The weather has changed and it's making me feel uneasy. Warm and windy, something is surely afoot. This week was kinda busy. I played soccer twice and got hit in the face by some dude's elbow, prompting a swollen and bruised lip. (You should have seen his elbow though). Had to do my documentary pitch on Friday, I was pretty nervous but it seemed to go over ok. Also, some boring classes meant that I got back into drawing, something I haven't done in a while. I drew a whole bunch of stuff including a jet-ski, a giraffe and a range of animal hybrids.

'Inland Empire' (2006) directed by David Lynch

This film is difficult to critique because it's difficult to categorise. It wasn't badly made, I think the director achieved what he set out to do. It's just that it wasn't a particularly enjoyable or rewarding experience watching it. I suppose it is what it is; part art film, part fragmented narrative feature. It's just that I didn't feel that I gained much from watching it, I found it overlong, interesting at times but quite boring overall. The story wasn't particularly engaging or accessible but then, I'm not sure it was meant to be. My reaction to it was that it was an arduous and ultimately dissatisfying experience. It was like when someone tells you about their dream from the night before and they're really excited about it but to you it's still a step removed and dull. It was like that, but for three hours.
