Poignancy

What's this about my "fetish" for poignant movies these days? I finished watching The Hours yesterday, and I just completed Far From Heaven. Julianne Moore is fantastic, though juxtaposing both movies, she's looks the same. Perhaps it's cuz her characters in both movies both live in the same era. 1951 Los Angeles for The Hours, and 1957 Hartford for Far From Heaven. The dressing, hairstyle and even speech are more or less similar. (like duh?) Anyway, both shows were wonderful, and they raised quite a lot of insightful issues like depression, suicide, child abandonment, homosexuality, racism, status discrimination, etc. A real, welcoming change from the usual SATC episodes that I'm always watching. Not that SATC is off my favs list. It's still right up there, on the highest priority ever possible.

It's off again to camp tonight, though I'm feeling quite serene. First of all, I've cleared my IPPT, so there won't be an omni-present fear that I'll flunk this static station or my running, whatsoever. I'm currently left with stupid SOC, though that's not in the program this week, so no cause for worries there, at the moment. And a piece of congratulatory news for myself. There's an out-camp run this Saturday at Punggol, which means a long weekend on Friday. Can't wait. And there's also the probability that I'll be meeting Sean and Joanna on Saturday for catch-up. Hmmm... I guess I'll just lie back and watch this week happen.

Oh, I'm downloading Vanilla Sky at the moment. Most probably watching it over the weekend. Another poignant film?

Out.
