"I like to imagine that the world is one big machine. You know, machines never have any extra parts. They have the exact number and type of parts they need. So I figure if the entire world is a big machine, I have to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason, too." - Hugo CabretIt's a little bit sad, but sometimes I look forward to football a bit too much, because it takes my mind off things that irk me.
It's a form of escapism, I guess. For 90 minutes, you can worry about whether your team is going to win or not instead of worrying about things that you can actually do something about, but won't.
As I say, a little bit sad.
Speaking of escapism, saw Hugo last night. Excellent film. Very photographic. I very much like films that look as though they're filmed by a photographer. Beautiful composition and scenery. Oh, and it was also very well acted, and very neatly cut out parts of the book that I didn't like much anyway.
For some bizarre reason, before I went in, I thought the film was an animated feature. No idea why. Maybe just the 3D, because in my mind, the only films that should be in 3D are cartoons.
In case you're wondering, it's not an animated feature.
So off to do a bit more reading (what else do I do these days), and to watch the football in a few hours. Come on you Gunners!
Word of the Day: Escapism
