feeling inspired

i started "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" this morning, thinking i could fold laundry while watching it

...ha ha ha...

it was so pretty, i couldn't do other things during it, really. it's set in the 40's, and the costumes and makeup are wonderful, and the dialogue feels like an old movie.

so now i'm still sitting here, same basket of laundry, with two washcloths folded. hmm.

actually, you know what? i have come to a decision. from now on, whenever i want to watch something while doing laundry, i'll force myself to only watch humphrey bogart movies, because i usually don't understand those anyway. i still don't know quite what was going on in "The Big Sleep", do you?

It Must Be Stopped

Because of where I am sitting to study, every time I look up I see a mirror.

and because of some weird genetic trait that somehow nobody in the Pyles family has noticed yet, every time I do this, I make a face.

Not a cute, look at me making a cute little face kind of face. An "oh, I'm so sorry I just made your children cry" kind of face. The sort of face that makes me despair of ever making a pretty looking face again.

So... I tried to take a pretty picture. It didn't work. I dodged from myself.

And then the Pyles family face making genetic curse prevailed. I deleted those pictures.

This Must Be Stopped.

(i sent one of the genetic curse pictures to elliebird and it got tumbler'd. heed this warning!)
