Man, Christmacy much?
I had my last airbrush class today. Thank GOD, because I was sick of the stupid class and the stupid class was sick of me, surely, for raping it so badly. My final project is so so so horrible. Like, seriously, it's ugly with a capital U and I'm almost ashamed of showing it to my teacher because I know he'll be horribly mean about it, too. ;___;
My dad is baking my grandma's famed Christmas cookies and I've been reminded of how much I miss baking, but I just can't bake with him, he's impossible and wants to do everything His Way and then it flops (like it invariably does, lol), and it's just so annoying. I'm too used by now to bake by myself, anyway.
I've been mentioning that Christmas tree in my school an awful lot, haven't I? WELL, I HAS PICSHURS:
The creepy dudes wouldn't go away so I had to take pictures of them too. Woe. Anyway, I kept the dude on the right because at his feet is the best 'cartita' of them all: It's about 2 and a half meters long (which would be like... 9 feet? 8 and a half? Something like that) and it says 'I WANT A PONY' at least twice, lol. XDDD
HEE, close up from the other side. There were more letters yesterday, but someone must've thrown out a couple during the night. ;___;
This is kinda awesome because we won't have a Christmas tree this year in my house. BOO. We've never been 'Christmas people' and we'd die before putting on a Rudolph the reindeer sweater or some bullshit like that, but we AT LEAST have a tree (even if that's the doing of my brother and I) but the place we keep the tree in (and our sole two stockings which make up our entire Christmac-y ornaments, lol) is sort of blocked with our new oven/stove/lamps/wood/and whatever other crap houses need. (we're building a house, btw) and my mom said NO. DEFINITELY NOT. And I pleaded and she kept on saying NO. ;____; I want a Christmas tree, damnit.
I watched movies, guys. YAYZ.
La Môme/La Vie En Rose was an incredibly powerful, well done film. It's about the life and death of Edith Piaf, a famed French singer in the 30s/40s. As a stand alone, it features a good script, good lightening and photography - based only in that, it is an emotional, touching film. Based on the acting, though, the quality skyrockets.
Marion Cotillard playing La Môme Piaf is one of the best performances I've seen in my life. She becomes Edith, makes her sorrow and joy her own, and it's her acting what makes this movie stand apart from the rest this year. If this woman doesn't get an oscar (which I'm sure she won't, because the Academy is awful in recognizing 'foreign' talent like that), she will be robbed. Truly and utterly. I spent the last twenty minutes of the film crying my eyes out, non-stop, that's how good she was. She's worth the ticket alone.
Larger, more coherent review in depelicula (in Spanish) and my movie blog (in English).
And then I went to the cinema to see Enchanted and I'm trying real hard to come up with something smarter than OMG AWESOME AWESOME!!!1! XD It was truly delightful and bright and yeah, sure, corny as hell, but it's Disney, we can't expect nothing else, and the cleaning rats and cockroaches made up for a lot of stuff XD Amy Adams was wonderful on this, and I just about died laughing every five minutes. The animation was wonderful, too, and it reminded me how much I miss cell animation in Disney-land, woe. It's a 'kids' movie, so it was only released in Spanish, and I still enjoyed it immensly. That says everything, kids. PIP THE SQUIRREL SO PWNED EVERYTHING, THOUGH.
