movements

the past couple weeks has been busy containing my passed birthday(the fifth) spent with my parents and sisters who came up to visit, and apartment hunting, which is insane. it's been a bizarre time, and it appears the process might soon be ending. gabe, lil tyghe and i are sending off paperwork for a place near downtown brooklyn, and if all the beauracratic cogs turn the right way we'll have a place. moving in sometime around the fifteenth, money issues pending.

i watched labyrinth last night(certainly not for the first time). i had tried to get my hands on it a few weeks ago but had had trouble, put it off, then joked about it with my sisters(without actually bringing it up, jokes on it were made as a natural reaction to a situation - word), and then looked again and got it. it had been over four years since my last viewing, and as i've found with a few other childhood favorites that i loved just as much in high school/college, the enjoyment is more distant now. like i'm enjoying remembering how i enjoyed it, rather than the connection being direct.

it also underlined the point for me that women get more attractive as they age. sure at a certain point later in life the old-age process begins, but i really see the prime of peoples' lives as being their thirties and forties. this i state merely from my own perspective, and without delving into academic justifications or lines of reasoning. within the nerd realm i find it very interesting in juxtaposition to 1: the average human life expectancy of 100 yrs ago(then 200 yrs ago, then 500, then 2000, etc) and 2: the view of marrying/baby age and its relation to the prime of one's life for my parents' generation, and that of my grandparents'.

i was thinking on this just because teenage jennifer connoly, while cute for a kid, is so much more attractive today. by leaps and bounds. i'm looking forward to the years that are on their way.
