Prolificacy

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

Why so many posts this evening? Well I’m alone, in that reclusive way of mine, and I’m restless.

I had 2 social invitations for this evening, but I turned down the second one for the first one, then felt a bit tired and intended to turn the first one down too, then found out that it had been cancelled anyway.

This week has been quite unusual really. I went into work on Monday and Tuesday, and felt overwhelmed by the amount of work I have to do in the next week. I was planning to go in on Thursday too (not my usual day), but I changed my mind and decided to bum around at home instead.

I’m only working 3 days a week, but I’m feeling so tired all the time anyway.

On Wednesday I saw Pan’s Labyrinth at the cinema. It was the best film I’ve seen all year. It was a fairy tale (written and directed by Guillermo del Toro) set in 1940s Spain amidst the fascist Francoist regime. The story was laiden with mythological symbolism and subtexts. I need to watch it again to fully appreciate its subtleties, so it’s handy that I was able to pick up the DVD at my local supermarket today.

    Pan’s Labyrinth was such a great movie, so visually interesting and an intelligent and challenging story. I wish they’d make more movies of this calibur!
