the common tests start tomorrow, and i'll tell you straight up that i'm pretty much done for. all i can do now is pray.

yes, sweet decadence, i went to watch two of the baz retrospective movies last night. romeo+juliet and strictly ballroom. very different, but both good. strictly ballroom > the pathetic excuse for a movie 'shall we dance'. the arts house is pretty nicely done up, apart from the fact that very few frequent it [on a saturday night!] and that the screening room movie quality is rather ... questionable. not horrible, but there were some glitches which would have annoyed me were i in a bad mood. i guess because it's new and there were like, what, 6 people watching r+j? 'give chance'.

i'm simply enraptured by romeo and juliet. i can't get over it. i feel so filled ... with everything. but i can't describe it, i find that describing films and art and literature is like trying to describe colour to a blind person - this stuff has to be experienced on your own. yet i can't help it, i still need to talk about it, though incoherently and incomprehensively. i can't get over shakespeare and baz in all their visionary goodness.

o trespass sweetly urged
give me my sin again
