Down by the river...down by the banks of the river Charles.

It is blazing hot here today in Mass, but the sea breeze is kicking the air around a bit and making it quite bearble. I still haven't gotten off my arse to get ready for the beach, so I may just thunk myself down on my folks' front lawn with a book and a Captain Morgan and do absolutely nothing for a change. I'm planning to see AWE again tonight ( Read more... )

Wah. I want to come and lie on the grass with you while we read. (Tragically, if I attempt to do that here, it will pour on my head.)

There really is something very comforting about reading/studying with a friend. It's nice to be silent and focussed, but not alone. :)

In other words, I wish you were here, too. ;)

Hurray! Rum and books all round! It's weird when you realise you aren't actually obligated to do anything, and can just have a good rest. Being lazy can almost be as hard as being motivated!

Hmm, Elizabethtown. It's a wonderful, terrible, marvellous mess of a film. I love so much about it, and it really stayed with me. I've got it on DVD, and I do watch it from time to time, and certain scenes play on my mind, but I think it would have been a much better film without the entire focus of Drew's redemption/salvation/happiness being hinged on Claire (plus it's deeply annoying that she's, well, annoying. And that she's obviously even more of a mess than him.). If it had been about him reconnecting with his family and his roots, and finding his own way out, without having to rely entirely on her, it would have been a much stronger film with a more positive message IMHO - that you are your own worst enemy, but also your own best friend. But hey, I am not Cameron Crowe. And I'm quite glad about that ( ... )

Yeah, the Claire thing...she was just waaay too "quirky-cute" for me to handle. Her persistence with Drew struck me as terribly pitiful, and I can't imagine any male on the planet being attracted to that ( ... )
