Feb. 27th, 2012 10:54 pm1. Saw Midnight in Paris last night - watched it instead of the Oscars. Really didn't care that much about the Oscar's this year. I've never been a fan of Billy Crystal's brand of comedy (the comedian grates on my nerves to be honest) and I hadn't seen most of the films. Also I tend to agree with Woody Allen who states comparing disparate art works to each other and choosing which is the best much like one might pick a race horse or someone running track seems a bit silly. It's not a race. It's subjective. There's no way to make an objective choice.
Midnight impressed me for it's jokes, which I'm not sure everyone who watched quite got. The Momster missed a few.
I rather loved the general theme - which is about a man enamored with the past, nostalgia. ( Read more... )
2. This is a warning to people: I'm irritable. REALLY IRRITABLE. I admit it. Spend a lot of time, too much, keeping my temper in check. ( Read more... )
At any rate, this is not the time to fight with me in my livejournal. I have 0 tolerance. Folks. I like interaction. But fighting and debate, not so much. Do enough of that in my work-place. So if you disagree with something I post in this space (hey, it's bound to happen particularly if I'm dumb enough to give into the temptation to post about Whedon), keep in mind this is just a personal journal - not a national professional blog or discussion board. I seriously doubt anyone cares that much what I write about. I don't need to be pitch perfect here. I'm not Mark Watches or Neil Gaiman or Jane Espenson for crying out loud. I don't get paid for this. I've already stated in my profile that inaccuracies will exist. Be mindful of your host's blood-pressure. I'm not nice when I get angry online. I do dumb things. I throw things. Probably because my right hand shakes so badly when I get upset, I can't type and this annoys me to no end.
3. Loving the latest Kim Harrison novel. It's interesting. She is discussing so many themes near and dear to my heart. Her main character is struggling with change, with her identity, with the fact that all her friends appear to be moving on without her, while she is stuck. And she's just been told to find "casual friends" to hang with, no strings attached. Easier said than done. Plus, there's the issues of racism, sexual orientation and sexism being discussed in a fascinating and complicated way.
Harrison is bloody brilliant. I just wish she was technically speaking a better writer, but I know how hard that is. I'm struggling with that myself. I need to stop blogging, I think, and start writing creatively again.
