janie_tangerineOk, as you already have guessed that I went to see 3:10 to Yuma.
GOSH WHAT A MOVIE.
That said, some news?
Mmmmh, news n1 I may have some sort of job. Well last year I gave some Greek and occasionally Latin repetitions to a girl at my school and it seems that my number has gone a long way because last day the mother of another girl who doesn't go to my ex-school called to ask me if I was willing to give repetitions again. So now tomorrow I'm going there and hope it works, because I wouldn't really mind some money coming and if I wanted to forget everything screw that, I'll just allow myself to forget maths XD
News n2 I don't know WHY did I ever choose the Rosseau course at university. Apart from the fact that the guy isn't a bad teacher but it's... well... just not too great either, I can't flash myself the Lost Rosseau everytime °_°and I can't ramble on how Rosseau's civilization theories actually have a sense if applied to Lost while I should be listening but that's a whole another matter.
And I think I'll be reading A tale of two cities next. I really want to finish a Dickens book. And that one's short, sort of, so I'll try again with that. Hoping I actually get through it. Blah, I want to like Dickens, really, but the most I did was half of the Pickwick papers, which I even was liking but... oh well, I'll finish everything, eventually.
Music speaking, I've got Warren Zevon's Mutineer on repeat. God what a genious and what a record. It never was one of my favourites but I'm definitely changing my charts because it's brilliant. And I think I've done my weekly-rambling-thing, for now XD
GOSH WHAT A MOVIE.
I never was too big on Russel Crowe to tell you the truth BUT I'm very big on Christian Bale, since Velvet Goldmine, and OMG in this one he was just amazing. And mr Crowe CAN act, wow. Both terrific. And the plot was just perfect (BUT THE ENDING, WTF? T-T) and it was a WESTERN like it should be, I think the best I've seen since 'Unforgiven' at least with the timing (meaning the best since 1992 XD) and well while no one could ever top THAT movie, oh god. I so, so, so loved it. Technically it was perfect too and damn it screams to be slashed. Now I'm gonna see again the old version which I remember had a very much happier ending and if I remember right I'll just try to merge the two things and hopefully this could get me out of the block, or at least partially. I hope, really.
Also if there was a guy with a five year old kid there which kind of was pointless, I mean, when there was someone getting a bullet out of a wound he was screaming °_° also if in the end he was all like OMG THIS IS TEH COOLEST MOVIE EVER SEEN which was partly true but.. O_O oh well, go see it. Oh go see it. I mean. Just.
I so want more caps of this.
*is such a western!whore*
*goes iconing*

Date: 2007-10-28 10:34 pm (UTC)I think I'll have to listen to Warren Zevon... What kind of music is he? Not that I'm fussy!
no subject
Date: 2007-10-28 10:49 pm (UTC)Oh you have to, definitely ;) about the music itself, well, he's kinda old school american rock a là Springsteen but he had a very personal style and terrific lyrics, try to get a best of (there was a good one called 'Genious') and 'The wind', you shouldn't be disappointed ;)

I don't care that he was paid per word to write, I don't like it.

Date: 2007-10-29 12:35 pm (UTC)But what happened with you happened to me with Jane Austen... which after reading two books out of five I decided that I hated and my English teacher couldn't possibly understand that =_=
no subject
Date: 2007-10-29 03:00 pm (UTC)I'm hard on myself with books too so that's understandable.
I haven't read anythin by Jane Austen but I already know I'm not a fan of those Victorian/18-19th century romance novels.
no subject
Date: 2007-10-29 03:23 pm (UTC)well, if you aren't, spare yourself and read something else ^^' I mean, she may have got all the style you want but as for me, I wanted to kill all the female characters, I didn't care for the males and the whole fickleness of the plots makes me bored to tears. Naw, sorry, not for me ;)
no subject
Date: 2007-10-29 07:33 pm (UTC)Yeah I agree. Nothing about those books is appealing to me.
Can you recommend me some good books?
(I'm trying to get back into reading again.)
no subject
Date: 2007-10-29 09:41 pm (UTC)Well I think I definitely could ;) if you want some light stuff and if you didn't read anything by him you could check out anything by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity and A long way down above all), he's just brilliant ;), then if we want to talk about 18th century Victorian novels I loved 'Wuthering heights' (probably the only book by a woman that I really really liked), then on the apocalyptic side there's '1984' which is my favourite ever, I loved also 'Fahrenheit 451' and 'Lord of the flies', and to change completely the atmosphere I'd recommend everyone 'The three musketeers' which absolutely won't bore anyone ;)
Then another contemporary and living guy of which I'm thinking now that I remember that you speak Spanish and who I love is a Spanish writer, Javier Marìas, who is great IMHO, I didn't read it in Spanish because I'm nowhere near to understanding it right now but he's got a beautiful style and I found him stunning... my favorite of his I read was one that in Spanish should be 'Mañana en la batalla piensa en mí' and the other one I loved was 'Corazon tan blanco', he's really really good ;)

Date: 2007-10-29 10:06 pm (UTC)I'm really excited.
I actually have Wuthering Heights at home but I haven't read it yet. I will definitely take you up on your suggestions when I get the chance.
And to show my excitement and appreciation - an icon of Frusciante doing a crazy solo.
: D
no subject
Date: 2007-10-29 10:21 pm (UTC)Great, if you get to read any of these I want to know what you thought about it ;) and Wuthering is really good, at least because the hero is kinda evil and it's so twisted and different from the usual English victorian novel, it has quite some fascination ;)
