the illusionist

Tonight I finally, finally bought my own copy of The Illusionist.

It is my absolute favorite movie of all time.

Every time I watch it I'm just blown away by how beautiful it is.

"What do you want?"
"Nothing."

"Then why are you doing this?"

"To be with her."

“From the moment we enter this life we are in the flow of it. We measure it and we mock it, but we cannot defy it. We cannot even speed it up or slow it down. Or can we? Have we not each experienced the sensation that a beautiful moment seemed to pass too quickly, and wished that we could make it linger? Or felt time slow on a dull day, and wished that we could speed things up a bit?”

The love scene from The Illusionist is by far the most beautiful one in any movie, anywhere, at any time.  
There's no explicit nudity (amazingly) but you probably shouldn't watch it at work.  
Your computer might explode from the perfection of it.








I almost didn't post this because this movie is so special to me and so close to my heart that I had a moment of wanting to keep it hidden.  But it's too perfect not to share.

If you've seen The Illusionist-- what did you think of it?

man of a thousand faces

My go-to television show to watch every semester while I am hand-stitching my hems is The Office.
In fact, I have sort of an unofficial tradition of watching every single episode by the end of the semester.
Right now I'm on season seven.  So I'm on track.
However, after eight semesters of this, I think I may have actually watched it too much.
Whenever something exasperating or bemusing happens, I find myself turning to an imaginary camera and making a Jim-face.

...Wow.  This post has gotten out of control.  I was only going to include maybe five of my favorite Jim-faces, but they are all so good.

incidentally, most of the gifs in this post are via jimhalpertfaces on tumblr.  if you do one thing today, follow them.  because there's like thirty pages of Jim-face goodness.  

THIRTY.  PAGES.

Hope you're all having a good week.  Is it seriously only Tuesday?  This week is going on forEVER.

Ha.

Alright.

I'm done now.
