Parallel Synchronized Randomness
Finally watched The Science of Sleep.
Its so beautifully done, the story was wacky and made no sense; But it was so beautiful, so surreal, so detached and sad; The kind of movie that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.
I think I prefer this to "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". That movie was a masterpiece, no doubt, but this movie is just... Bizarre... and different. There's a sort of low budget feel to the way it was shot, gives it a more real feeling.
I think the room at the start was the inside of Stephane's brain. Imagine all that effort put into shooting just a few seconds, everything has to synchronize at the right moment. I saw the documentary when Gondry was building the piano that could paint for Bjork, I didn't know it was for the dream sequences.
A fill-in-the-blanks sort of ending. Completely open to interpretation; I think that Stephane is only in love with the Stephanie he has created in his head. I think in the end he realizes that Stephanie is imperfect,"You never finish anything! It drives me crazy." the contrast between Stephanie in his dreams and Stephanie in reality grows more and more obvious as the ending nears. The only way Stephane can be with Stephanie is in his dreams. [Now picture me in front of the laptop at 4am in the morning sobbing my eyes out.]
"P. S. R. Parallel Synchronized Randomness. An interesting brain rarity and our subject for today. Two people walk in opposite directions at the same time and then they make the same decision at the same time. Then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it, and then they correct it. Basically, in a mathematical world these two little guys will stay looped for the end of time. The brain is the most complex thing in the universe and it's right behind the nose."

My version was completely subtitled in Spanish! Its such a nice feeling when you know enough french to know what they're talking about without needing English subtitles.   Waited for the Eclipse with Evonne, daddy and Ethan. Never happened.
Did anyone see anything? I didn't.
It was too cloudy, which was stupid. Something amazing was happening behind all the clouds, but we could only stare... at the clouds...
The ground.
I think I'm an old soul; my grandmum thinks so too. She's very nice to talk to, I miss her lots now that she's back in Penang, I wonder who's helping her apply her eyedrops every night. She lives alone in this temple she mantains, she does fortune telling too.
I think something very sad has happened to me in a past life. Something so incredibly sad that its etched itself onto the soul, maybe thats why I cry for no reason. Its so weird, it really does happen out of the blue, sometimes I just suddenly feel like crying in class. Last week I woke up sobbing really hard and I felt so sad, but I didn't know why.
It happens in a sort of pattern- If I wake up crying that week, I'll probably cry in my sleep two-three times over the next few days. Then it'll stop, for a few weeks, sometimes a few monthes, then it'll start again. The dumbest part is the puffy eyes; Thank God for sem break. I can't imagine walking into college with a swollen face.

"Just a subtle hint of superiority,
Not too snobbish,
Nothing to obvious,
But screaming all the same,
I am better than you."
PS: 4am. Plan to sleep early FAIL. Going to go upstairs and try to sleep. PPS: Twitter. Twitter. Follow ME!
