(66) The flood on the corner + links

Lana Del Reyreleased new music video - just in time for Valentine's Day - for the song Burning Desire. I really hope we will get videos for Cola and American which are my two favorite songs from her new album.

I posted the link to my 48 hidden images in Black Swan on reddit and I got....more than 400,000 hits in one day. That's twice more than I got over a year here. Insane. The link is actually still generating hits. I just...I have no words.

My weekend was shit even with that, as Gustav ate something off the ground again and had to stay at dog hospital for 2 days. It was terrible. I couldn't sleep. I was so worried, not just for his health but also that he was scared and alone there. I think I called the vet every 4 hours. Apparently Gustav didn't have such a bad time - he played with everyone there, but he bit few people too and no wonder - he had this thing stuck in his paw and they hooked IV to it. When we picked him up on Monday it was insane, he was so happy to see us. Well, he was mostly happy to see my mother because she is the one who feeds him so he jumped on her and as I took him outside (since he was yapping away so loud it was crazy) he actually started to jump at the door and we had to go back in. He couldn't calm himself down for 15 minutes. Now he is all right though he is on the diet he has to stay on for a week. He is pissed off at all of us for not feeding him us much as he would want.

I just hate it whenever I have to deal with the doctors. I myself don't go to the doctors. If I am dying or something, I do not want to know. I only go to doctors if I have insanely high fever or if it's something with my tooth since it won't kill you and the longer you wait, the worse it gets. Fortunately I am almost never sick and I brush my teeth 5 times a day (I hate dentists). But when it comes to my dog that is my responsibility I bring him to the vet all the time. And it's a good thing that we did this time though honestly whenever I'm there I'm close to passing out from worry. Also Gustav has a habit of getting sick on Saturday night/Sunday. Then there is only one place in the city that is opened and it's crazy expensive. Don't get me wrong, I'd spent all my money on this dog but honestly for the cost of his stay over two days there I would expect him to get a spa treatment and get freaking mojitos or something and I don't think that happened.

Look at those new scenes from Luther 3 - let me write this again - ALICE IS BACK!

Speaking of Idris - Harvey Weinstien took interest in that Mandela movie with him. Oh God please give this man an Oscar. That would be so great. Though I have to say Weinstein is losing his touch a little. Silver Linings Playbook is getting screwed over left and right, Tarantino didn't get best director nomination and don't get me started on DiCaprio again.

Saoirse Ronan joined Ryan Gosling's To Catch a Monster. Let's hope it will be good.

Dominic West and Helena Bonham Carter will star as Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in a 90-minute film that will air on BBC4. This is fantastic.

Christoph Waltz is hosting SNL this weekend. Let's hope the writers finally try and create something good because lately the show was close to unwatchable.

Have you guys seen Graham Norton show with Fassbender and Mark Walhberg? Walhberg was completely drunk and Fassy was in a terrible position having have to explain stuff over and over again. It was hilarious.BTW Fassy is just adorable.

I saw the trailer for Oblivionwhich actually looks pretty good. I'll definitely see it for underrated Andrea Riseborough and M83 score.

I'm working on two gigantic posts at the same time, part 1 of one of them will be published tomorrow. Hopefully once I post it, it will encourage you to watch that specific TV series the post will be about.

Has anyone seen The Practiceor Boston Legal? Are these worth seeing?

After seeing BAFTA ceremony I'm - again - in love with George Clooney. Again or still. I'm not sure. every Oscar season it's the same thing. I really need to watch Michael Clayton again.

I finally managed to watch last week's Parks and Recreation. Though I still find Anne/Leslie related plots to be boring the guys brought the laughs - they got food poisoning and it was completely hilarious. Unfortunately, this week's episode was a snoozefest.

Modern family was very funny though, especially Claire and Phil. Seeing how rapidly the quality of Parks and Rec and The Big Bang Theory is dropping, it's probably the funniest show on TV right now.

The Oscars are next Sunday! I'm actually not excited about who will win as 1. there are too many locks for win this year 2. neither of my top 3 movies in 2012 got anything so fuck the Academy 3. MacFarlane or whatever you spell his name is hosting and I can't stand him. But oh my God, Jean Dujardin will be there. And I can't wait to see what Amy Adams is going to wear - she always has the best dresses. I'm kinda worried about all of those tributes - musical tribute, James Bond tribute...this is why Oscars are so boring. The BAFTA and Golden Globes ceremonies are at least relatively short, here there is all this dull hoopla happening and add to that all those commercial breaks.

I was going to see Warm Bodies and ParaNorman this week but of course I didn't find the time to do so, as usual. Hopefully I'll finally get to see at least one film this weekend.

So the ~~crap~~ meteorites are falling from the sky and the Pope is resigning. Maybe Mayans were wrong about the 2 in the end of 2012 and it's really 2013? Let me just tell you - if the world comes to an end after I finished law school and passed the bar which may happen this year once I get to hell I'll kick some serious ass there.
