{27082001}I hardly ever watch tv anymore.
But when I came home earlier on from a very busy day at work, The Sound of Music was on BBC2. I must have been about eight when I saw this film for the first time. It was the first 'real movie' I have ever seen. Consequently it was my favourite.While watching part of it now I thought "yeah, this really is a very good film". Ok, it is not very up to date, and ok, Julie Andrews needs a flashier hair cut and yes, the children walk around dressed in the ugliest curtains you have ever seen... but it keeps fascinating me. It is so, what is the word... innocent. I remember wishing to be one of those children.
My favourite scene is one of the last ones, in which the family sings in this musical contest, situated at a hall that looks like it's part of the abbey. The hall is surrounded by German soldiers, waiting to arrest them immediately after they have stopped performing. The contrast of the children's gorgeous singing and the threatening atmosphere... brilliant.I love this 'jam and bread' song. Do you think Napster would ... ?
Hm. Never mind.They should though.
Yesterday I talked to Hans. He said something about me - more precisely about my diary- that upset me. It shouldn't have. He then sent me this song - Beautiful Friend from the Cranes. Of course then I had to ruin the effect of this sweet gesture by not being able to open the file... *bites lip*
I think it might make him happier if he would get some more hits on his diary? Go for it people! There's some interesting stuff for you to pick up and think about.*

She touches me as if I were herself, her own. She has not realized yet, that fearful thing, that I am the other,
she thinks we are all of one piece.
It is painfully untrue.D.H.Lawrence, Manifesto, VII.
