Music
I am at album 32 out of 500 and I do feel like I am around 30-40% enjoyment of the albums. I think that is quite good for this, especially due to how scoped my music choice is most of the time. Two big stand-outs out of these. Pulp was great. It was made up of all the bits I enjoy from British Pop and artist like Bowie. I really enjoyed this album. The only one was Avalon which had this awesome medieval, Arthurian feel. I actually couldn’t pick a favourite, I just enjoyed the album as a whole. Was a really fun feel. I did also enjoy the Eminem album but it was not my favourite (still firmly Curtain Call).
Movies
I finally finished another film, and this time it was actually from the list! Not only was it something I hadn’t seen before, I really enjoyed it. After some false starts at watching as I discussed in the last post, it was a great film. Sakura Ando was a stand-out for me. I felt for her so much in the first third of the film, her fighting against the school felt helpless and I really cared about her struggle. Lots of twists and turns and the film had, in my opinion, a hopeful ending. Really a beautiful film, incredible acting all round and some great child acting (which I truly think is a rarity in most films).
Video Games
Not played Red Dead at all in the last week but I should hopefully pick up a bit more in the next week with some work finishing up.
Books
Continuing the The Brothers Karamazov but still not got that deep into the story. I am in book 2/3 I think. The dynamics of the brothers is interesting for the moment, I think we are going to be in for an interesting story once it picks up.
