AS you can hopefully see fro mthe photos... It was impressive, I was expecting thunder and lightening, none though, but very impressive rain... Didn't last though... died down very fast! Was how rain should be though!
In choir, we're singining What Shall We Do With a Drunken Sailor, and they sing EARLY in the morning, not Er-Lye... although I've converted at least one person... I think it's so much easier to sing er-lye personally, and sounds better, but anyways (as Mr Holz would say...)
I'm getting addicted to terrible tv here, Spongebob Schwammkopf (you work it out) is on everyday, and is actually surprisingly funny... The worst show I've strated to watch is Sex and the City, only because the rest of hte family watches it (well Erika and Erika), and I don't like to appear anit-social in the evenings... After it is Desperate Housewives which is worth the pain...
i'm reading this weird but good book at the mo called Mount Misery, about a first year psychiatric resident doctor. I got so confused reading the reviews stuck all over it, on the cover was one saying it was hilariously funny, and inside another saying it presented a serious and important wake up call to insitutions all over the world... All the reivews sort of contradict easch other! But it is funny, but scary at the same time. Only shoce it because the library I was at only has about 6 English books (the better on was too far away at the time!)... But I'm really enjoying it... Here'sa NY Times review ... Also just bought Hitchikers Guide in German, will start it soon... I think I have to finish this one first though - I can hear it calling me, which is rare for a book that is not crime or thriller....
well yes, must be off, actually just came online to look for some song lyrics, for an art project... *nose tap*.. If anyone wants to gvie me some good movie quotes please do- Suse i'm sure you'll give me some good ones... hint hint nudge nudge wink wink!

ReplyDeletekate is all alone
feeling sorry for herself
Mim is in Europe
see how deep is that! Let me break it down so you too can appreciate literary genius
line one "kate is all alone"
is a simple statement. this thus emphasizes the two main images it wants to convey a) of kate and b) of aloneness
kate IS alone. ALL alone.
see how that line 'just works'?
the next line "feeling sorry for herself" would probably not have Tennyson returning from the grave to shake the poets hand.
But in reflection of this line you realise that it is in fact the patheticness and poetical ungenius that strengthens this image of a tragic character. Maybe someone who would for instance, turn down a cat empire ticket to eat warmed up soup in front of the bill with her parents.
"Mim is in Europe" Is an abrupt change in the tone however- what is the relavence?
KATE is alone, not mim (even though she is in europe) this poem should be ALL about kate (kate kate kate kate)
Obviously the inclusion of this line is only to do with the poets subsequent guilt about not acknowledging her friend in europe and is kind of a token 'hello im sure your feel a bit lonely sometimes too'
... but probably not because knowing mim shes got half of austria thinking she is the funniest person ever just because she talks like an italian person (blah blah blah wave hands blah blah blah blah blah wave hands more)
best movie quote ever
