So I woke up at 9 and got up some 15 minutes later, meaning I slept some 10 hours. Watched Beetlejuice yesterday. Wasn't exactly what I imagined it to be. Anyway, while laying bed I had an Idea for a possible project a novel of the Sofia Coppola movie Marie-Antoinette, possibly for next NaNoWriMo or something. This morning I started defining chapters.
Today I ate 3 sandwiches, chips and potatoes. Mood: -1
I continued reading Petals on the Wind. I read to page 308 which amounts to 71% of the book. Overall the story is becoming interesting and nuanced.
I had a sudden idea. I thought about the books that I would love to forget just for the pleasure of reading them again as for the first time. To feel that thrill yet again. But would it really be the same? Could it possibly be that everything that happened since those days changed me so that I wouldn't see it that way anymore and now the old experience would be lost forever.
Also about the 2012 Challenge, yesterday it said great, you are 1% (1 book) ahead. Now it just says you are on track. I guess it had to happen sooner or later.
I went one step ahead with my project and already started cutting the movie into chapters so that later I could just look the necessary part up easily instead of going through the entire video file.
Also the temptation is becoming too much and today I will ask Iveta to buy me chips because today I REALLY want them.
Fantastic, now it's raining :(
It's now almost five and all I've eaten is three sandwiches and they weren't even that big,
OK, here's how it goes so far:
Part I The Bride
Chapter 1 "Leaving Austria Behind" 02:16-08:30
Chapter 2 "Meeting The Family" 08:31-12.55
Chapter 3 "The Wedding" 12.55-22.35
Part II The Dauphine
Chapter 4 "This, Madame, Is Versailles" 22:35-27:58
Chapter 5 "Trying To Be A Good Wife" 27:59-36:40
Chapter 6 "The King's Favourite" 36:40-43:45
Chapter 7 "When Will You Give Us An Heir" 43:45-55:41
Chapter 8 "The Masked Ball" 55:41-1:05:23
Part III The Queen
Chapter 9 "The King Is Dead, Long Live The King" 1:05:23-1:08:07
Chapter 10 "Birthday" 1:08:07-1:14:00
Chapter 11 "Locks And Keys" 1:14:00-1:19:27
Part IV The Mother
Chapter 12 "You Will Be Mine" 1:19:26-1:26:18
So this is as far as I could get, mainly for two reasons a) I always found it hard to deal with the sadder aspects of her life, or any story at all and b) the affair, which is a complete fiction and I know this movie takes many liberties with history but this is by far the greatest and I don't know what to do with it or how to reconcile my image of her with that of this movie in light of this affair. To be honest it was always my plan to end with the happiest moments and leave the rest behind.
She bought me the chips and they were SO good. Exactly what I wanted. And she also brought the parasite with her (what gives?). I can't wait until he gets a job - maybe then he won't hang around here so much. In other news it's Lindsay's court date today. TMZ and others say that her newest report is glowing, but considering her latest behaviour... So I decided to watch her court appearance though it will probably be boring as the last one just to see what's up. I remember some months or so ago I had the idea that if she does get through probation then on my next NaNoWriMo I will do a biography of her.
Just finished eating potatoes and yes i am going to watch the court appearance. Don't know why but I just gotta.
So like the news said everything went peachy. Now it's just till March 29 and then she's off. I honestly can't believe. I remember when the judge gave that sentence I said there was no way she was going to do it and yet here we are. Could this really be the end of the Crack Drama. I'm having doubts about that since there seems to be nothing that happened to truly change her. So I guess now I'll retire for the day. One last thing, yesterday I experienced a real fear of the coming spring, I fear that with so many good things that have happened recently it might shatter all of them since this winter was already pretty tough, especially since the faithful Thursday of December 8 last year, since then I have only been outside 3 time and I fear it might make things worse. END OF ENTRY.
