I was in the weirdest mood last night....

I've never been drunk, but I think I got pretty close to what it'd feel like last night. I was so dizzy that sitting on the chair was rather tricky. I barely had a straight thought, and lacked the ability to follow what I was doing.
Why throw your money on alcohol, when your own body can simulate the same effects ? ^_^;

.. I am resting, it's just that my cold is enjoying my company far too much to go away quickly =\
So worry not about me, I'm not doing anything that is jeopardizing my health *nods*

Well, I don't have any questions as of yet. But if I do, then I'll be sure to come running to you James. It's already spawning thoughts in my head, which indicates that I'll be able to come away with something. It may not be what everyone else has gotten from it, but maybe there is more than one thing to walk away with ?

When I sat through it a second time, taking random notes, it was so much easier to follow. I really don't recommend seeing this movie when you're in a fever frenzy ^_^;
Too bad I had to give it back, there's still stuff playing in my mind that I want to go back and check... I also need to check my bank account >__>;

As I was putting down various thoughts, I realised that I'm not sure what the definition of "philosophical" is. Because I was sitting there marvelling in the "psychological" issues, only to later wonder if those two really are separate things.

Dictionary search on Philosophy:

1. Love and pursuit of wisdom by intellectual means and moral self-discipline.

philosophy
\Phi*los"o*phy\, n.; pl. Philosophies. [OE. philosophie, F. philosophie, L. philosophia, from Gr. ?. See Philosopher.] 1. Literally, the love of, including the search after, wisdom; in actual usage, the knowledge of phenomena as explained by, and resolved into, causes and reasons, powers and laws.

Note: When applied to any particular department of knowledge, philosophy denotes the general laws or principles under which all the subordinate phenomena or facts relating to that subject are comprehended. Thus philosophy, when applied to God and the divine government, is called theology; when applied to material objects, it is called physics; when it treats of man, it is called anthropology and psychology, with which are connected logic and ethics; when it treats of the necessary conceptions and relations by which philosophy is possible, it is called metaphysics.

Dictionary search on Psychology:

1. The science that deals with mental processes and behavior.

psychology

\Psy*chol"o*gy\, n. pl. Psychologies. [Psycho- + -logy: cf. F. psychologie. See Psychical.] The science of the human soul; specifically, the systematic or scientific knowledge of the powers and functions of the human soul, so far as they are known by consciousness; a treatise on the human soul.

To me Philosophy has been about searching for knowledge, processing information.
Psychology has been what happens when you attain certain knowledge/information. Your reaction to it.

.... am I correct in my way of thinking ? Reading the dictionary's definition both affirmed and made me doubtful, at the same time *lol* I guess they all tie into each other at some point.

Wow, I'm thinking. Maybe it's all a jumble of mess, but it's still labelled thinking ~_^

Favourite scenes from the movie

* The "Engineering Level scene", in Zion.
* The "Building scene", when the Keymaker is talking about all the doors. I can't put words on it at this particular moment, but everything he said sent shivers down my spine. I'm sure those who've seen it get what I'm saying.


The more I'm thinking about this, the more I realise that I need/want to dive deeper into this... universe, in lack of a better word. I think it'd do me good.
I was given "The Animatrix", but I think I'll hold of watching that one till after I'm done with the three main movies.

... I still need to see "The Last Samurai" some more...


No matter what length your hair is, I Love Ya'll Lots !
And I want pictures, Charmi ;p
