April's Movies - Trash TV

After spending most of the month house-bound in sickness & foul weather with nothing constructive I really wanted to do, here's a list of the movies (& release years) I have watched over the course of the last month.

I use "watched" loosely because many I fast-forwarded because they were pretty dire.
In no particular order:

  • 21 and Over (2013)
  • Back In the Day (2014)
  • Cubicle Warriors (2013)
  • Dredd (2012)
  • Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013)
  • A Haunted House (2013)
  • The Hunger Games (2012)
  • The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013)
  • Iron Man 3 (2013)
  • Life of Pi (2012)
  • Prowl (2010)
  • The Purge (2013)
  • Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
  • Ted (2012)
  • This Is The End (2011)
  • Trance (2013)
  • Beautiful Creatures (2013)
  • Happy Thank You More Please (2011)
  • Jobs (2013)
  • Magic Mike (2012)
  • Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
  • Paper Giants: Magazine Wars Parts 1 & 2 (2013)
  • Power Games: The Packer/Murdoch Story Parts 1 & 2 (2013)
  • Safe Haven (2013)
  • Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012)
  • Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (2012)
  • Side Effects (2013)
  • Astro Boy (2009)
  • Brave (2012)
  • After The Sunset (2004)
  • Fool's Gold (2007)
  • Pretty Woman (1990)
  • Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986)

In general, most were just rubbish running in the background but there were a handful that were hidden gems or familiar flavours that hit the spot at the right moment.

One Month Anniversary

Today is the one month anniversary of my last day at my last job. It's also 3 weeks since I got a sinus infection that's made me feel like doing very little until today.
So I guess it's about time to start exploring the options.

Anyone asking me "What's the plan?" or "What do you want to do?" have generally had a response of "Nothing" & "Dunno".
Has anything changed? Umm... NO
Do I want to get back into the drudgery of what I know, or try something new? No idea.

One of the benefits of my last job was not sitting at my desk for the entire day. Almost any day could have entertained getting work-related fresh air.
The downside was S-O-S* every day.

I might head "home" for a few days, but reduced budget means travelling the most economic way = Ferry + Bus unless anyone's got a cheaper way to travel NZ's shortest flight route.
Time to do the thinking & make some decisions.
