Not crazy, just weird

An apple meets the marshmallow today.

Emotions, in my experience, aren’t covered by single words. I don’t believe in “sadness,” “joy,” or “regret.” Maybe the best proof that the language is patriarchal is that it oversimplifies feeling. I’d like to have at my disposal complicated hybrid emotions, Germanic train-car constructions like, say, “the happiness that attends disaster.” Or: “the disappointment of sleeping with one’s fantasy.” I’d like to show how “intimations of mortality brought on by aging family members” connects with “the hatred of mirrors that begins in middle age.” I’d like to have a word for “the sadness inspired by failing restaurants” as well as for “the excitement of getting a room with a minibar.” I’ve never had the right words to describe my life, and now that I’ve entered my story, I need them more than ever.

I work as a specialized assassin, in an outfit called the Loopers. When my organization from the future wants someone to die, they zap them back to me and I eliminate the target from the future. The only rule is never let your target escape. Even if your target is you.

Looper was so pretty, it almost made up for the plotholes. Almost. (Also JGL looked so much like Bruce Willis and it was really uncanny).

8. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides
I finally got through it! Honestly, I loved it up until the very end. The prose was beautiful, and I enjoyed the plot and themes (there are some GREAT themes in there); I just didn’t like how abrupt the ending was. I’m sure that if I reread and analyze it, there’s a reason the book finishes like it does, but that was my first reaction. That said, I have to reiterate how much I adored the rest of it.

I’m already happy. I’ve got the coolest friend in the world.

17. Wreck-It Ralph I’d love to watch this one again; I don’t think I was adequately paying attention. From what I did see, I liked it. The movie was funny and sweet without being clichéd, and the little hints and references made to other video games were great.

I came out of this with mixed feelings. I’m glad it wasn’t as horrifying as I thought it would be, but at the same time I’m disappointed. It was an absolutely beautiful movie overall, and the soundtrack is wonderful. I think the acting was good as well. Still, it felt like there was some crucial element missing in the story - the agency of the characters, especially Uncle Charlie. While I understood his motivations somewhat, I don’t think the movie did a good job of fully exploring them.
