So, the thing is, we moved house.
I know, right? It was really unexpected. Weelll. Okay. Maybe it wasn’t too unexpected, but it happened really quickly. I had always known that we were going to move house sometime, but when we did Dad and I had no idea what the mysterious house looked like because of our busy schedules. Fortunately, the house is lovely! I was really adamant about getting a room with a big window, just because I like to look outside and all, and I got my treasured window :D. Erm. We’ve been here about a month now, and it’s all going good. So, that explains the long absence and all.
In school news, our literature class (Not English, but I do that too) finished off an outcome that I was reeeeaally nervous about. It counted for 60% of our marks, so yay that we finished it. We had to “respond creatively” to a selection of texts- The Great Gatsby, Much Ado About Nothing, Judith Wright Collected Poems and Bypass. I chose to do Gatsby and I would explain what I’ve written, but it’s quite complicated if you haven’t actually read the book. I really love Literature. It’s like the psychology behind English.
I watched the film Requiem For A Dream. Wow, what a film. It isn’t a horror movie or anything, but it’s so striking and shocking. Not for the faint-hearted! It makes for some pretty tough viewing, especially the famed Black Arm scene. Luckily I watched it with a friend, whose circulation I probably cut off after grabbing his arm extraordinarily tight during the more intense scenes. Haha. If you plan on watching it, don’t watch at night, or alone, and bring many cute stuffed toys. I ended up pausing it and fetching my plush duck, Patrick, who seemed to handle it pretty well XD. And, also, the soundtrack is brilliant. It’s innovative, cold, and it totally suits the film. I must admit, I enjoyed looking at Jared Leto even though he was incredibly skinny (I read he had to shed a fifth of his body weight to play the part). I highly recommend watching it, just for the experience of feeling as though you’ve been shaken around a lot without actually moving. I want to watch π next, (It’s directed by the same person) but reading about it makes look worse than Dream. Oh well. It can’t be as bad as A Clockwork Orange.
I was planning to write more, but, again I’ve run out of time. Damn.
