They'll Only Drink Your Tears
Lately I haven't been in much of a blog mood. And I'm not sure why, maybe it's the darkness outside, I go to bed in the early hours and awake in the afternoon. I probably could do with some morning autumnal sunlight.
Anyhoo on with this entry.
I have this bad habit, and I know I'm not unique with this. I guess it's not really bad, it's more peculiar I suppose.
I'll just spit it out; I listen to song on repeat for a day or two (sometimes longer). I don't always do it, I can enjoy music normally, but this mood strikes me a couple of times a month, a sort of melancholy creativeness and... well I can't help myself. On the plus side I tend to write a lot more when it happens, I get lost in stories.
However there is a downside, I get slightly more introverted in real life. Ok before this becomes some type of therapy thing a change of subject is on its way.
Heath Ledger
I went to see his last film recently, there was this ghostly aspect to him/his character, maybe he could feel or sense what was on his horizon. His performance is odd, in fact the whole movie is odd, it's a theatrical dreamlike story and it almost works.
I didn't understand it all, probably I'll find it better after I learn what some of it meant, so I'd say I'll watch it again but then again, there are soo many films I want to see for a first time.
That reminds me, I saw this list yesterday night, the fifty films you should see before you die. And I've seen about ten of them, which isn't bad going.

I have heard of these light box thingies, they give out natural light and are meant to help with winter saddness.Posted 13-11-2009 at 05:17 AM by GypsyGoth

Happiness is a good film..
I rate T1 or T2, ok T2 is action packed early 90s fun but T1 has that mid 80s low budget rawness you just don't get when you throw money at it, same said with Nightmare on Elm Street.
Nice blog btw.Posted 13-11-2009 at 05:18 AM by andyman

Erin Brockovich is very good Chantel, and if you like strange films have a look at Donnie Darko.
