bearshortyParents went on theater/opera tickets buying phase this afternoon and I joined them. We will go see “War Horse” next Saturday and there will be an opera in October. Yay. While I was at it, I got tickets for opera for the Spring. I wanted to see the new production of “La Traviata” for a while and I didn’t realize Hvorostovsky will sing in it this year. That means not as many tickets left and good thing I ordered now. Mama will definitely will go with me and I can make it her birthday present this year even when the Opera itself is not until May.
Bear finally started looking at potential apartments for us and sent me a few links. I think we are thinking Brooklyn more than Queens because of the commute. But the good thing is that he is actually taking initiative or trying to. I was in such dreadful mood all week because I thought that he might not do this and still be too scared and I really can’t be in the same place with our relationship anymore no matter how much I love him. And after thirteen years together (it will be thirteen years in a few weeks) it was really painful even imagining that that would be it. Now I have a ray of hope and maybe we can actually do this. Everything feels so tentative right now, I can’t deal with it other than not think about it too much. But at least I have hope.
“Shelter” So sweet a movie. A story about growing up and realizing what you want and not just being stuck. Family obligation and expectations are sometimes hard to overcome. A sweet romance too that helps Zach, the main character, to figure out who he wants to be. I loved the quiet acting in this movie too. Highly recommend it.
Torchwood S4E7 Jack episode! There was too little Jack in the previous ones so I was looking forward to this. It got stuck in the middle a bit but I was going to rewatch anyway. (I think I missed a scene where Jack and Angelo go after the alien in both viewings) Wow. I loved this episode. First of all, we got Jack seduction – which was ridiculously hot. And Gwen and Jack conversations were awesome. And Rex and Esther saving the day. I like that Esther was so practical in saving the day. NinaVisitor! How is Angelo still alive – he should be over 100 – more 11? But Jack is the Blessing. And we saw the triangle. So the plot is advancing. When Jack was killed over and over I actually wanted to cry – poor Jack. It was the most terrible thing yet. (I couldn’t watch it the second time). Angelo – what did you do? So Angelo was the first man Jack came back for. (it did remind me of what he said to Ianto in Season 2). Although the timeline is a bit shady, actually – Jack says he is 700 and a fixed point. I did like Angelo up to the point he killed Jack. But he wasn’t a bad man, either. I liked his conversations with Jack, especially how Jack tries to cheapen things and Jack actually apologized. And all discussions about God. Jack leaving him made perfect sense too, after all that torture. How did Angelo except Jack to stay after that? This episode was so good. And another Welsh joke. I know it was not deliberate, but airing this episode on Ianto’s birthday is a little wrong. Ianto hated when Jack died.
