You still stammered on the 'W'
On this Easter Holiday, I've been a mash-up of productivity and laziness. On one hand I've been diligently painting my guest room. On the other hand, well there's my tendency to fall prey to Youtube and the dvd player. At least that's where I would like to place the blame for my as yet, still unpainted guest room walls. I'm sure those are the only ways in which I've indulged in procrastination...though I notice there is a half empty wine glass on the counter top, my book mark is a few pages closer to the end, and there is a page of pseudo-poetry about men's hair in a notebook lying nearby.
Ah, but back to Youtube and the dvd player.
I've been listening to this Australian band "Something For Kate" quite often lately. Though I have about ten years worth of hits on my computer, I'm finding I enjoy their live performances even more:
Why thank you Youtube.
I rented "The King's Speech" and have been very happy about the decision for days now. I was not sure what type of movie I was getting myself into (I'd literally heard nothing about it, 'til it started winning awards, which usually makes me a bit leery). Trying to be positive, I figured that at least Geoffrey Rush was in it, and whatever else you can say about a movie with Geoffrey Rush in it, you can almost never say there'sa lot of bad acting going on, so that gave me hope.
Oh but I am so glad that I watched this movie. Colin Firth hath dazzled me with his awesomeness. I don't know if I've ever seen such an excellent example of someone portraying internal fear. I have no idea if that even makes sense. It was just so (ADJECTIVE FAILURE). No really, I loved it very much. I was hooked from the moment Colin Firth opened his mouth (irregardless of what came out). Also, it is kind of hilarious at times, to be so darn uncomfortable at others. I literally got up to make coffee at one point, because I was so uncomfortable FOR King George. Then I realized that was a silly thing to do, and rewound the dvd back to the point where I was sharing too much discomfort with a character in a film *eyeroll*
Honestly, I don't know why I do things like that. Is it a testament to good writing that I am so engaged that I feel physically uncomfortable? OR (and this is more likely) is it a personality quirk?
In any event, "The King's Speech" is the first movie I've seen this year that made me really glad to have watched a movie.
