Yesterday, Fleur and I watched Daredevil. It was very nice. I liked that movie. It didn't capture me like Spider-Man did initially, but it was still very nice. The fight scenes were awesome and Daredevil is one cool character. I just love a hero with a disability and blindness is just way cool. I love it how he handles it and all, even though I don't quite believe it to be possible QUITE like that. Then again, nuclear waste accident etc. We know the drill. Okay... so, that was very nice.

The special effects kicked ass too, how they visualized his vision and all. I also liked it how we got to catch a glimpse into the life of a blind man, the way he arranges his things, folds his bills etc. It was also very romantic, also sad, confusing, funny. Nice movie, yes. Ben Affleck's eyes looks SO odd.

Oh, and Kevin Smith's cameo! I didn't know it and I was squealing when I saw him! It makes total sense! After all, he wrote the script for Daredevil for a long time, he really loves the comic, he's best friends with Affleck. So yeah, makes perfect sense! ^____^

All in all the story was a bit lame. Only a bit. I mean, I loved the arrangement of the scenes, how it starts out with a retrospective and then returns to present and then moves on etc. That was very nice. But I assume they had to cut a lot to ensure a better rating and cut down on the length and it really harmed the story. Matt had hardly any depth. We see him as a lawyer once. It's an important part of his life and that's all you see? I bet die-hard fans of Daredevil were mad at that. Most characters hardly had any depth. The romance bit was over before it began. If they had dragged it on a bit more it would have had a lot more impact on the viewers. The end wasnt that emotional either since you barely had time to adjust to the only possible conclusion etc. So, it all was very swift and only scraping the surface. I know they cut, so I assume that's why it was that way and even though the cuts were decent and didn't really kill anything crucial it kinda rubbed away all depths and peaks. So, that's kinda sad. I hope they restore this for the DVD. In this case I'll buy the Extended Version ^_^.

I love superheroes. *happy sigh*

We had sandwiches at the diner before the movie. Very nice. Had lots of fun. We got our food with US flags and Stars and Stripes napkins O.o;;;. Bro picked up the flag and pretended to set it on fire. We said we'll pile it up later and make a bonfire. In the end we put the flag on top of the table decoration and I wrote "No War" on it with red lip liner. ^_^;;; Okay, it was silly, but we had a good time.

In the afternoon, Fleur and I went to the ostrich farm nearby. I got bitten into the thumb by one. It wasn't bad, but some skin scraped off. *licks thumb* That's the problem with them, you can only feed them by putting your hand half-way down their beaks and they're really greedy. But it was fun. We found out they like grass so I fed them some. Gonna return there with nicer grass some other time. Maybe they like apples or grapes. Gotta look that up. It was really fascinating. The ostriches are such noble birds! Yes! Birds! So big, taller than myself, with large pretty eyes, looooong lashes. And such silky feathers. Of course, the males are a lot prettier than the girls (as usual? XD).

We also saw two ostriches getting it on. *giggles* That looked extremely funny. The guy was having a good time on top, waving his wings around wildly while she was sitting there, looking positively bored. All like "Guh... hurry up, will ya." At some point she even put down her head and waited for him to finish. All the while he was working on her two other ostrich ladies were sitting next to them, ruffling their feathers and getting all excited. Bet they hoped to score too. But too bad for them, once the guy was finished he shook himself and walked off. Very funny sight.

*yawns* It's 2:30 now, weather is very nice, my head hurts... again, fourth day in a row now. Yay me. Fleur is still in bed, which is just fine. I don't know why I only need so little sleep right now. Wait, I need a lot more sleep, I just don't get it. Stupid body. I got a new Yves Rocher catalogue. Yaaaaaay! *goes to playn spending money* Hehe...

Oh, Sher! He was nasty last night. Even though we were still awake at 6 he went right upstairs and woke up my mother so she'd give him food! >_< Brat prince.
