I highly recommend Pan's Labyrinth to anyone who can stomach the brutality/disturbing violence of it… as the tale itself is a fabulous mix of fairy tales (not meant for children!) and history (in so far as it is set in Spain 1944)… but also because it is so beautifully filmed with such imaginative creature creations and fabulous portrayals of the characters. So, really, essentially, see it if you dare! (Barb's comments regarding the seductive nature of the taboo are oh so relevant to this film…) Thanks again to Heather for coming and seeing it with me, I always appreciate spending time with awesome friends.
School's going remarkably well — I'm adoring my readings from my children's lit class. In fact the whole routine of things is going well… Even the learning curve at work (yes it's not school either) is not throwing me off cliffs or anything — I'm slowly but surely getting where I need to be…
Anywho… I ought to head off to other things before attending the first bit of a CKI meeting (I've been horribly delinquent in my non-attendance to those last term) and to the Sherwood Park Kiwanis club meeting where I'll be talking about the mammoth trip — thanks again (and well deserved thanks!) go to Rajeev for all of his help in that area. If I'm on top of things I'll even make it to my scholarship application tonight or this weekend and perhaps even get some other tasks checked off my metaphorical to-do list (since this time for once I don't actually have a paper & ink to-do list (or even one on my computer).
