I saw the new Frankenstein the other day.
I thought the visuals were amazing. I first read the book on my own in the tenth grade, and later again in the 12th grade, where I wrote a paper on how I felt that Victor Frankenstein was at fault for the fates of the women around him in his adult years. I absolutely HATED Victor and love the book to bits. In the book I think that yes, both Victor and his creation were in the wrong, but I can't help but put most of the fault on Victor anyway. I think this is why I didn't mind the changes made in the movie too much. It was a different interpretation of the story. And I really liked that Elizabeth was explored more in the movie. I know some people read her relationship with the creation as romantic, but I think it was a mutual understanding that (to me) read as a paternal relationship that contrasts Victor's relationship with the creation.
I wish I could understand the symbolism behind Elizabeth's interest in bugs vs Victor's interest in creating life. Detail-oriented person vs big-picture person? Elizabeth focuses on what is while Victor focuses on what could be? Gotta think on it more.
So far I've only seen the movie once, but these are some thoughts so far.
I joined the gym at my school last week. The membership was part of my student fees and I never thought to use it before. 2 months left before graduation, trying to get the most out of it. My first visit alone I spent walking for almost an hour on a treadmill because I was too nervous to try out the weight machines (which was one of the main reasons for joining in the first place) in front of all these buff dudes. I'm already used to walking a lot so the hour flew by, the machine had Sudoku which I enjoy so I got to finish a puzzle in the meantime. Then I did fifty push ups in the locker room.
Something came up at my house so I've been staying at my grandparent's place since October. It feels like this was an unexpected detour in my life. It feels like some weird timeline shenanigan happened and now my life has been set on a new course, one that wasn't supposed to happen. Which is weird. I'm still the same person. I haven't had any permanent life changes since being here. It's barely been a month. But it still feels like I've been plucked out of what was supposed to be my main path. Its not good or bad. I just feel like I'm living a randomized event. Like something's changed when nothing has really. I'm just sleeping on my grandparent's coach.
I feel different, but I haven't changed. Its been a month. I've been put in a new context, and I think what's happening is that I'm reading my person in a different lighting so it feels like I'm taking in something different. Maybe its just a coming-of-age thing and I just happen to be going through it at a very strange time in my life (a humble fight club reference).
Winter depression is catching up to me. I've been practicing some guitar though so that's helped keep it at bay. I heard that there's a chance my area could see a bit of the Northern Lights, hope I get to catch them again.
Halloween wasn't too bad. Stuck some fake ivy vines on a hairband, put some green face paint on and BAM I was a tree. Handed out candy. Watched the Blue Jays lose the baseball game. Ate candy. went to bed. So not bad.
Went to the arcade in the end! Not a bad hangout spot, gotta invite more people over there. I've been wanting to go for a year now. Glad I got to check it out in the end. Left before the band played. Made me wish I was in a band. Maybe if the guitar lessons stick.
Got some peperomia cuttings from someone at school. have them in water right now, can't wait for them to establish roots. Should take around 2 weeks.
