Volume of the Visage
Jan. 15th, 2009 11:17 pmFor those of you who are on it (Facebook, that is), what do you get out of it? And what is its point? Is it true that one can only make very short posts and never ramble in several paragraphs? And if that is the case, why not twitter?
I've got half a toe in the V of the V and was just wondering. Also, I don't know anybody there, and then again, do I want to know anybody?? Scary people from my past lurk and have asked to Freind me and I'm having to Ignore them because there seems to be no custom filter facility.
In funner news:
• I am very well and not depressed. The CBT has really worked! So far!
• I am writing my book! By longhand, in a cheap Sainsbury A4 notepad. What a liberation!
• I got myself an external hard drive and backed up everything in 1 h 58 min. Wow! No more fear of burglars or floods or dropping t'laptop on its face.
• I am reading Q&A by Vikas Swarup, the novel wot the film Slumdog Millionaire is based on, and am enjoying it moreishly. A rollick of a read.
• I am conflicted! Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (see icon) is coming on again at our local cinema! (Unheard of! Twice in a row!) And now I'm almost tempted to cancel an afternoon tea date on Sunday so that I can watch it again. But this would be Terrible and Thwarting Old Friends so I can't possibly do it but oh, I am so tempted.
Because I loveloveadore that film so much. I've been playing it back in my head ever since I saw it last Sunday, and mainlining the soundtrack, and learning off by heart the lyrics to the lovesome lovelove song Haule Haule which has one of the loveliest, smiling-on-my-faceyest, heartwarmingest picturisations I've ever seen. No fancy effects, just gorgeous sweetitude.
I just love Shahrukh Khan's character of the nerdy humble office clerk who is overwhelmed by love entering his life unexpectedly. SRK also plays a laddish alter ego as is his wont but it's the office clerk who has completely won me over. I keep planning to make a long post about this film. For the moment, I'm just mindswooning.
