some random stuff

Let me just say I am extremely satisfied with my ongoing cinematic education. My Beautiful Laundrette, 1985. Daniel Day-Lewis, young, skinny, with bleached, spiky hair, charming in a totally roguish way and very much in love with a cute, olive-skinned Pakistani boy. Yummm.;)

Incidentally, the movie is also quite educational about interracial relations in Great Britain - much like Crash was about the same problem in the US. Sad and disturbing at times, but not without a glimmer of hope...

I have also undertaken an unbelievably time-consuming project of organizing my email into various theme-specific folders, which might finally allow me to have some control over the infernal chaos I call my Yahoo inbox.;) I know it may sound funny, but I used to actually keep everything together - private correspondence, fanfiction, LJ comment notifications, interesting links etc.- just because it didn't occur to me that I could separate it. Now imagine me trying to find a particular message from a few days or weeks ago. The constant clicking back and forth nearly drove me crazy... lol. So now it's gonna be all neatly organized, and maybe I'll even catch up on reading the fanfic lurking in there between the private emails and links to funny stuff on YouTube.:) I'm still over a month behind on the fics posted to my fave Yahoo!Groups (Legolas_Aragorn_Slash and Adult_Viggo), but moving forward slowly. I hope to make some significant progress with that while I still have the time... *sigh*

And now - just because I can - the lyrics to one of two most gorgeous pieces on one of two most gorgeous albums by Lacrimosa...
