They keep running through my head

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
Fall To Pieces - Avril Lavigne

So these darn lyrics keep running through my head (they play this part of the song in the iTunes preview so listen if you have it). I don't know why they keep resonating in my head and my heart lately. I can certainly relate to the feelings in general, but nothing in particular currenlty, which is why I'm confused that they keep coming up. And it's just this part of the chorus that sticks, until I looked the lyrics up I never even noticed that the next line was “Cuz I'm in Love With you” although it was perfectly clear to me that there was some deep love that was friendship or romance.

It makes me sad but but in a sort of good way. In the way that crying can be a catharsis and purge out the emotional stuff that made you cry in the first place.

I just wanted to check the spelling of catharsis and the definitions were interesting. Actually the Catharsis Wikipedia entry is pretty interesting too.

Did you notice how I jumped from talking about my emotions to the defintion of the word and the history of it? (You did? I thought I might just slip that one by you.)

This is a great album by the way I think I might be turning into an Avril Fan (now that she's “not so angry any more”).

War of the Worlds - Review

Wow!!! I was highly entertained. I did walk in with low expectations but still it was non-stop action and the effects were incredible!!! The plot was a little a lot thin: bad weekend Dad trying to outrun the destruction to save and bond with his kids at the same time. You can see the trailers at the Quicktime site. There's an official web site but it's way too busy (slow) with flash animations to be of any use.

As I said the effects were incredible. I can't think of one complaint about them. Mostly non-stop action. And the aliens were very bad aliens (scary/gory for kids, IMHO). I got really confused with Tom's character I wasn't sure if he was supposed to be not so smart, street smart or secretly smart; it wasn't very consistent at all. I love Dakota Fanning but she didn't have many lines (past the first 10 minutes, no one had many lines). We sat really close too so it was right there in the action.

Please note: I said it was great entertainment, had great special effects, lots of action and a weak plot. You decide if this makes it a great movie or not...

Rag Doll Physics

So this is a little disturbing, yet somehow compelling. Grab the doll and drag/throw it (or it'll seem like much isn't going on). Even when the screen refresh rate slows down it seems to keep the momentum (literally) going.

Stolen (title and all) from Rori.
