Genius Doesn’t Just Happen You Know
We are just settling down to watch a film. The miramax icon has faded from view, the closing strains of the fanfare still fading from the speakers. And D pipes up… Actually, I probably ought to be doing something to my bread just now, you know.
Not complaining, of course. (He was very quick about it. But I fear we will still be pausing the film later on.)
In the end I forgot to go back to it for the duration of the film so had to put off baking it until the next day. Which I think worked out for the best.
indeed just been watching antoine dufour how to do it video – step one do a degree in classical guitar and be sure to practise your scales.
was the film any good by the way
Film was a bit of a miss- Garden State, another of these ‘cult’ films that came out in Fourth Year that I’d been meaning to catch up on for years but which ultimately turn out to be disappointing. Awkward geeky male meets kooky probably depressed female and fall in love in a miserable way. Sometimes it works (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) sometimes it misses (I <3 Huckabees).
You wouldn’t like Garden State. Too much bollocks about psychiatry and some of it felt decidedly miserable, but not in a very satisfactory manner!
Try Hunting and Gathering or I’ve Loved You So Long instead. Or we’ll lend you Sharpe!
we’ve put them on the I love film list. Have also got vol I of Westwing from Twadds to work through. We enjoyed last night’s tv prog about about astronomy using baloons- the Blast or something like that
ah yes…we are quite close to just throwing caution to the wind and ‘investing’ the £50 required to buy the entire West Wing Box Set…Having seen none of it, but with many friends who would have sold their souls for it at university!
