True Procrastination

I don't actually know what I am doing or why, I am actually wearing sunglasses right now and have no recollection of putting them on, but I feel everything will be too bright if I took them off, it is 10:30p.m. 

I spent the weekend doing nothing school related. I technically did not get out of bed until 6pm on Saturday (while I got out to eat then went straight back), I was just in bed watching all of True Detective. True Detective is phenomenal, is it like a whole new level of television, this is the bridge between cinematic excellence and television gold. I am not kidding. The cinematography is exceptional,
and the acting in OSCAR WORTHY, if you want me to prove it just watch it, the 6 minute tracking shot at the end of episode 4 will probably seal the deal completely if nothing else does. I mean do you understand how hard it is to do that in a single take? Especially on a TV shooting schedule, in a real housing estate (it wasn't in a studio!).  I am terribly excited for tomorrow's episode! I also have a slight feeling of accomplishment because I wrote a mini review on it's cinematography (to validate my not doing work) on my IB film blog and other people actually reblogged it. I hope they actually read what I wrote and didn't just like the photoset (it wasn't a great photoset).

Well I hope my life is sort of amusing for you...I got cut by a takeaway box, I was betrayed by the food I wished to consume, my only comfort is that you will get a laugh at the pathetic-ness of this situation.

Am I sounding a little different today? I think it's because I've had too much sugar and tea, my attention span is extremely short today.

on another note, I did watch Moonrise Kingdom (alone.) and I really enjoyed. It might be because I'm biased, cause I really like Wes Anderson's movies, but truthfully, I think lots more people should go see this movie. I really like the way he makes movies with characters than are ultimately completely relate-able, and yet placed in situations and worlds that seem more surreal than realistic. I don't really have the words to describe it. These characters are completely human, but they are somewhat bolder, or certain aspects of them are more amplified, and the world they're in is realistic but with certain quite unrealistic aspects. Does that sound like complete bullshit? Anyway Wes Anderson always has movies that deal with things like troubled children/childhood and odd love, and the colour palette he uses in the movies are always very pretty.

So moonrise kingdom was well worth the money, but there were only what 8 people in the theater. This movie will make you laugh and go aww, and all kinds of things. Edward Norton as the scout master was pretty funny, and comparing him to the characters he's played in other movies, just makes me like him even more as an actor. I can't totally describe how I feel about the entire movie.
well you should watch it to get your own opinion.

p.s. really liked the part they were dancing on the beach, it was funny, yet kind of a coming of age moment.
