Ugh...
My brain feels like it's melting and oozing out of my skull. Yesterday morning, I was miserable though symptoms eased up toward noon. While this doesn't include the body aches of a flu or anything, it's taking a lot out of me.
Tangentially related to brain-melting, I watched The Fountain a couple nights ago.
It's a pretty movie. I have also used the word "trippy" to describe it. I keep trying to summarize it and failing. There's more that happens than what you see on screen, and what you see may or may not be what's actually happening.
It's a story of love with themes of immortality, acceptance of death, and rebirth. But I get the feeling it was deliberately designed in an "artsy" way such that the audience could interpret things differently.
In my case, the more I think about it, the more I consider that two of the three "time periods" in the movie may not be "real" per se - rather one is a story being written based on legend and current events in the author(s)'s life, and the other is metaphor representative of acceptance. But it's quite easy to take them literally, too. In fact, I am accustomed to taking what I see in a movie as "what is happening" within the setting of the movie
