milk and then in about half an hour I'll come back and you can enjoy watching what comes out of me", followed by a sweet smile.

WOW, that is a lot of make up! Good luck on using some of it up! I recently threw out everything in my make up bag that was old or hadn't been used in as long as I could remember...it was a very satisfying cleanse :)

Hi Diana, I also love the way that people in the online community cheer me on when I am having a good day, I just never know when one of those might come around again! My post is a little late, but it is finally up nonetheless ;)

Re: An evening with Joss Whedon..

Rellacafa — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 20:57:33 -0000

It was such an excellent night! Thanks for the more acute memory of quotes from the night, I tend to get all general with memories and forget specific things that were said, so ta!!

I think I shall be living on this high for some time, not only having basked in the glory of "GOD", but also in the awesome real life presence of you! Some nights are just better than others ;D xx

Re: I Might Look Good But I Feel Horrible | Somebody Heal Me

Rellacafa — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 20:36:41 -0000

This is something that I struggled a lot with when I first developed CRPS. You are right though, you have to find a way to deal with it or else go nuts, as the comments from people who just don't really know any better (lucky them) aren't going to stop. I used to be really annoyed, but after a while I started to take it as a compliment that I looked well even if I was feeling poorly. Nowadays I like to look normal, when I'm around friends that understand my condition and so are careful with me standing too long and what not, looking normal helps me to get swept up and have a good time. I can't escape the pain, but I can pretend it's not there for a couple of hours. I am finding the more I pretended, the more it started to feel real and now I am actually capable of having a good time again!

Ooh, sounds interesting! Adding to my quickflix list :)

Re: I’ve Never Seen… Casablanca

Rellacafa — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 22:38:02 -0000

I think Casablanca is incredibly overrated...especially after my year 12 drama teacher decided to use the screenplay for our year 12 school theatre production!

Note: Casablanca is even less interesting on stage.

Re: Alicia Malone’s Guilty Pleasures

Rellacafa — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 22:26:09 -0000

I'm getting here late, but had to comment! Bring It On, Cruel Intentions & Empire Records are three of my all time favourites! I also have a soft spot for 'Where The Heart Is', anything with Hayley Mills in it and 'Rockstar' with Mark Wahlberg...Guilty pleasure movies are the BEST! :)

Re: Rachel Getting Married – a review

Rellacafa — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 00:38:45 -0000

Great review, Kim! I loved this movie...found it completely intriguing and involving from start to finish. Hats off to filmmakers who can show ordinary people so eloquently, flaws included!

What do you mean everyone didn't watch Buffy? They totally did. They just think they're cool now ;P

Thanks for the interview Kim, love hearing about new music! Shall have a listen as I continue my belated google reading :)

Re: When Bad Videos happen to Good Songs; Deux

I agree it's disturbing to look at....but that is absolutely the point. She's pleading her lover to walk away because she's crazy...the clip is like "Look at me I'm so crazy, this is what I feel like on the inside" The pegs, the suffocation, the breathing in a bubble...strangled, netted, trapped...whilst I'm not watching again cause my eyes prefer pretty, I think it's a clever clip!

Re: Model Envy – Miranda Kerr

Rellacafa — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 04:21:37 -0000

Lol! Yes, a little Orlando wouldn't be so bad...it was one of those annual modelling comps...it's amazing what my brain stores ;)

Re: Model Envy – Miranda Kerr

Rellacafa — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 22:50:50 -0000

Totally with you on this one! I'd be Miranda too...I remember back when she was like 14 and won the Dolly Clean & Clear competition...I was around that age and just remember thinking she was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen. She's only gotten more attractive with age and yet seems to still be down to earth when interviewed...lovely.

Re: :: Blog Etiquette : The Good, The Bad and The (Hopefully Not Too) Ugly....

Rellacafa — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 03:05:08 -0000

LOL! I love the comment at the end of your page :)

I did scroll all the way to the bottom, it's a very interesting discussion! I think absolutely anything that one uses that is not their own should be credited and linked to the source...I think I still have all the plagiarism laws nailed into my head after attending uni...they hammer them hard.

I like to connect with the bloggers who's work I read. If I like something, I'll leave a comment, if not, I'll just continue on my little cyber surf...it's not my job to bring people down! As far as art/crafty blogs go, I prefer those where the writer reveals a little of themselves, as well as their work...kind of like it's nice to hear interviews with musicians that I love, it's like a little insight behind the scenes.

Thanks for a great post!

I'm with you! I got so excited after the first episode...I am so angry at Channel 10 for making me wait and for teasing me like that...yet here I am, all revved up, just like they planned! ;P

Re: :: Truth or Dare or Warts or Spin...

Rellacafa — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 07:19:58 -0000

Very interesting post, the comments are especially fascinating. It's great to read what people think on this topic. I started my blog as a way to share my creative pursuits, I was mainly sewing and had dreams of opening my own shop on Etsy. I also decided to start blogging as I got more involved with the internet after developing Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Over time, the chronic pain condition has changed my entire life and my blog has changed to reflect that.

A lot of what I live with is really depressing, so whilst I show the warts, I also write about how I'm dealing with them and how I hope to continue for the future. I don't try to paint a super sugar coat on my situation and I don't pretend things are happy when they aren't, I just try to focus my post on how I'm dealing, rather than what the issue is. I'm not out to depress people, I'd rather try to inspire someone in a similar situation, or help them feel less lonely, but without being all schmulzy about it. My blog exists as a way for me to communicate about my life, something I can't really do in person all the time, anymore. I would like to get back to more creative pursuits but I have to build up my physical strength again in the mean time, so I'm sharing that journey.

As a reader I like a combination of real/fancied up bloggers. I like to read about real lives because I can relate and interact with them, something that is hard to do in real life for me as I have to spend a lot of time at home. I also like blogs that are just all about the pretty and sharing the pretty and being inspiring...I keep these in separate google reader folders, it just depends what I need that day!

Re: Pineapple Express – a review

Rellacafa — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 23:53:36 -0000

You know, I loved this movie so much that clicking on this review I thought this was going to be it...this was going to be the film that Kim & I don't agree on...but no, no, you love it too! I will add, with the explanation of "misspent youth" that the capturing of the drug/stoner lifestyle in this film is exceptionally spot on. I've known Saul's. I've known Dale's. The realistic babbling of their stoner conversations makes this movie all the more hilarious. It's the first comedy I've seen since Napoleon Dynamite that I've loved enough to want to keep watching over and over!

BTW- I love how your blog is set out to easily link to older posts, I prefer reading reviews after I've seen the movies so I can compare opinion, so I like that I can click back easily :)
