Blown Away...

Ok, so opening song of the day, mainly because I don't know what the theme of the rant will be this time. But first I want to direct attention to a movie I watched today that blew my mind away. Missing Pages. It you don't go an at least give the trailer a try you are seriously missing out on something. The whole movie will only take half an hour of you life at most. Today at work I was bored and I remembered that I had this movie on my ipod and decided to give it a try, so this is a movie that managed to blow my mind on a ipod screen. I am looking forward to when I sit down and watch it on my computer. The first thing that hit me was the amazingly cool 'filming' style. And then it was the beauty of the pictures. And then it was the creepyness of the Core guys (just look at this picture), and then it was the twist and the sudden end. Before I watched the movie I had hear an interview with Jerome Oliver, the writer and director of the movie, so the story made kind of sense to me.
And since I am up to date with the 7th Son podcast, I started listening to 'Billibub Baddings and the case of the singing sword' by Tee Morris. The story is set in 1929 Chicago and it is a fantasy detective novel, and I love it. I finished it today, and I am for sure buying a copy of the written version, if not for myself then for the SSFFS libary. But I see myself reading this book to my sister's spawn when the little monster grows up, sans chapter 13 or with an heavily edited version of it, but more on the spawn later. And then today when I finished Billi, I started The Rookie by Scott Sigler, now I have started Earthcore by the same guy and I have the first 8 or so chapters of Infected on my ipod, but somehow it was The Rookie I fell for, which is odd because it is about a pro-football player. Yes, American Football, which I know so much about....I think the only sport I know less about is polo. But yes, it is a SciFi story about an football player, yep I was kinda "Eeeeeekeeey?" but when Sigler said 'give me four chapters to hook you' I decided to try, and he had me hooked by the first chapter. So when I get back, I am going to need someone to explain football to me, anyone up to the challange?

In the sewing department things are going great. Mom is helping with the collar on the coat. And I have started on the linnen dress, and by some cool coincidence I bought too much fabric so, I might be making a skirt as well. The fabric for the dress is cut, edges sealed (I actually don't know the word for this, but it is something you do to keep the fabric from fraying), and the darts are done, and a tiny bit of the main construction is done. I am also going to need to put in a zipper here, a zipper that I haven't bought, but since I am going to the city to renew my passport tomorrow I should be able to get hold of it. I should also see if I can get some nice summer high heels since my old ones broke. And buy hair dye, I am going back to dark purple.
