(no subject)

The good news is I started writing again. It's not my fic for betagoddess and it's not particularly good, but it's something. Slash, plot...a pairing I haven't tried before. Dunno if it'll go anywhere, but it's something. I'll get back to the other fic when I'm out of this funk.

I guess I'm a bit depressed, though I haven't a clue why. I've been watching Ally McBeal and on Saturday, I bought myself a dress. I think the world must be ending.

Okay, there's an actual reason I bought a dress: I was looking for something to wear for a particular occasion: my plan was to get a top I could match with some trousers I already own but I couldn't find a damn thing the right colour in my size. So 'sod it,' I thought and the dress was cheaper than both new trousers and a matching top would have been. But me in a skirt? The world will stop turning, I swear. The worst thing is I kinda like how I look in it.

Also I saw The Curse of the Golden Flower at the cinema on Sat. Wonderful film. I love movies that don't feel the need for a Hollywood ending. A very dark storyline with an amazingly colourful set. The constrast is quite unsettling. Are those colours realistic? I mean, did it really look like that? I don't know how a person could live amidst all that colour. It would be like living on an LSD trip (not that I've ever, you know, but I hear...). Wow. But a fantastic movie. Makes me want to learn Chinese so I could get a hint of all the stuff that gets lost in translation.
