Lemoney Snicket's, and now your fucked Thaozeee

Self Diagnosis 101: According to these symptoms, I could be pregnant. I have symptoms 4,5 and 7. ARGH! I've taken about 4 Panadeine Fortes in an effort to achieve perfect health tomorrow. Coherency is slowly dying, replaced by artificial euphoria. Now, to document the day:
7:30am - Get home from work. Sleep ensues..
To chadstone to help a house mover
Pain pours outta every orifice
To Deakin to pick up sis
Call up to profess my apologies. Cannot get to work
2:14pm - Face plant bed

Good thing my sister cooked tonight. There's nothing like spreading sickness in the food to get an angry mob with flaming poles at your door...
Found out Paul Sanderson wrote off his car....HAHAHAHAH. Cop that and perish. I find that shit funny. The car was near the old 'Shamrock' if anyone wonders. I also saw 2 divvy vans in front of the caravan place, arresting a guy who was knealing on the ground. Shits and giggles ensues!

Watched 'Lemoney Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events' last night. It is about 3 rich kids who become orphans when their parents die in a mysterious fire. They soon find out that their new guardian, Count Olaf, is trying to kill them for their inheritence.
Visually, it is beautiful. Great set pieces coupled with some suitably dark camera filtering. I particularly liked Aunt Josephines (played by the always exceptional, Meryl Streep) house. Quite an enjoyable family film. The only problem I had was that the director seemed like he could not decide whether to play to the more sinister side of the story, or the comedy aspects. In the end, it seems too 'dark' for a comedy, and too humorous for a 'dark' movie. It just misses out on being the dark comedy it sought to be. Make sure you watch the end credits. Great animation.

Thaozee gives it 3 and a half Panadeine Forte pills out of 5

Current greenbacks tally: Still $552...shit shit shit
