I realised today that I probably get more emotional at films than is necessarily normal. This happened when earlier, I was thinking about watching Gladiator again. This is, I still maintain, my favourite film, although to date I have only seen it all the way through about four times. It’s an incredible film – the depth of the characters, the artistic detail and the amazing score…it’s just so good. But it always gets me really emotional.

I get angry at the injustice, sad because of his death and then ultimately peaceful that he got the bad guy in the end. I always, everytime, even when I don’t see the whole film, cry. A lot. This happens a lot with other films too, but it’s pretty much the same story, but with not such an epic film!

So yeh. In the end, I couldn’t bring myself to go through that, and settled to watching old re-runs of Scrubs…

Completely different, but I was reading the news earlier. That’s something I haven’t done in a long, long time. So most of the time, I feel pretty much out of touch with what is going on. I figured that I would make a determind effort to keep up with things. Anyway, I digress. I saw the article about the doctor who was killed on the last day of her honeymoon, and her husband critically injured, by a burgular with a gun. Every story like this is sad, really sad, especially to think of what the families might be going through. But what struck me as odd, was at the end of the article, there was a quote from a police officer, stating that they wanted to reassure visitors that Antigua is still a safe destination. Yeh. Real safe.

Hmmm. I don’t really want to end on a bad note.

Why is it taking me so long to think of something nice to say?

Ok. I’m happy that these posts are here. Even if no one reads them. Writing them makes me feel better, that things are written down. Maybe I’ll do some more meaningful ones sometime?
