blah blah blah, Canada and movies
Blah. That basically sums up my mood of late. I have been 'blah' since coming back to NY from Canada. The job search has turned up absolutely nothing and I feel so frustrated that I could just scream. This sort of odd nervous exhaustion has annoyed me today. I could barely pick up a finger to write and my mind fights to find the right words to put down on a page. I have so many things that I need to start up on but my energy levels are so very drained. Hum, not happy with this situation. A moment of complete silence would be so very lovely as well. People in this house seem to have a problem with being silent...or maybe it is just me.
Canada was lots of fun but slightly tiring. J has lots of friends and I met some new people this time around. The weather was nasty at times and good at others. The most fun experience was learning to snow shoe and walking up into the woods behind his fathers house, which seem to stretch for miles. We were alone in the woods and it was so quiet and peaceful. There many many feet of snow but the sun was out and it was warm. The snow itself was powdery and fluffy, much unlike the snow one curses at in the city when it gets all slushy. It was so great to see J though I must admit that I wanted it to end because that would mean that he would go back to Kosovo and finally finish up his contract and get the hell outta there!! Does that make sense? Anyway, fun was had and it was great to see him again.
CANADA
Quebec City was lovely albeit rather colder then Montreal. Montreal rocks though and I like it quite alot. It is my Europe away from europe. They have all these fantastic shops and tea stores that I quite like. Those who know me know that I am quite mad about tea. I love it. Lots of it and at good quality. One can say that one my recent trip I procured a tea oddity: Blooming tea. Once I make a pot I might take a picture and post it since it is worth seeing. Love it, love it, love it. If you have never been to Montreal or Quebec City and cannot afford to go to Europe I strongly suggest going to those cities in Canada: good culture, good food, good atmosphere and great shopping.
MOVIES
Yesterday I went to the movies with my mom. The women cannot seem to stay silent at all and at anytime. I had a headache before the movie even started. Really, I just do not know how a person manages to go on like that without hyperventilating.
We saw Memoir's of a Geisha. It was artistically well made though longer then it needed to be. There were moments when I thought that I would fall asleep. Somehow I anticipated that it would have been a stronger film. The ending was Hollywood glam and the movie was not as dramatic as it would lead one to believe. Visually it was rather nice. Good choice of colours and symbolism. The country shots were excellent though for some reason they did not evoke any sort of feeling in me..as if something was missing in the orchestral arrangements which prompt us to feel something when beautiful scenes were shown.
Tired now.
