Day 18: Thor can be in my films any day!

Today was such a sunny day... and I spent half of my time in an office. It wasn't so bad though. I managed to send the Erasmus paperwork back to my university so I should be getting money soon. I hope. Please?

Okay, and I was looking at Facebook...

I decided to go shopping (again) but wanted to sway away from the big supermarket and explore the smaller corner shops. The thing about these shops that I find so interesting is that if you were walking past and couldn't read Latvian, you would think they were just normal houses. I know this from experience. Some things seemed much cheaper than the supermarket but I think out of sheer ease I bought half of the stuff I needed from the supermarket anyway. I need to be more money-conscious. I don't want to learn the hard way!

So after dealing with this paperwork and wasting, I mean, spending my money, me and my Estonian friend decided to go for some dinner and then watch Snow White and the Huntsman for my first visit to the cinema in Valmiera. What I love about this cinema is that it still has the original architecture from when it was built under the Soviet rule of Latvia and has only been renovated inside.

Kino Gaisma (trans. as Cinema Light)

It only occurred to me when the lights went down and the film was at least 30 seconds in that this was the second day I was watching an adaptation of Snow White so I should be an expert. And as an expert in this fairytale, I have to say that I think this version was much better. More drama, more special effects and more Chris Hemsworth (Thor to the Marvel Avengers fans). Hmm, need I say more?

There's just something about the way he holds his tool... pun not intended.

So right now, I sit here with a tub of ice cream pressed to my leg. Because of my mosquito bites, obviously. Tomorrow, me and my filming partner will finish the final edit of our first film project. Then the rest of the day is free... art gallery, shopping or another Snow White film? I think I'll do whatever costs the least.
