The post I should have posted yesterday ;)  
I've been in a weird mood, probably can be called apathetic since yesterday morning, but I wanted to post things that happened yesterday and today, so,

I completely changed my sleeping schedule because yesterday I had to wake up at 7 a.m. (I usually wake up a bit later) because I had a Chinese exam at 9 a.m. quite far from where I live. It was an easy exam because it was a First Level exam and I am a bit beyond that ;)

Later on mr. ginger and I went to FNAC (he took me to the exam and waited until I finished the exam, just 1 hour) and surprisingly I found some things: Richard E. Grant's book 'The Wah-Wah Diaries', the narration of his experience directing his first movie (I was going to buy it online anyway), a book with photographs by Robert Doisneau and a dvd: Prison on Fire, a Chow Yun-Fat movie that is quite shocking to watch. It has some very dramatic (and violent) moments but I think it's one of the best of him... I may talk about it one day.

However I left some stuff there I want because it was quite expensive, like North & South (Patrick Swayze & James Read version), Fraggle Rock or The Constant Gardener... I'll buy them but I'll have to wait.

We were going to watch X3 but decided otherwise because we were both pretty tired. Besides, I can't help but remember all the comments I've read about it and I don't want it to disappoint me more than I know it will, so... I just wait a bit longer.


When I was back home I read a great post by [livejournal.com profile] dangermousie about Fanaa, the last Aamir Khan movie. You can read it here.

I was already interested since some time ago I think she also posted about the music and made a pic spam... It looks beautiful, dramatic, sad, with an impressive work of both, Aamir and Kajol (the actress). The thing is that the movie was released this last Friday and of course, not here! I so want to see it!!

I'm still quite ignorant about Bollywood movies but I fell from Aamir Khan since I watched Mangal Pandey, so it really is Toby Stephens' fault, lol!

I went in an Aamir Khan spree but the movies are quite expensive!!! so I had to restrain myself.


However I did find a shocking thing today (not Bollywood related). It's been 10 years since Wong Kar Wai made Happy Together and Yesasia is releasing this amazing box full of goodies! Read:

# The 10th Anniversary edition of Happy Together comes with: a digitally remastered DVD with DTS sound
# 24-bit soundtrack
# 2 folded Happy Together "Re-Union" posters, namely the original Cannes version and the 1997-2006 10th Anniversary version
# a set of 8 postcards
# a Happy Together boxer
# a lamp featuring the Iguazu Falls*, resembling that in the film.
# a numbered certificate
They come in a specially designed boxset, also bearing the serial number, and this edition is limited to 2046 copies worldwide only! Shipment of this product will be automatically upgraded to "Express Service" for free.

Here's the link in case you want to check the pic and see how the lamp works.

What it may stop people from getting this is the awful, awful price!!! And it's even a more expensive version that comes with a poster ^_^'

Hoy estoy super vaga así que voy a contestar en castellano si no te importa :)

¡Al fin has hecho el examen de chino! Por lo que comentas, te debió de salir bien. ¡Yay! Me alegro un montón.

Ese momentito FNAC me parece divino :)

Yo también quiero ver Fanaa... pero ya sabes que aqui no llega nada de nada en cuanto a Bollywood se refiere :( Mis amigas compran en un sitio llamado indiaplaza y dicen que las pelis no suelen salir muy caras, y estan contentas con el servicio. Yo te puedo copiar algunas pelis de Aamir si algun día quedamos y te las paso!

Por cierto, Aamir Khan estuvo en Madrid el martes recogiendo un premio en la Consejería de cultura de Madrid ... y yo me lo perdí!!! Las dos cacho "perris" de mis amigas locas por Bollywood fueron, y le vieron en persona... y dicen que en persona es encantador y mas guapo todavia... y yo aki muriendome de la envidia cuando me lo contaron! ;)

Jo, odio a tus amigas!!! ;)

Me habría encantado verle en persona... es tan guapo. A ver, no es perfecto, pero es tan intenso (sobre todo su mirada), jar me derrito!!!

Este examen era solo uno de los que tengo de chino, desgraciadamente!! Pero bueno, ver que van pasando es un gran alivio, de verdad!

El sitio ese, Indiaplaza, es online, o es una tienda en Madrid? Me gustaría saberlo para echarle un vistazo ;)

Yo tengo algunas pelis de Aamir, pero aún no todas. Pero claro, cuando entro en un loop de esos, intento pillarme todas! Jajaja! Estoy desquiciada! ;)

Le dices a tus amigas que la próxima vez que venga Aamir, si es que eso pasa de nuevo :S, que te avisen y tú me lo dices a mí porque vamos, me da algo! arggg!

Yo me tuve que contener para no echarles una bulla por no haberme avisado para ir con ellas.... grrrr, pero por otro lado, se las veía tan contentas por haberle conocido en persona, que me alegró tanto que no me importó haber perdido la ocasión :)

Aamir es superintenso!! Y además en plan trágico es genial y cuando hace comedia también me encanta!

Es una tienda online: http://www.indiaplaza.com/ :)

Jajaja... a mi también me dan esos "Loops" super locos... mientras una se los pueda permitir, ¿por que no hacerlo? Y me contarás que pelis te compras, si al final te animas... EEEEE!

Le dices a tus amigas que la próxima vez que venga Aamir, si es que eso pasa de nuevo :S, que te avisen y tú me lo dices a mí porque vamos, me da algo! arggg!
Eso eso!! Yo ya las he puesto en la lista negra negrísima por malosas y les he dicho que arderán en el "infienno", pero de buen rollito :P
