However, I think it's about time to post something, so I will. And it will be completely trivial.
I went to the craft store today, and not only did I manage not to gag, I actually enjoyed myself. I think the Church is going to force me to like crafts. That is perhaps okay. But I still draw the line at scrapbooking.
I wonder if it's weird to like fake flowers and butterflies as much as I do? Because I really, really like them.
Finally, my awesome friend told me about a game she played last night, for which one of the questions was, "If your life were a movie, what would it be titled?"
I already pretty much revealed what mine would be called when I blogged about my autobiography. But she posed the question to some of the coworkers, and one of them came up with a title and all the specs. Who would play him at various stages of his life, who would write the soundtrack, who would direct it, etc.
For the record, if there were a movie about my life I would want it to be directed by Terrence Malick, Gus Van Sant, or Peter Weir. Music would be by Craig Armstrong, Alexandre Desplat, or Philip Glass, with songs in the background by people like Jeff Buckley, Laura Marling, Regina Spektor, and maybe even some Scala and Kolacny Brothers (even though that's all a little trendy). And the necessary Simon and Garfunkel number. The child me would be acted by any cute little girl with red hair, and the adult me would be Romola Garai, even though we don't look much alike. We're taking artistic liberties.
How about you? What would your life movie be like?
Huh. Frankly, if my life were made into a movie, it would bore me out of my mind (even though life is quite fun to live). A movie of my inner life would be one of those visual abstract things that I think have some artistic merit but would again, bore me.
ReplyDeleteA movie of my novel, now that would be more interesting. Music...A.R. Rahman. No contest. Especially since Poledouris is dead. My protagonist would be a younger version of Konkana Sen Sharma, with likewise younger versions of Siddharth and maybe Ayesha Takia as the other leads. The director would be Richard Donner or Mani Ratnam (I can dream).
Romola could totally pull you off :)
Here's a peek into my life lately. Several times a month I "phone a friend" from the craft store because I've got 15 minutes in a horribly busy day to try and get the Beehive activity ready for the week and need help with something that would take me an hour to figure out. My mom always laughs pretty hard and then says, "I don't know if you're changing these girls' lives or not, but they certainly are changing yours."
ReplyDeleteI really like your Easter post.
