Life is Too Short to Have Bad Sex in Haystacks
March 05, 2004, 9:55 p.m. Ellie and another friend and I went to see a movie today. Girl With a Peal Earring (based on the book of the same name, based on the painting of the same name). It was beautifully shot, it looked like a Vermeer painting come to life at times, but I felt a little . . . unsatisfied after it. It felt confusing and unresolved – problems would spring up, and then melt away effortlessly. Things would happen, and you’d be all, what, why did she do that? Plot lines were just left hanging at the end, and you wonder what happened after that. Perhaps the book is better. Mmm, but that Cillian Murphy is pretty damn sexy. ’Cept for the awful beanie-thing he had to wear most of the time : ) Today I bought a 6ft poster from Galaxy bookshop. Legolas now stands protectively over my bed, bow strung and arrow nocked. I go back to uni on Monday. My new timetable has its points and drawbacks – a huge gap on Tuesday, six hours long, between a lecture and a screening of a movie for my Religion and Film class. So I can probably skip it if I can get it out on video. But the plus is the fact that I have a four-day weekend. I’m working on Thursday mornings, from nine till two, and all day Saturday, but still – four days off! W00t!
