Is it the movie or the watching experience?

Heath Ledger... dead? I was surprised by how much this shocked me.

I recall watching 10 Things I Hate About You with Lolabola and her B the night we were getting our stuff ready to sell at the Crap on Tables Festival, as Apple-to-Pear likes to call it. We sold a few bits of jewellery and an oil lamp or two, and stashed the cash away in an old mints tin. Years went by and then few months ago I discovered this cash and spent it - so I owe you, Lola! In the meantime, the $5 bill had gone through a redesign of sorts, so the lady at the counter gave me the raised eyebrow when I handed her this unfashionable-looking fiver. Don't people sew money into their mattresses anymore?

This is sad news, but at least he had a chance to move away from the teen drama thing... not that I didn't have a good time watching that film. Silly movie + friends + sarcasm = one great evening.

Brokeback Mountain was a better movie. I sure know a lot about film, ha ha.

I recall watching that as well. I didn't realize it was him, my memory is just so annoyed with the J.S. actress in it. That dancing on the table bit....she annoys me.

Speaking of which, "crap on tables festival" trumps all other pseudonyms. I can't believe you remember we watched this the night before.

We stashed the money? that is ridiculous. How on earth did you remember what it was from?

Are you going to become a filmmaker now?

I didn't realise it was him either. I just read it somewhere and thought, well lucky him in that excellent piece of art (I thought I could maybe become a film critic). Who's the JS actress? Oh, I remember now. I don't remember much about that movie except the poem at the end and us making fun of the whole thing.

She has some excellent pseudonyms. I don't know how she does it.

I knew the money was from that because it was in a box with all my craft stuff. I remember we'd put it away to 'reinvest' in future projects. We should get on that - I'll pay!
