The only holy thing about me is my socks

dormida RPS... mmmm.
1) Just watched The Shawshank Redemption. What an incredible movie! Just so fantastically done, in every single way. Plot, acting, directing, just everything. Truly beautiful. Morgan Freeman is really an astonishingly good actor, and I had never seen Tim Robbins in anything where he really got to show off his chops before. So that was very impressive.
This seems a good time for a story... my senior class asked Tim Robbins to do a speech at our graduation (someone in my grade has a parent who knows him... yeah, ridiculous) and he couldn't do it, but he felt bad about it, so he taped himself speaking to us, with some advice and what have you, and mailed it to us. We watched it during Senior Parents' night. He didn't have anything dreadfully interesting to say, but it was still very kind and thoughtful of him. So he's going in my plus column :)
On a typically shallow note, I must say that my inner slasher was absolutely *screaming* during this movie - I am fully convinced that Red and Andy were in love. It was just so obvious, and almost text instead of subtext. It really just made the movie that much more fun to watch :) So yes, if you haven't seen it, see it!
2) SHOEBOX. Shoebox had an update yesterday, and I read it, and nearly died. It's one of my favorite installments yet. A gorgeous mix of poignant and beautiful and funny. As usual, but this one was particularly affecting.
( I'm cutting for fanfic spoilers...that amuses me )
I guess that's it for my random rambling. Off for some slashy goodness!
