Living in Eternal Sunshine

This week has been chaos--the reason I haven't posted. I'm sure it's been the same for all of us, though. I scraped by in all my classes and managed to keep the same grades I had the week before, which is good enough for me(unless I bombed the small quiz in Biology--which I doubt).
This whole month has been weird, though, in the way that I haven't really spoken to anyone that much. I did a little, but it was more "yeah, how's your day?"... "Hm, hm, it was fine." I feel like everyone has been in there own little bubble and my bubble has just been lightly bouncing around. It's been frustrating, but hopefully now that finals over it will go away.
In film we are finally getting down to testing, which means I get the first part of my final project assigned Tuesday. Also, I've decided to do my final project by myself (which I told all of you already). I still have to come up with my plot and write my script/do my story board, but after that I will give you all the details. I'm mainly having trouble deciding on something because there are so many options, but has to be around five minutes (not much time at all). So, that's mainly what I've been thinking about this week--I'm aiming for beyond excellent.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind this morning (for a class project). I enjoyed it, but it was also sad. It was one of those films that made me think. It's about a couple who have their past together erased from their memory--it mainly focuses around the man as he flips past through his memories and realizes he doesn't want to let go. I've decided that I never really want to forget anything--I'd rather have a spotty mind. You should definitely watch it.

The Notebook

Also, I'm very excited to see Dear John. It's from the same director as Cider House Rules and Chocolat. It also is based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks who also co-wrote the screenplay. Meaning that it is from the same writer as The Notebook (and some other good movies, but not as good as The Notebook). It should be utterly fantastic, judging by this. Plus, it looks like a complete chick flick, which are my movie weaknesses.
Hopefully I will see you all tomorrow.
Loves,
S

  1. I still have never seen The Notebook! I don't know how because it's on TV basically every weekend. :P And I've always been curious to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. (I can see the to-rent list growing...)

    I'm excited for your movie! Will there be music in it? (I'm asking because I know that you are quite a musical person and that you enjoyed the stop-motion with music last year.) Hopefully I can be a good actress, haha. I'm pretty good at open-mic, but they aren't really similar. :)

  2. Sophie, I have seen Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind. Uh, duh. I've never seen the notebook either though. I'm not particularly looking forward to it.

    I hope your movie goes well!

  3. I LOVE "Eternal," it's always been one of my favorite movies. And God, the couple in "The Notebook" rivals the couple in "Titanic" (my all-time favorite movie couple).

    Jeeze, I wish my life were a movie...
