(no subject)

I got 10 hours sleep last night. First time in ages that I got more than 8 as opposed to less than. And there was even a bit of sunshine when I woke up!

And... I made the appointment to see about getting sterilized, although the appointment isn't til mid-July and even then it might take quite a while until it's actually done and finished, since there's a 3-month wait after the procedure to see if it worked right or not.

And I made an apple/carrot streusel cake for Forestfen's birthday and ordered a newer computer for her.

And I'm still waiting to see how things will turn out with my cool new dom-friend... Things seem good so far, but we haven't met in person yet, and he's currently rather beschaeftigt with other things.

And my dad sent me this link... for vegetarian star wars fans

And... it's the weekend, bey-beh!

I took Forestfen to watch Episode 3 today since she wanted to see it. Interestingly, I liked it today more than I did the first time... It seems that knowing aforehand which parts of the movie will annoy me, allows me to be less concerned with those parts, and to focus instead on the rest of it. And I even find my mind coming up with explanations for the bad parts. Ie., what seemed ridiculous at first, seems reasonable when considered from another viewpoint.

( ...spoiler cut... )

So anyway, ignoring the annoying parts, it still is a pretty cool movie... or story, perhaps. I mean, really, the movie is just one attempt at telling a story... and even if this manifestation/interpretation/visualization of the underlying story has parts which annoy me, that's not unexpected, since the people who made the film are just human. That doesn't mean that there isn't a wonderful, good & even perfect story out there, of which these movies are a mere attempt to portray. So if you ignore the bad parts, and/or replace those parts with better versions (how you yourself think they'd be better), then there you are, and you've got a great story. Right? See, I can still be a fan even while not seeming to like the movies that much. hehheh.

One other thing... People make a point about how many fewer important female characters there are than male ones in most movies. That's quite true. But it's not only the characters... if you watch the end-titles, the names there tend to be overwhelmingly male as well. Sad, isn't it? - that occupations such as the ones pertaining to film-making, still seem to be quite segregated based on gender.
