Missing: Giant ball in the sky

[rebness]

I watched Super last night. We all thought it was a straight-up comedy along the lines of Kick-Ass. It's not. We were kind of traumatised by its unrelenting darkness but laughed hard. Liv Tyler, though. <3

So life is plodding along, being consistent and stuff. I'm still looking for change, but in an 'hey, it's autumn soon' way. I swear that I have not seen a clear, sunny day since June. It's been overcast for WEEKS now. I'm going to scream. I need sunlight, I need some gentle summer sun before we're consigned to the depths of winter again. This country, you guys! This tiny stupid island constantly covered in cloud, spat on by rain. I'll end up taking a cheeky break in Bulgaria or something when we get back from Russia because I NEED SUN.

Anyway, here's a reminder of when the UK actually does have sunlight in March-June. It's some snaps of my local church graveyard, which I've been meaning to upload forever. Going on the daffodils, I presume it's March. Anyway, Belfast next!

By daffodils, I assume you mean crocuses, lol :D

I love wandering through graveyards, as well. It's life-affirming in a weird way, to read how old some folk lived to be, then it hits hard when the next grave contains a child only a few years or even months old. I've been tracing my family tree for about six months now and have laughed and cried at discovering nuggets of information about my ancestors' lives. They were real people, not just names and that's the way graveyards make me feel.

Thanks for the photos. Which church is it?

These pictures are gorgeous. I always love your photo posts.

Absolutely beautiful photos. Thanks so much for sharing!! Makes me want to get back to the UK and Ireland to see it for realz this time, not just traipsing about London and pretending that's civilization. I loved Glasgow the last time I got to go there...I want to see more. The area around where you live is stunning.

One day, right? I'm hoping to get back abroad after I finish at Naropa. Maybe attend the London Jacques LeCoq school or something.

I hope you get some sun soon!

Gorgeous cemetery!

I wanted to watch Super but then I kept hearing about dark and odd it was and I don't know. :/

Love the boneyard. My little town has two that I like to walk in. Nice and quiet there. lol

The first picture is now my new wallpaper. I find it relaxing.

This is gorgeous! I also agree with Mum's sentiments. Cemeteries (maintained ones) are actually quite nice to stroll through.

So I went to read the Wikipedia summary of Super, as I frequently do with films that I'm not going to see but I want to know what happens. And it says: "Libby ends up raping Frank while the two are in costume. Going in the bathroom to vomit, Frank encounters a vision of Sarah in the toilet and decides that now is the time to rescue her from Jacques."

Okay then.

*contended sigh* I do love a nice graveyard. Isn't the script beautiful on those headstones?

Looking forward to the Belfast pics - could you upload me a zipfile sometime, as I remember my camera batteries had died that day so I don't have pics myself!

Also, they've just published a very useful booklet guide to the cemeteries of Belfast; the PDF is here: http://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/cemeteries/cemeteriesbooklet.pdf
