oh look, procrastination again.

regine's top 5 movies: (no particular order, for all the lists below)

1. garden state
2. closer
3. raising victor vargas
4. momento
5. almost famous

i included 'almost famous' because after realising when i got home that i had forgotten my keys, and was stranded outside with 300g of pork mince, i hightailed to noel's place and watched 'almost famous' for the first time in years. and i realised, again, how much i liked it. it's got an emotional core, and when watching it my heart ached for the characters- as they made mistakes and grew up and changed. bittersweet. and true.

top 5 books:

1. to kill a mockingbird- harper lee
2. norwegian wood- haruki murakami
3. divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood- rebecca wells [massacred by the movie]
4. atonement- ian mcewan
5. captivating- stasi and john eldredge

girls, read the last book. it's for girls, and it's awesome. guys can read 'wild at heart', it's the book for guys. anyone who hasn't read norwegian wood should go and buy a copy right now. no one i have recommended it to has disliked it, in fact, everyone looooooooooves it.

top 5 songs: [for the moment]

1. eyes- apollo sunshine
2. today is the day- apollo sunshine
3. i don't know what i can save you from- kings of convenience
4. sweet potato pie- ray charles
5. tiny dancer- elton john

don't laugh for me having elton john there. i liked the song ever since i watched 'almost famous' for the first time and now i might be addicted to it. hey, it's a good song, i don't have to defend my musical choices!

top 5 ingredients:

1. mushrooms- u can put then in anything, stuff them with spinach and ricotta, anything, it always tastes good. special mention goes to enoki mushrooms, yum yum yum.
2. cheese. oh when did ppl realise that bacteria tastes so good???
3. muesli, but the kind that comes in oat clusters. naytura berry oat clusters. very good served with greek yoghurt and honey- my breakfast every morning.
4. chickpeas. i love chickpeas.
5. red capsicum.

top 5 places- that i have been:

1. spain: barcelona in particular. an energy all its own. but all of spain is great. fantastic architecture.
2. greek islands: santorini is gorgeous, believe the hype. it is actually amazing.
3. egypt: u have no idea how big those pyramids are. or the statues. or the temples. egypt is one of those places that u have to go to before you die.
......... actually, i can't pick a top 5. travel is travel. every city has its own character, charm, good points, bad points........... everywhere has to be experienced.

there are endless possibilities for 'top 5 lists'. no need to do them all at once, hey?
