Bunnymen and Mansuits
Do you love yourself?
It's easy not to like yourself. But I wonder how much we take care of ourselves. I get really annoyed when people heavily put themselves down. But there's the other end of the spectrum in which people like others liking them, and who they are doesn't matter. Perhaps it's super-ego rather than super-selfless. I think I'm somewhere inbetween. Maybe 'super-selfish'?
Heh. So that's what I've been discovering lately. On Tuesday, at a Church Council meeting, I'm going to give my testimony of faith. It's something I've never officially done before - it's how I live my life and talk about my experiences - but this is about sharing with others (all of them at least a decade or several older than me) and going back to base about foundations. It'll be good.
Today Stephen and I watched Donnie Darko again. You pick up something new every time. I actually visited the website, which was interesting. Thus bunnies, 80s music (ever heard lots of Echo and the Bunnymen?) and questions of why we wear human-suits - what's our real selves?
Steve and I have begun to casually analyse films. This has sprouted from Stargate commentaries and just generally observing how movies are made. After coffee today (ooh - I only had one!.. I guess that balances out yesterday, which we won't talk about -.-), my brain started working faster as it usually does, and came to many great ideas.. scene juxtaposition of the different theatres (Sparkle Motion and movies at Aero), placebos=water=capacity for time travel. All that goodness. It's easy to get in depth with Donnie Darko and not feel like you're imposing meaning that wasn't already there (such as studying the subject of school 'english' imparts).
Oh - anyone have ideas of Donnie using telekenisis (sp.?) or mind control? Shteve reckoned he positioned the plane/plane part in the right position... I couldn't think of anything reasonable for mind control, although other powers in the list (eg. fire, water) fitted.
I was searching for Initial D downloads primarily for Stephen, and ended up using over 20% of our internet in one day.. getting Trigun (again, for my brother, so I feel it's somewhat less selfish and I can justify it), some Zoids Genesis, and what is rapidly becoming a new obsession: Ouran High School Host Club. So much fun! Squee!
I haven't been sleeping well lately, and Steve has just come home from a late shift at work, so it's to bed with me!
