Color pallete

The wooly mamoth is an ancestor of the modern elephant that lived during the ice age. Name one possible reason for why the species died out.

Because it got too hot.

Okay, that sucked. I had the idea for that to be this big dramatic thing, but it didn't work. I just watched The Weather Man, and lemmie tell ya, it's nothing like Anchorman.

The Bow is a fucking symbol.

If I've learned one thing from movies and sessions screaming at the moon and English class, it is that everything is a symbol. A pair of sunglases. An empty feild. A christmas decoration that has been hanging outside of a house for god knows how many years. A panda. Everything at least has the potential to be a symbol. For an epoch of time, a confined perception of reality, an event that repeats itself in your mind over and over again, a person...

I hate symbolism. I love it and I hate it. It must be a curse that comes with being in tune with all things dramatic - Being able to turn anything (and most often everything, wether with will or against it)into a symbol for something else. Makes life seem too much like a movie. Life isn't a movie though. All it really does is take you away from the reality of all things and makes real life all the harder to live in.

Oh well. I might be able to get a damn good job as a director at this rate.

Point is... I seem to have a really good knack for picking out some fucked up movies. The Weather Man is only the latest one. Fight Club, Adaptation, Weekend, Garden State, Falling Down. Any of those movies that have a soundtrack made by hippies who used to live in a ghetto, and generally has the main character living on the edge of stability, fucked up life of the past on one side, brand new life of promise and joy on the other, even though they can't seem to figure out the life changing fact that's oh so obvious to most observers.

In the good ones, that character goes totally apeshit and either shoots themselves, or tricks someone else into shooting them. Those are the ones that I like most I think.

Anyway, life moves on...

fucking bathtub-symbol.

Hot damn, you're right! It does look just like a brain down there!
