Since I spend so much of my time sitting and waiting for something to do and since Netflix is so easy and actually available to stream at my desk, I started on the list of "1001 Movies to Watch Before you Die" as a little stupid project.
I started it today and my first movie to watch was......
"An Andalusian Dog" which was done by Salvador Dali around 1928.
What an odd film. It is a short 16 minutes and kind of put into silent film some of the pictures in Dali's head. He still kind of freaks me out but I have always liked his art. Black and white and grainy but it starts with the picture of a man slicing into a woman's eyeball with a straight edge razor and is random and strange. Kind of whimsical and demented at the same time.
I give it 4 stars out of 5 solely for the artistic quality and the fact that it was Dali.

Catching Fire
Took me a day and a half at work to finish this one and again, it was a super book! My attention never wavered and I was reading as fast as I could to see what would happen next. I loved how the Tributes banded together from the start to pull off an uprising without even realizing they were part of it. I knew something was brewing though and was so anxious to find out what it was. I enjoy seeing Katniss starting to realize that she DOES have very strong feelings for Peeta and seeing the relationship grow into a real one is interesting. Very good book. Will start the last one tonight and probably have to stay up all night so I can finish it.
