Apologies for my infrequent blog entries.
It's interesting how time flies when you're on break. You think you'll have plenty of time to do what you want but find that you either squander the time or spend so much doing one task that multi-tasking is rendered ineffective. Like helping Mom bake persimmon cookies and fighting over how much cups of sugar to use and duhhdah^3.
SO I did some errands with my mom. We braved the heavy downpour and I stayed in. Well, we stopped by the library to drop off some dvds, only to find that I borrowed more. I got caprica, the new mini-series prequel to ronald moore's reimagined bsg and also bryan singer's "the usual suspects"
Just saw ordinary people last night; very touching and sentimental film. I think coping with the grief of the lost of a loved on has helped me value this film as a gem. That "messes" happen and you can't just pick up the pieces, clean up and move on. You take that pain with you but find the strength, courage and hope that life is precious and all worth holding onto despite all the "normal" stuff going on.
I guess that's how nostalgia is like a pain in your gut that won't go away. Like overstuffing yourself and hoping that one glass of barq's root beer at the all you can eat buffet can push down all the food you've just eaten in the last twenty mins from the sashimi to the sweet and sour pork.
(that's another story to be told at another time/if you're interested in hearing about it, talk to me.)
Well, a well-made film. Always appreciate dramas from time to time that don't involve love stories, babies switched at birth, far too many subplots and forbidden love (ok, so basically I outlined every sappy east asian melodrama, sorry to spoil the fun...)
Ok, so this is my second cup of tea and I better end here lest I slack off and not work on crammin for my us constitution test.
