The Stars in Your Eyes

(via NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center)

Just one of those night's ya' know, when one feels small and minute in the scheme of things.

The universe is so big, and it's one of those nights I wish I lived somewhere else. Here isn't too bad, just small. If you want to leave town, you'll probably have to leave the country to make it proper. There aren't that many opportunities no matter what people say either.

Memento

Watched it some time last week. In a word, it was excellent. I know that doesn't say much. I wanted to watch it since I saw Inception in the cinema and was recommended this.

The story is told backward front, to mirror the main character's mental condition. He is unable to make short-term memory, and uses tattoos and polaroids to make sense of things, yet his main aim in life is to avenge the death of his wife.

Like Inception it's an ace movie. The ending catches you by surprise (that goes without being said), and repeated watches will allow the viewer glean more from the (rather) tragic tale each time.

But not something to watch if you want to unwind after a long day at work

The Fall

via (The Fall Pictures - Rotten Tomatoes)

After finishing the entire two seasons of Pushing Daisies (loved the premise, the casting, the treatment, hated the ending), I decided to watch The Fall.

Despite getting a 60% in Rotten Tomatoes (I do my research) I found it splendid. The so-called lack of plot development some critics complained of is from the modern fast paced The kind of concept for a story that I would have hoped to have thought of first, although I would definitely have told it another way. The backdrop was breathtakingly gorgeous, mainly taken from historical sites in India. The sequences are fantastical, but after watching Love Me If You Dare (Jeux d'enfants) it doesn't faze me too much.

Since I’m not going to write the review here’s a good one I came across: http://www.scene-stealers.com/print-reviews/young-actress-unlikely-images-propel-remarkable-the-fall/

Truth be told, I was interrupted half-way through, I so I’m not sure if that’d affect the experience for me?

One Of Us

They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now it's different, I want you to know

One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all

I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
That's how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now I've changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all

Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call

Do relationships all have to be so hard?

Roller-coasters, love them or hate them

(via Coney Island Cyclone)

I never could decide just how I feel about coasters. They terrify yet pose a challenge that you cannot deny. 

The other day's expedition to the newly opened USS theme park was, to me, a disappointment. Probably because the star attractions, the wildly anticipated Dueling Coasters are closed till next year for repairs. And the rest of the rides are not much to my liking. I mean, I like loop-de-loops and sharp dives just fine, but not critters hiding in the darkness, waiting to poke their spiny claws out at you, whether it be mechanized or tricks of light.

You ever feel like that?

(above is an example of the type of coasters I prefer)

Bliss

I should rewatch 500 Days of Summer soon. I absolutely adored it the first time round so yea. 

A random thought, is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all? Then at least you can live in happy ignorant bliss right?
