The Age of Innocence

So today I did all sorts of stuff.
- Woke up at 10:13 after staying up late watching Dead Poets Society last night.
- had breakfast, did laundry, read 100+ emails
- walked to school to drop off a book and housing paperwork
- walked to Forbidden Planet and drooled (but they didn't have what I wanted :( )
- walked to SOAS, ensconced myself on the top floor and read for 2.5 hours
- at 7:30, wandered in the direction of Leicester Square
- picked up a pork bun for dinner
- at 9:00 settled in to watch The Age of Innocence at the Prince Charles (where else?)

I've wanted to see this film forever, it's my weakness for costume drama and this was the perfect opportunity. I enjoyed it, it was well done, and I always think that stories that center on manners and propriety, where a whisper can do more harm than a shout (because no one will shout) are interesting. Daniel Day-Lewis reminds me of John Malkovich, there's something about his face, as well as his voice and enunciation, and quite honestly it creeps me out. Heck I even managed to tolerate Michelle Pfeiffer, who is someone that I usually enjoy movies in spite of, rather than because of. Seeing Robert Sean Leonard at the end of the film made an odd continuity with Dead Poets Society as well as leaving me with a longing to see Swing Kids again, a movie which cause Adrienne to once exclaim "I didn't know getting dressed could be that sexy!." *smile*
Enough of my dithering it's bedtime. G'night

(no subject)

I just watched the last half of a footy match and enjoyed it. Back home the only sports I watch on TV involve skates of some type or balance beams and bars.
I have been assimilated.

I recently rediscovered "Something Positive"

It has made me smile, when I have felt like throwing my computer from the window. For this reason I bring you my result for the "Which S*P Character Are You?" quiz. I fyou have no clue what I'm talking about you can go read "Something Positive" here.
