A few things worth nothing:
1. Finally got around to seeing Star Wars, Episode 7: The Force Awakens. Congratulations to J.J. Abrams for re-making Star Wars, Episode 4: A New Hope without really telling anyone. I am a Star Wars fan almost from the cradle (it came out May the year that I was born) and I enjoyed it immensely.
2. Considering, I do not understand how Mad Max: Fury Road has been nominated for Best Picture. I enjoyed it. I really liked the story that was being told (re-tread of other things though it was), but I remember there were some weird inconsistencies and not that an action movie can't be a Best Picture, I don't remember that I was all that impressed with the storyline. Charlize Theron's awesomeness not-withstanding.
3. Fury Road was also NOT a Mad Max film. Not really. It was Furiosa's story.
4. Projects: AO3 upload of ye olde archive. OG Writing Project (yeah, still babysitting that one but more excited about it everyday).
5. Books to read: Chaucer to Spenser: a critical reader, Carnival of Souls, The Girl with All the Gifts, and
6. I am in deep lust with Spotify. Send me your ID if you have one and I'll totes link ya! My Starred playlist is on total CRACK!
7. I work like I'm stupid.
8. I think that may have really given up on The Walking Dead. They burned me out and broke my soul, yo. And I haven't even finished the last part of the first half of the season. I'm like five eps behind. Jeez.

While Fury Road is certainly not the best picture of the year, I'd say it was the most enjoyable picture of the year. I loved it. And if it does';t win for cinematography, I'll want to know why. (Plus those crazy ass stunts! All of that insanity was real.)
