oddly, yesterday we watched 'atonement' and
tonight 'the kite runner' - & braxton
asked if i picked them on purpose
to play back to back, but i didn't.
an odd coincidence tho, or retribution
is popular.
from nytimes review:
Like the recent film version of Ian McEwan’s novel “Atonement,” another story ignited by the destructive behavior of a pubescent child, “The Kite Runner” presents a world informed by a variant of original sin. In both, a child’s damaging words and deeds give way to — and seem to foreshadow and somehow even to incite — the larger violence of war. The two stories register very differently, both on the page and on screen, yet what’s curious is how each presents childhood as an already corrupted state that is redeemed only by adult grace. In these stories war becomes a kind of cleansing agent for the destructive child, who, after enduring hardships, matures into a properly contrite adult (and a fiction writer to boot).
from salon.com review:
I must not be the first person to notice that "The Kite Runner" and
Joe Wright's film version of "Atonement" have exactly the same plot:
Rich kid destroys life of privileged underling, becomes writer due to
ensuing deep thinking, does literary penance too little and too late.
I think "Atonement" is a mixed bag too, but it was made by someone who
thinks cinematically, who knows when to move the camera (and when not
to). There is scarcely a shot in "The Kite Runner" longer than five
seconds; two people will be holding a quiet conversation, and Forster
and cinematographer Roberto Schaefer jump around the room on pogo
sticks, pointlessly changing angles on every comma, every pause.
Moments that should provoke quiet contemplation are needlessly
exhausting. |

can you use this to make mustard to have with
french fries (that is how i like them)?
what do you do? just add water or mayonnaise?
i bought some and i am not sure what to do with it.
i guess you can add it to various recipes to give
a kick? |

i watched this film innocence yesterday
& it was brilliant. i guess the script
was based on a frank wederkind novella from 1888
(he also wrote the book the louise brooks film
pandora's box was based on, among other things),
& agnes b. was listed in the credits as a producer or something,
& the filming was done by the same guy who did filming
for irreversible. plus little girls
in white outfits & mysterious goings on & a big forest;
it's very picnic at hanging rock, sweet
days of discipline, suspiria, never let
me go, etc.

my mom is happy i am wearing her green dress tomorrow.
i tied the knot tighter and it isn't so bad. plus my garment
tape is not here yet; it doesn't come tomorrow afternoon
i guess i can just double side tape it? will that work?
i went and got a haircut for the first time since before
i started graduate school at brown. hopefully i can keep
it looking this way for tomorrow night. there
is a reception after the performance here; i cleaned
a bunch yesterday and still have a bit to do
before going to christine, jonathan & orlando's reading
tonight.

& a kodak timer that's all chrome & red
& pretty. all for $56. it was insane.
oh & a white blouse.
i got a cut on my hand from all the hustling,
& people were lined up around the block before it
opened, and then storming the castle, and there
was a curtain with ladies undressed and frantically
trying things on behind it. thalia field
was sitting out front waiting for her husband/child,
& yeah. i have a bandaid on now & i think i will
eat a peanut butter and honey sandwich on multi-grain
from seven stars. |

"I wish you were special," Prince sang, changing Thom Yorke's first-person wail into a second-person embrace. "I believe you are special." He also never sang the word "creep," as far as this critic could hear. That's not his kind of language.
the video is pretty amazing. wobbly, but good sound. |

slightly panicked about what to read and all that but whatever.
tomorrow linnea, joanna and brian have their thesis reading.
my melissa shoes came! they smell like watermelons.
my super 8 bauer camera came! hopefully it works. i put batteries in and it made a whirring sound. now i need some film.
my mom sent a card... she always sends cards for anything; on this one my dad wrote 'love ya' in cursive - i think its funny. and darling.
it rained all day.
braxton got me pink gerber daisies. three of them. he wanted to buy four but the flower shop lady told him odd numbers look better.
danielle dutton was fun and sparkly.
my students turned in some amazing books for final projects.
