Secretly I want to be a redhead...

With a beautiful pale skin and poisonous green eyes,
seriously.
< /randomness >

Recently I saw adaptation, a spike jonze movie with Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep,
both not my favorite actors, but here they were actually pretty good.
The movie is all about Charlie Kaufman, who's trying to write a screenplay for the book 'the orchid thief'.
(this movie made me appreciate orchids ,totally )
He wants a movie about flowers, no complicated plots, characters who undergo big changes, high speed car chases or dramatic romances ... just flowers. He ends up in writing a movie about himself while writing a movie, clever.
As I stated before, i don't like Meryl Streep , except in this movie, she really has some good lines
like :
" There are too many ideas and things and people. Too many directions to go. I was starting to believe the reason it matters to care passionately about something, is that it whittles the world down to a more manageable size. "

or when she's panicking : "I want to be a baby again. I want to be new. I WANT TO BE NEW. "

This made me think, about re-starting life, how I would change it (hence the redhead thing).
What I wished is that I had a life in every epic era in history , how marvelous that would be!
I would start in the Roman era , for they are way cooler than the greeks . point.
The renaissance would follow, I still would be settled in Italy, Venice, or Florence maybe.
Than a big time jump for 18th century France, to see the revolution.
I also would go to 19th century London, to see the industrialization , and for Victorian fashion ...obviously .
To end with the 20th century ,every decade is so different and fascinating : hippie sixties, new wave 80's ...
I wished I had seen them all .

Dat heb ik ook zo hard! Ik kan soms echt zo jaloers worden als ik denk aan van die geweldige gebeurtenissen in het verleden waar ik niet bij kon zijn. Als ik 1 ding mocht wensen, zonder beperkingen, zou het echt tijdreizen zijn.
