tim and i watched it on SBS last night, after watching the soccer (oooh, good game liverpool vs leeds utd, AND both Owen and Kewell!!). I guess we watched it coz of all the Oscar buzz - it wasn't too shabby. Got me thinking though about old people, in nursing homes and stuff. And it kinda, very sadly, is like they are just their waiting to die. like a sean penn quote from '21 grams' too, that i can't remember, but was along those lines. it's sad. all these people just sitting there, whether oblivious to the world or not, capable of doing anything or not. And so many lives just wasting away. I guess that's what you get with frail age - not something I look terribly forward to.
But I guess on the other hand there are plenty of older people living life to the full - doing all sorts of crazy and wonderful things. And that is something to celebrate. Older people are so valuable. When my Gma got Bells Palsy, and having thought it was a stroke, I thought more about my G'parents, and how tops they are. So I'm gonna go spend much more time with my other G'parents (since they're only in Eastwood rather than Old Bar). My G'parents are so awesome - so many stories!!
Harvie Krumpet was great. We saw it at Dendy and the director/animator lad was there. He was very nervous and cute.
