friday night lights.
fall -- my favorite season -- is finally here. i can feel it today: the crispness of the morning air, the lack of humidity, the sweet scent i smell when the wind blows. the sky today was a perfect azure blue, and all i wanted to do was go to the beach and sit in the sand, my knees pulled to my chest, watching the waves.
for some reason, october always makes me think of the scene in the film big fish where ewan mcgregor's character is standing at the edge of the green-grassed, picture-perfect little town of spectre, with its gold twinkle lights strung up between the buildings and its inhabitants looking expectantly at mcgregor's character and the little girl he's standing with. there's just something about that moment in the movie -- those few seconds -- that makes me feel hopeful, nostalgic and a tiny bit sad all at once. i haven't watched big fish in a long time (the last few minutes are much too sad), and the aforementioned scene should probably really make me think of summer. but october is always the first thing that comes to mind.
this was the best screen shot i could find of it.
i love fall.
