Train of Thought

A few more:

1) Saw the latest Matrix. OK, on one hand, at least stuff happened in this movie, rather than the disjointedness of the last one. And granted, their Christology wasn't 100% off - but, then, why do their Christological images still ring so very falsely? I suppose because their idea of Christ is waaaay off. And because of all the philosophical dreck in the previous movies (esp. Reloaded). Usual worldbuilding loopholes. Felt like there was a lot they cut out of this. Don't bother believing many of the pre-release spoilers - almost nothing is paid off in this movie. And then there's this whole dualism thing of Order vs. Chaos (with Chaos, naturally, being the good guy or woman rather). Sad when I'm rooting for the bit parts! Still, if you're in the mood for bang-em-up-shoot-em-up fights a la LOTS of CGI and wooden acting, by all means see the matinee showing.

2) Am writing The Road Less Trod (working title for), my latest screenplay. Feels like this one might actually go somewhere and come fairly easily! God willing! Have Tuesday off (mostly), thank God, so I'll be trying to get some writing on TRLT and Aiden then. We'll see.

3) The .mpg files don't blow up on the screen as well as the .avi files do, but the .mpg's take up less room...what's a girl to do? *sigh* Buy compressing software, one supposes. Gah!

4) How do I get my computer to read CD-R's or DVD-R's - or rather make them - again? Ah, this silly plugged in world!

5) Strange dream last night. Last two nights, really. Very plot-heavy - that is, not really disjointed as most dreams, more linear, cause-and-effect-y than others. Very tactile, which isn't always pleasant for when one wakes up and still "feels" those sensations. Similar to the dream a few months (weeks?) ago wherein the hand was being massaged by similar main character as the one in last night's dream. Not giving any sort of portentiousness to these - they don't have that, ah, feel (no pun intended) - but still rather vivid. Noteworthy in that respect. And that they're not simply or obviously (unfortunately perennial) anxiety dreams. I speak in riddles and nothing to the point. But that's the joy of a public journal - sorry, folks, no spillage here! ;P Curioser and curioser....

6) Can we say that Troy looks like it's going to SO rock?!?!?! I've never been more thrilled at the mustering of the ships than I've ever been in my life. Woo-HOO! Homer, babe, gotta love ya! (As will, I suspect, millions of college students who have to read you and then wonder why they get points taken off their papers when they say that you mentioned the Trojan Horse because It's In The Movie.... %)

7) Yet again, we finish when the Lord did.

Mood: Eh
Music: Far From Home's debut album - good stuff
Thought: I wish Mary Poppins's means of cleaning worked. *snap snap* Drat.
You Can Never Trust These Things: See, I'll eat most everything on the table BUT the smashed potatoes! Silly willy!


MASHED POTATOES: You are going for the mashed
potatoes! While everyone else is crowded around
the turkey, fighting over it with each other,
you have slipped in to the true heart of the
meal.Now you can have your way with the butter,
chives, gravy, cheese, and sour cream. It's the
mashed potatoes that fill you up, and you
intend to get into those smooth creamy fluffs
before they are all gone! There is always
leftover turkey, but never leftover mashed
potatoes, and you are smart enough to know
there is a reason for that!
