Ehhh... so apparently Open Diary has finally sunk to the bottom. Shame, was interesting while it lasted. Guess I'll move my ramblings to over here as another testament to my never ending failures in life.
So yesterday I began reading Caesar: Life of a Colossus, so far seems good. Chapter 1 was about Rome of the time. Chapter 2 was about his childhood. Well, actually not his as nothing much is known about it, rather what an aristocrats childhood typically would have been like. Everything is very general so far. Chapters 3 and 4 were about his youth. Lots is devoted to the turmoils of 1st century b.c. Rome and the decline of the republic. I mean, you read that and then you look at the modern world...
I have still not continued reading The Three Musketeers and I'm not sure how long this down phase will last. Maybe that's not so bad. Maybe reshaping my life is just what I need.
This weekend we're going nowhere, again, because it is still freakin' cold. Cold in January, who could have predicted such an impossibility.
So just because I'll re-post my current list of top movies of 2013 that will be revised after I see a couple of more movies that are technically 2013 movies but are only coming out here this year:
8. About Time
7. Le Week-End
6. Blue Jasmine
5. Gravity
4. The Conjuring
3. La Grande Bellezza
2. Snowpiercer
1. Prisoners
Missed the Mark or Honourable Mentions:
- 12 Years a Slave
- Captain Phillips
- The Counselor
- Rush
