blue morpho butterfly

"the hidden harmony is better than the obvious."
-pablo picasso

again with the butterflies, i know.
& rocks.
& i'm sorry i've been away.
i won't bother exhausting you with excuses.
rather, please take these as a peace offering.
it's just that i don't really have anything worth saying, & so i just refrain from making you suffer through a pointless ramble.
i think it's better for the both of us. yeh?


on a different note, i also saw 500 days of summer. quite a while back actually. & just as i thought i would, i liked it.
a lot of people disliked summer's character, but in her defense, she did say from the start that it wouldn't end as he thought it would. it was a disclaimer. he can't expect anything. also, if he isn't the one, he isn't the one. right?
anyway, maybe it's just me. maybe it's because i can relate. i don't know, what do you think?

there's something i have to talk about though, the soundtrack. my goodness, it was like my itunes playing onscreen. Kaisa, my wonderful friend, had to sit next to me as i sang along the entire time :)

do you know what else i've noticed?
the smiths.
the smiths and their consistent ability to be noticed. to be shared. to be listened to.
in movies, or in real life, whichever you prefer, whenever the smiths are playing, someone invariably points out that they love the smiths or starts humming along or starts singing the lyrics or takes their headphones off and waves them at your face signaling for you to listen and share and enjoy the glorious euphony that is the smiths' music. it's a constant. or it's probably just me. yes, it's probably just me. so if you haven't you really ought to check them out :)

I wish there were (500) Days of Summer

Yesterday I finally saw 500 Days of Summer! First off let me say I love the wardrobe choices. I didn't know office wear could look so good...skinny ties. =D I went through the soundtrack before I saw the movie, and seeing how everything fit made the songs just that much better. The movie was uniquely told, a creative breath of fresh air, or as I once said, a fresh of breath air. It may be a close second to HBP as far as my summer movies go. The beginning made for a surprising ending and, well, I'm satisfied with things end of to be. It's a realistic, but cute tale of, what I perceived as fate. Go see it! And listen to my favorite track off the soundtrack. And by the way, Zooey is a wonderful singer. Actually, Joseph wasn't that bad either. Even if he was acting drunk. There is something very pleasant about Joseph Gordon-Levitt when he speaks.

I discovered a bunch of Firefox add-ons, so reviews are coming in my next post. I will tell you that I now have Stumbleupon and making good use of it. So far I have found:

Some uh...interesting street art
Some examples of a project I've always wanted to do. Unfortunately, the back of my monitor is basically just a poster and wall. And shadow.
A reflex test at which I fail.
A cool way to travel through photography.
Architecture+skate+HD+mellow music=one of the most beautiful things to come out of skateboarding

Enjoy your week!
