So that's all the classes you get to pick from? How many do you have to pick?

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Class Registration Blues

Tineke — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 03:24:15 -0000

Wow. Only two. Those ones sounded good. Although I'd pick Rhetoric and Composition and Victorian Poetry myself. :D

You should definitely do that. I used to sit in on lectures I didn't take (mostly in first year). You get to listen to all the interesting stuff and don't have to worry about assignments and final exams. It's great.

I was just thinking you hadn't posted in ages and wondered what you were up to. Then I remembered I book marked this blog. You should still crosspost more often.

Have you heard the about the Bronze Beta 10th anniversary coming up? Tiggi posted about it recently. If lots of people turn up it should be great.

This is the post:

Spread the word to lost Bronzers to meet at The Bronze Beta - Saturday March 10, 2007

Why? Because it's the official 10th anniversary of the original airdate for the show that brought us together. Should we research what they have done and where they are now on various cast and crew? Should each Bronzer do a mini-bio update? Will kenickie hawk his graphic novels? Will Closet Buffyholic still be on the ledge studying for a bar exam? Will there be *sparkly tackle hugs*? Will fenric post his list at 4AM Pacific time(7AM EST, 12PM GMT)? Is there any room left on Flossie to celebrate this event? Will the Aquamarine Armband Posse make an appearance with their armbands and horsies up high? Will Cosmic Bob still have titles? Will Narrator still be oh so very WRONG(!)? Come find out and please, spread the word to lost Bronzers.

I'm going to write it in my diary so I don't forget.

Well I'll at least be there on the 9th cause that's the 10th for me. :P

Actually I popped by randomly last night and found a few people wishing me a happy birthday. Weird. No idea why The Birthday Gnome thought it was my birthday. Although this may explain why it never wished me happy birthday on my actual birthday.

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Voltaire on Homer

Unrelated. But, OoooO. Your layout changed. Is that music thing in the corner meant to be playing music? Because I can't hear anything. :(

That's awesome. Music to listen to while reading your blog.

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Trailer Watch - Opening April 6, 2007

Happy Birthday Jandy!

When I do finally get around to sending you off a DVD you can pretend it's a very late birthday present. :P

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Film Anthologies

Tineke — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 05:11:17 -0000

I would love those DVDs. In second year Film History lectures the lecturer would have a huge pile of tapes, all lined up at the right moments to show the clips he wanted to illustrate his points.

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Trailer Watch - Opening April 13th and 19th, 2007

Tineke — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 05:17:32 -0000

I saw Hot Fuzz on the weekend and loved it. I love films that subvert a genre while paying homage to it. I loved the really obvious film references. I loved the British humour. I loved how so many random British actors I like always turn up. I loved the action. I loved the characters. I saw it by myself while I was down in Wellington, but want to see it again and take my Dad and brother.

Disturbia - I didn't want to see it based on the plot, but then I saw Shia LaBeouf in the trailer. He's adorable.

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Harry Potter 5 Trailer!

Tineke — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 02:39:01 -0000

I'm very much looking forward to this film now. :) I've watched the trailer a ridiculous amount of times.

Tineke — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 04:06:21 -0000

They spelt it wrong.

Also what happens if I comment to the stream instead of here. Do you ever see it?

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Jean-Luc Godard - a course in cinema

Tineke — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 04:18:52 -0000

Skim read because I'm in a rush and plan to come back and watch and read, but...

What about 2 ou 3 choses que je sais d'elle (Two or Three Things I Know About Her )? I've only seen it once, but there was so much there, it inspired so much thought that I always wanted to rewatch it, but never got around to.

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Image Resizing Using Seam Carving

Tineke — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 15:07:10 -0000

Left a comment on lj and then realised you wouldn't see it there. :P

"Wow. I think the most interesting use was how simple it was to remove someone from a picture. Like the five people on a beach becomming three."

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Image Resizing Using Seam Carving

Tineke — Tue, 04 Sep 2007 15:18:45 -0000

I only just left it today though so not to worry. I've just been catching up on everything now that I have internet access again. :)

Yes, I remember editing someone out of a picture for an icon and it took a very long time. This looks so easy. You could remove all evidence of you ever knowing someone from pictures!

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Fall TV Planning

Tineke — Sun, 16 Sep 2007 10:06:26 -0000

I need to find out what programs, when and on what channels I can get here. Cause I really don't want to miss Bones.

I just watched the promo for Moonlight. How can a show so similar even get made. Didn't someone tell the writer at some point that their whole premise had actually been done before!

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Touch of Evil Opening Shot

Tineke — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 05:02:05 -0000

I haven't seen Touch of Evil. I love that opening shot. I think that shot was able to create far more building tension than a bunch of 2.5 second shots could have.

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Pushing Daisies and Hitchcock

Tineke — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 04:35:46 -0000

I haven't seen the newest episodes, but now I want to go back and watch the three I do have to look for Hitchcock references.

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » November 2007 Reading/Watching/Playing Recap

Tineke — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 13:40:30 -0000

Whenever you talk about xbox it makes me miss my brother. :(

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » November 2007 Reading/Watching/Playing Recap

Tineke — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 13:42:52 -0000

Oh and I hadn't heard of The Darjeeling Limited. But now I think I'll see it. How does it compare to The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (which I love more than The Royal Tenenbaums)?

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » November 2007 Reading/Watching/Playing Recap

Tineke — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 03:36:48 -0000

You should definitely see The Life Aquatic.

Yes. Although he still just has an xbox. I would spend a lot of free time playing xbox and computer games with him. Although I never seem to have enough time to ever finish an xbox game.

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Scorsese Does Hitchcock

Tineke — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 17:20:58 -0000

That was brilliant. I think I spotted Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Birds and Rope.

What was Notorious, Rear Window and North by Northwest?

It would be so much fun to analyse this with all the references as part of an essay on Hitchcock films.

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Scorsese Does Hitchcock

Tineke — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 10:51:34 -0000

Ooo, I should have realised that blinding camera flash one.
Is Notorious the one with the cup of poisonous tea? If it is then all I remember of that film is the foreground teacup shot. :P

When the guy attacks him with the violin bow it reminded me a lot of the murder scene in Rope. One of the shots might have been quite similar.

The initials on the hankerchief is bugging me. Very familiar, but I don't know why.

Thanks for posting that. I really loved it.

You don't happen to know the name of the song in it do you?

Re: Jandy’s Meanderings » Arrested Development Movie in the Works?

Tineke — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 16:32:00 -0000

That would rock so very much!

Re: It’s That Season Again…

Tineke — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 04:18:21 -0000

Huh, so they've remade Kath & Kim.

This post has reminded me of many shows I need to keep up with. :p
