Finally watched Only Lovers Left Alive.



I could watch Tom Hiddleston forever, his face, his voice. Especially as this jaded vampire/musician. Quoting Shakespeare. "This quintessence of dust." Damn.



 I love how so many of the scenes are quiet. The vampire couple sitting still in gorgeous, shadowed lighting.  Listening to the world around them.


Love the soundtrack too. It fits the pace of this movie and gives it such an atmosphere. 




And just, aaaah..

Space

I'm always amazed by how self-centered I can be. Tonight, I was wallowing in this haze of "nothing matters," and even a phone call from Julie to tell me about a freaking hilarious ad wasn't enough to pull me out of it. You may have already seen it on Youtube:


I know, what the hell, right? And it goes on and on. Julie says she wants one for Christmas. 



But I was still in my haze, despite the random/hilarious/disturbing interruption. Until I remembered a guy who makes videos about 10 random facts on a certain subject. I love his videos about space. He's made 5 videos and they get more sophisticated as you go forward through the collection, but he still has a quirky sense of humor that I appreciate. 




Mmph. For whatever reason, I can't attach Part I, so I just picked another Space video in the series, but you should check all of them out. It brought me right out of my self-pity cloud and made me feel almost euphoric. We know so much about the universe and so little! I love it. 

Check out his video on the ocean, too:
