oh, the pretty...

So much pretty, so much joy.

Got to spend today in a film induced haze of happy. The chinese food also helped.

Hal Hartley, Peter Jackson, Baz Luhrman = gods umong men.

Hmm... could change topics for my film course and do Luhrman's three movies, but I kind of want to work with Boondock Saints and Book of Life. Still not 100% sure where I want to go. Perhaps should talk to the prof, see what she thinks.

Extended TTT is sooooo the pretty. Filled with pretty. Prettier than god. Howard Shore also a god among men, as ar 85% of the actors in the movie. Makes me happy.

I think I should finish reading Lincoln before I talk to prof though. Need to work out if there's anything I can use from it. Actually, I almost certainly can use Lincoln to discuss Book of Life, but I don't really want to be stuck with Campbell, Eliade (who doesn't really relate anyway), and Weber for Boondock Saints. For one thing, arguing the protestant ethic in relation to the two most Catholic characters ever is going to be wierd. Not going to stop me doing it, but still.

So much pretty...

Thanks to electrolite37 for watching movies with me, the random girls of the dorm of the females for happening to be watching Strictly Ballroom, and halflingmerry for pretty pretty precious.

Lurhman is a master of color use and set design, Jackson owns the wide angle shot and the epic use of sound, Hartley is king of twisted angles and bizarre editing. *loves*

Now I sleep. It's 3 o'clock in the bloody morning.

But, on the other hand, I got about 1/3 of my application essay written, which is a good thing.

Hmmm

I want to be able to 'request and require' things of people. I think I shall have to become an empress. I declare myself Empress of the Empire of AmyAmy. I can do that, you know. *grin* My empire includes my home country and two colonies. Will have to decide if my home country is the room at V-school or the one in my dad's room. I kind of think it's here at V-school. The two rooms back in flat land are colonies I wrested from their prior occupants and owners. Mind, I must always be wary not to disturb the natives (parental types) or they might revolt and take my colonies away from me, but such is always the worry of an Empress.

In other news, third shortest constitutional convention, ever.

I want Bujold to read. I don't want to do my Japanese work. Guess which is going to happen? Go on, guess.

I love this line...

*grin* This has been your pointless post for the day.
