Lovely sounds
My favorite song right now.
Definitely getting a classical guitar as soon as I can scrape up some money. I love the sound, and it is so much more fun to play. Don't get me wrong...I love my seagull acoustic, but a classical guitar would be fantastic to have.

Requiem for a Dream
Quick blog:
Watched Requiem for a Dream last night, had to watch it twice to really pinpoint what I felt about the film. It is a film adaptation of the novel of the same title, written by Hubert Selby, Jr. Starring Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, and Marlon Wayans, and directed by Darren Aronofsky, I would say this is quite a masterpiece film. You really feel connected to the characters as they are caught in between the self induced desperation and delusion, and the hard fact of reality. Portraying different forms of addictions, the film is beautiful in the way it was filmed with the use of many montages of short shots. Requiem also progresses very well, showing how the characters changed with time, and how the ultimate ending occurred.
Thus after all of that, I can only say one thing: This was a beautiful film

Let the Right One In
As it was Halloween just yesterday, in the spirit I wanted to watch a vampire movie. So after a little while of searching rotten tomatoes for some decent reviewed vampire movies, I decided to watch "Let the Right One In."
As a fan of foreign films, I really enjoyed this one. As the craze of Vampire/Romance movies continues (aka: Twilight), Let the Right One In trumps any other I've seen...
Go watch it. now.
