Mrs. Dalloway

I didn't make it to Rent. Go figure. I tried my bestest but sleep got the best of me.
I was going with a friend of mine but sleep took him over as well so I guess it wasn't meant to be today. My plan probably failed due to the movie I decided to watch.

So on to the review!

Mrs. Dalloway
So while watching it, the style of how the film was going made me think it was based off of a book. While I was looking for pictures from the movie to supplement this post, lo and behold I find out it was a book!
That made me even more excited because now I'm going to go to the library and check it out. Its by Virginia Woolf.

The story is centered around Clarissa Dalloway, it takes place in England in the 1920's. The story starts with Clarissa preparing for a party to be held later that evening & the recollections she has on her youth plus other happenings throughout the day. Its set in English society after World War I. There are themes of communication, death, oppression and of course love because love is central to life. It was great picking out motifs in these movie but I know it would be greater in the book.
I don't want to talk about it too much even though if you google it, it'll give away everything but I feel as if people should watch it and/or read it.

I did love the visual aspects of the film. The clothing and  the color palette throughout the movie was soothing and eye catching at the same time. I could not find much pics from the movie though :(
This movie has been added to my wonderful-see list & I cannot wait to get my hands on the book.

 

Take a trip to the library and check out the book or rent the movie and take a look see.
Hopefully you enjoy =)

Up

Its 6:06 AM & I'm up. I got off of work an hour ago.
I blame that Starbucks Mocha Frappucino that I had at like 4.

I need to go to sleep because I want to catch Rent at 2 PM.
FIU's Theatre Dept. is having a production of it & I know two people performing.

Hopefully I make it with this dread awful sleep system my body is developing.
I figure I'll stay up til a certain time, nap, then get ready & go to it.

A movie just started on IFC called Mrs. Dalloway. The description of it sounds like a film right up my alley so I'll watch it then head off to bed. I'm a film addict fyi so I'll randomly write about movies and such.

I'll post back about Rent (if I make it) & about this film.

Enjoy your day! =)

Don't Say No!

Someone put me on to these ads with a panda bear.

Awfully random, ridiculously hilarious.
I always have a chuckle when watching it.

Enjoy =)

Out Loud Thru Keys

This is a run on sentence
Make sense or not
Damaged
Fragments of a whole
Damaged
Don't eclipse my thoughts
Don't press pause

Pause.
I lied, tis allowed. Don't fast forward
You're in for a ride.
Hold on tight if you want, might make it out alive if yu try
Or just lose yourself in this aquarium themepark
But if so you'll miss out on the stars
The infinite air in the surrounding galaxies
HOLD!

Play.
 Back to reality, oh there goes gravity..

Only then.

if..
i like to start sentences off with if in my mind.
if brings up the notion of the other side of the plank
the world in the mirror
the possible but impossible at that second.

that moment turned on its back & dragged along on your journey in life
if..

if only..
if I had
if then

then comes maybe.
I like if but not so much maybe.
maybe makes one seem too iffy.
I like if but not to seem too iffy.

funny thing is, I am iffy.
go figure.

if only I wasn't iffy
this post would't happen or maybe it would be about something else.
if only...

God is worthy of all praise, no matter the circumstance.
Praise isn't about me & how I'm feeling, its about God, straight up.

True friends are hard to find.
