Trainspotting

Happy Halloween everyone! It's not quite the same in Britain, but it's here. There are lots of parties tonight, all welcoming fancy dress (the British phrase for costumes) and I haven't yet decided whether or not I will indulge. I don't have a costume for one. And another, it just wouldn't be the same as home. Halloween was always such a blast at Penn - remember Tash's tinkerbell costume last year? Honestly, how could I top that? I may just go watch this film, it's supposed to be quite good, "Shaun of the Dead" - bit of a horror genre mocking flick, I think. Or maybe Pamela and I will go see "Saw"... she's been wanting to do that.

Anyway, my flatmate Pamela brought Trainspotting, the film, back from Fort William (she went home for fall break). It has been on our telly NON-STOP since then. It's quite ridiculous but such a BLOODY BRILLIANT FILM! It's amazing. The cinematography is unbelievable. Plus it's fun to watch now because it takes part mostly in Edinburgh so we're all like "oh that's the street *insert name of club/bar/pub/etc.* is on!" And don't even get me started on the soundtrack.... FANTAAAAAASTIC! It's been a Danny Boyle/Ewan McGregor-worshipping festival in the flat as of late. In short, in you have not yet seen this movie, do it immediately! Besides the hard drugs, it will give you a little bit of a glance into what my life is like (the accents, the city, etc.).

Note: Apologise for shameless use of British slang in this entry - watched a bit of Harry Potter last night and cannot help it.

Oh... and Begbie. BEGBIE!!!!
