Floating Leaf

Um.. *wipes brow with sparkly towel*
These days are all about artfully invented cold/chilly/icy meals, even here in Teh North. Guh - it´s been some days of +30C and I am mostly walking around in the garden with wet towels around my head to not die from sunstroke. I do love Swedish summers, but when the air is fucking vibrating it´s not my cup of tea (not being one of those sun-worshippers and generally refusing to expose teh pasty-white fleshiness, because WHY has it to be that us Pale Transparent People are totally discriminated against?) *ogles sister´s tan & wonders how we can be of the same family*
But back to the eating-issue;
What about some Gazpacho? Just whatever you have at home concerning fresh vegetables..
Or melon, Parma ham & mozzarella (virgin olive oil, sea salt, fresh basil)?
Greek salad with tzatziki & bread?
Filled peaches/tomatoes (tuna fish, hardboiled eggs, red onion, mayonnaise, sourcream.. or… cottage cheese, apple, yellow cheese, red onion…. Or… Feta cheese, black olives, tomatoes, garlic)
*runs out of creative ideas, due to current ev0l!sunstroke*
*adds another wet towel*
*drops melting icecube in cleavage*

Oh my.. Brokeback. Yesss, the tent! *dies* And the starircase!snog..*gulps*
Why wasn´t there MOAR EXPLICIT SCENES, btw?
So touchingly imperfect. So un-Hollywood, so understated, so real. *WHIMPERS*

First time I saw this movie, was in a theatre in Israel. I remember having some frustrated moments trying to interpret Ennis´ muffled grumblings - with a Hebrew subtitle. *headdesk*
Of course, this was one of those movies I knew I was going to love even before it started, as I am a lover of controversial!movies (while it wasn´t all that controversial in my_eyes, but just for the cause of it y´know.. *bounces*)
Disturbingly, before half-time of the movie - most people had left the theatre in protest (yeah, and why the hell are they even GOING to watch a gay themed movie in the first place, huh???)
It startled my bf at the time, he got really upset, as he himself was very touched by it and cried along with me at the end. (2 red-faced people leaving the theatre at least damnit)

Isn´t it amazing how a certain moment in a movie automatically triggers the tears? I completely agree with you on the cry!moments you mentioned. *snifflez at Ennis!shirt and the whole impossibility of their love-story to end happily*

He totally resonates with my own feeling of "not fitting in"; of being shy and introverted and lost and helpless against fate, against emotions, against other people's warped perceptions of what's acceptable
That´s really interesting, I find it fascinating when one can identify oneself with the deeper levels of a movie-character. Ennis was always the one frustrating me with his interacting issues and held-back character- probably because he contains so many restrained feelings that I basically just wanna rip all those layers apart and present Reality for him to face, awaking the sleeping!rebel inside and just let.him.flow.upwards.and.submerge. Gah!

The non-fitting-in!issue is basically the matter of my life too, although written on a sparkly wall with a rebellious pen. =S
Omg, I totally love your reviews.. they speak directly to my heart in a very sincere way as you have the way with words that I don´t (though wishing I had), for things like this. Yep, much speaking my mind and all; you´re putting words to much of my own thoughts. Damn fascinating, really.

Good to hear that you´re recovering from the lobster!state. I felt really sorry, because being one who generally fears the sun - I do know it´s horrible to miscalculate its damaging power. Sensitive elves and all that. *nods*
