The sporadic ramblings of Emily C. A. Snyder - devoted to God, theatre, writing, and much randominity.

Et maintenant, je dur faire les devoires!
Alors! Tis time to put the nose to the grindstone and work on blocking since snow is preventing the getting of paint for the bathroom, which means there's no WAY I'm going to put stuff up on the unpainted walls. *sigh* A few thoughts:
* Pizza with the family is good. A large pizza for $5 is even better.
* Oklahoma with Hugh Jackman is really REALLY good.
* Thank God for the ability to laugh and the making of silly chase scenes. "Adapt and overcome."
* Trail mix is Heaven sent. Or at least sent from Carlsbad, CA. Which makes one wonder how a town received such an unfortunate name.
* The laying off of the Florida hand-animation department is NOT good. Times like these, I wish I were uberrich now so that I could hire them all myself, give them GOOD scripts and wow the world with the beauty of two dimensions. Part of why fairy tales work (frequently) BETTER in 2-D is because we come to these stories with a "storybook" idea to begin with.
To make them live action or something approaching 3-D doesn't feel "real" for them. Example: as much as I'm looking forward to the movie of A Series of Unfortunate Events, I'd actually feel more satisfied if they made the movie out of Mr. Helquist's line drawings. I'd be almost happy if it were B/W! *sigh* Y'know, just because it's not "the lastest technology" DOESN'T outmode it. Two mediums can exist quite happily side-by-side, better equipped for this purpose or the other. One genre does NOT negate another, although one may rise or fall in popularity more than another at any given time. To eradicate a medium is tantamount to eradicating culture - which is perhaps why our Borg-like pseudo-culture is so keen on eradicating anything "so five minutes ago." We are the Worm Jormungand, ever devouring ourselves and recreating ourselves out of our own excrement. Indeed, we are right to revile what Western culture is becoming - but in point of fact, we revile what it is becoming because we mourn what it had been: shining, glorious, Christendom pinnacle of virtue and color. All that's required is for us to stop munching on our rear-ends and start feeding from the Tree of Life! Gah.

Mood: Rassin-frassin Jormungand.
Music: Ballet sequence from Oklahoma - which is nothing like Fantasia's AWESOME ballet sequence! (Tee hee hee! Between that at "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah" that piece has been ruined for me - but if you catch it half-way through and so get rid of your presuppositions it's a gorgeous piece of music.)
Thought: I'm going to go upstairs and replenish my match supply so I can light a candle down here. Oh, and turn over my sheets.
