swamped with work a few days before a very important flight. incredibly stressed.
watching Primer led me to believe that TV (not american tv per se, as i doofusly said to the talented sister-thing - who for the record understood the events much more and faster than i did. then again, she appreciated donnie darko more than i did, so she has a history of this) has dulled my brain.i could BARELY follow the story and am not at all comforted by the knowledge that the film isn't supposed to be fully understood by the viewer. yes i googled it up after watching, and some of the things made sense... but as the sister-thing has explained most of it to me already, there really wasn't much else to find out.
anyway, Primer is a damn good movie. i wasn't disappointed at all that i got it, and i'm very easily disappointed these days. everyone into intelligent indie movies should see.
also, The Hunt for Gollum was rather impressive. i'm glad for all the hype, this was really well-made for an independent production. i suppose it's proof that sheer love for a story can make you do great hmm... i think i'd like to be on an indie scifi oldies kick. being deprived of star trek is what probably does this to me :/ i want to watch rene laloux's films the next time i have time.

adam lambert fans should see this video of adam's youngest fan. she's 15 months old and just about the most adorable fangirl ever~
speaking of adam, the talented sister-thing led me to a forum containing my quote of the week:
Thank you, PTB. If your hard work pays off with an Adam win, I will continue to spend my money on your stupid show that makes me care beyond all rational thinking.
