(no subject)
Just finished an interesting questionairre that a buddy of mine, the_figments had posted. To see my answers (severely shortened; curse you, 4300 word limit!!), see here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/thefigments/17402.html?view=113914#t113914 and scroll down to my post... fourth or fifth I think. Too lazy to post everything for the moment (may come back and do it, but not now). Yes, in fact, I'm well aware that I sound pretentious and a little smug, and frankly, I don't care. I'm proud of what I am, and what my country is; my country's attitudes have in turn shaped me and my beliefs. I suspect I've mentioned this before...
So, I guess a Season's Greetings is in order, seeing as how I haven't done that yet. So, Happy/Prosperous/Joyous Holiday/Season/Religious Day. It's a mix-and-match greeting!
School starts next week. Semi-excited, despite the fact that my schedule is really bad some days. Couldn't be helped however; stupid single arts class that I had to take screwed my lovely semester right up. Oh well.
I don't think I've talked about a film I've recently seen, Hero. Import from China, it was byt eh same guy who did Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, as well as the up-coming Hous of 1000 Daggers. It was a very pretty film. Nifty Hong Kong-style martial arts, beautiful cinematograpy, and glorious costumes. Go see it. *Nods* I won't say what goes on, but I will say it carries a strong, and while not exactly hidden thouhg not smack you upside the head obvious, which I like, message about why people give up their lives for dreams and principles. Good film.
And that's about the extent of my ramblings at this point. Maybe later I'll find something else meaningful to talk about.
