Back in Salford now, back to work. Got two project deadlines next week and then an exam the following week. It's no sweat though, I'm gonna smash it.
Today I saw a beautiful sunset from the top of Disco Towers. Since I've been living here I've seen so many beautiful skies. I wish I had a camera that would capture them all so I could show them to you, but the one on my phone just doesn't do them justice. I'll post some of the better ones for you here. These are actually from about a month ago. Before I came here I thought Salford was going to be grim, but with these kind of skies I feel like I'm on holiday in some exotic location.
I just watched Dancer in the Dark, a film starring and with music composed by Bjork. It's a weepie. And damn it's a good film. I think I just 'got' Bjork. She has a tendency to annoy me, I never really liked her style, but now I've seen this film it's boosted my respect for her.
Anyway, enjoy the skies. The photos aren't that bad really are they?

Yeah, Dancer in the Dark is an absolutely amazing film. My favourite film of all. Some people criticise its plot as being a bit weak, but I think they are missing the point. It's an allegorical tale.
I found it really moving. I would agree about the plot, I would say it's a bit unbeleivable at times, though I didn't notice that while I was watching.
I never used to like her style, I thought it was a bit fake and over the top. Now I think it's just really expressive. She sings in an unconventional style - it's quite childish, playful, experimental.
I also think she played the part in the film really well.
Watching the film helped me understand a bit more of what she is all about.
