the brightest heaven of invention
1 Nov 2006 12:14 amThree things making me happy at the moment:
1) Finding Shakespeare in Love on sale for $11, and watching it while I type up psych notes. I never, ever get sick of that film. It's perfect. It's like it was designed to be everything I could possibly want in a movie except perhaps explosions. Every time I watch it I pick up another injoke of the only-recognisable-to-massive-Bard-geeks variety (this time it was the words a brave vessel, dashed all to pieces, and the brave souls within her perished in the epilogue voiceover, which I KNEW I'd heard before, and then I realised I'd SAID them before - they're from Miranda's first speech in The Tempest, although from memory she says 'fraughting' instead of 'brave' UM ANYWAY YES). Oh, Stoppard. Call me.
2) Sunshine through the windows and when I step outside, spring weather, cherry blossoms and plum blossoms and violent green explosions of natural colour all over the city.
3) Bits of my psych notes that begin Even though our perceptions of time and space are altered during a saccade... and thus are just begging to be used in a Doctor Who fic or some other sort of fictional madness. Sometimes hard science can read like poetry; sometimes the concepts sing like prose.
