Addison made me watch Fail Safe last night. Not a bad movie -- definitely a Cold War classic -- but it was a little too art nouveau for me. Reminded me of Citizen Kane; a great movie spoiled by cinematic feel (at least, in my personal, I-know-you-didn't-ask opinion).
Things around here are crazy as ever... but hopefully we'll find some resolution on one of those fronts by Monday. For the time being, however, it looks like we're stuck in Texas through July -- at least.
I'm stuck, too; once again my Muse has left me. I guess I just have too many other things on my mind to really think about writing anything. I've tried poking and prodding her, but it just makes both of us more and more frustrated. So I've focused on the studying and will leave the dissemination to future events.
On the plus side, procrastination is a good excuse to do some spring cleaning; my closet looks better than it did when we first moved in.

I love cleaning out the closets in spring, it leaves me feeling completely I dont know, accomplished. The answers will come, just be patient.
Fail Safe is a brilliant movie; came out at the same time as Dr Strangelove - similar plots and themes too - and wound up getting a bit overshadowed in people's memory. I found it extremely powerful and the first time I saw it I was very affected by it. It wasn't too arty for me though.
I have a lot of stuff on my mind too, but at least I've gotten some writing done.
I haven't seen that movie. Perhaps I should.
Ah, I have stolen your muse! Two posts in one week ... what?
And I enjoy art noveau; but then, I studied film.Â
