interest #100 - strictly ballroom
which is my favorite by far of Baz Luhrmann's Red Curtain trilogy. it's the only one that has a happy ending. and the dancing makes me happy.
once i saw this super fantastic lj layout with a Strictly Ballroom theme but i don't remember anymore who owned it.




if we'd had Strictly Ballroom (and that nifty-looking study guide) in the curriculum back when i was at school, i think my education would've been so much the better. *sigh*


interest #101 - sullivan/luthor
<— because when i say Sullivan/Luthor, i really do mean Sullivan/Luthor. i'm not terribly particular about which Sullivan with which Luthor. *evil*
btw, the icon up there (not the one to the left) is by Clara, ma Belle.

interest #80 - p[olly]j[ean] harvey
PJ did a good cover of the song below on her album with John Parish, Dance Hall at Louse Point; the song was originally Peggy Lee's.

"Is That All There Is?"

I remember when I was a girl, our house caught on fire.
I'll never forget the look on my father's face as he gathered me in his arms
and raced through the burning building out to the pavement.
I stood there shivering in my pajamas and watched the whole world go up in flames.
And when it was all over I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a fire?"

Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

And when I was twelve years old, my Daddy took me to the circus
'The greatest show on earth.'
There were clowns and elephants and dancing bears
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads.
And as I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing.
I don't know what, but when it was all over,
I said to myself, "Is that all there is to a circus?"

Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

Then I fell in love, with the most wonderful boy in the world.
We would take long walks by the river or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes.
We were so very much in love.
Then one day, he went away. And I thought I'd die — but I didn't.
And when I didn't I said to myself, "Is that all there is to love?"

Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

I know what you must be saying to yourselves.
If that's the way she feels about it, why doesn't she just end it all?
Oh, no. Not me. I'm in no hurry for that final disappointment.
For I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you,
when that final moment comes and I'm breathing my last breath, I know what I'll be saying to myself,

Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is

The essence of romanticism is infinite longing.
— E.T.A. Hoffman, German writer

i love that. it explains a lot.

speaking of infinite longing...Viktor Krum has allegedly been found. this site doesn't seem to have very reliable reportage tho, because it also says "In the fourth book, Hermione falls in love with the head of Potter's quidditch team." who, Oliver?! what good news for credulous Oliver/Hermione 'shippers! really, media ppl make me a bit *headdesk*y sometimes.

also...Scabbers now Rupert's pet for real. :)

...

Billy Elliot was the most watched movie on UK terrestrial tv in 2003. <3
