I'm victim of the worst case of 'don't-wanna-work' ever. And it's not even 10.00AM (11.AM now). It's not even my fault, I was in a good mood this morning - it's Friday, I'm always in a good mood on Fridays - except I came to work, opened my mails and it was all problems piling up and urgent matters and none of the persons I need to talk to to fix said problems are available. Today is going to be one of those days, I just know it *sigh*

Also, I went and signed my new contract for the upcoming year yesterday - meaning I'm officially re-employed at the uni til June 2010 - and turns out they apparently screwed up and I might not get my June salary before... well, I have no idea when they'll pay me, the fuckers. That's exactly what happened last year when I was paid a long time after I actually started and it's pissing me off so much that they're apparently about to do the same mistake again.

Anyway, let's take a deep breath. We're trying to solve that problem so it might get fixed soon *fingers crossed*

Changing the subject. I went to see Terminator: Salvation yesterday with Cookie and I loved it. I mean, yes, it's pure action flick but I thought it was good action flick - meaning you just have to ignore all the plot holes. I was ready to enjoy Connor and Kyle, and I did, but the character who totally stole my heart was Marcus. Oh, Marcus! Wow. You sorta eclipsed everyone else. And, ok, slight exaggeration because I did love Connor and Kyle - Anton Yelchin is never not the cutest thing and he was so intense and brave and all, you go Anton! - and Blair but maybe not that slight exaggeration because, you know, Marcus! I finally get why so many people were gushing over his character :-) Cookie's self-appointed mission today - and I might have pushed her a little too - is to go and find the Connor/Marcus community that has to exist somewhere on LJ.

We watched Transformers when we got back so that we're both ready when Transformers 2 comes out next week and, wow, I'd totally forgotten how funny and utterly crackastic the film was!

Ok, now, posting this and hoping work!things will improve by the hour *fingers crossed*

I loved Marcus Wright too! He totally made the movie for me.

I hope you get paid!

He was such a wonderful surprise! I have so much love for those characters that were supposed to be sort of secondary characters but end up being the ones that made the film for you.

It was the same thing with Watchmen. I was ready to love JDM's performance - which I so did - but I never expected to completely fall in love with Rorschach. He was The One for me :-)
