Ordinary thoughts

Yesterday I saw half of Django Unchained. So now I have a good reason to wonder why I have been fascinated by languages. See they they say Tarantino among other things likes westerns, samurai movies, pop culture in general, and Uma Thurman's feets but have no one said he seems to like language so too? In Kill Bill he had Uma and Lucy Liu talk Japanese and how is it with Mandarin and Cantonese (the old man on the mountain)? While in Inglourious Basterds and Django Christoph Waltz speaks several European language.

But I like language since I want to become Christoph Waltz when I grow up? Playing that European gentleman? (It ended so well in the movies, both when he was the good guy and the bad guy.) The problem is partly that I am really bad at languages, I sucks. Chemistry and biology on the other hand I was good at, and I like chemistry and biology too. Plus I think the world needs chemists and biologist more than it need some guy who can speak four languages (and to be clear, I'm not that guy). The different is that language is something one theoretically can learn yourself. To become an organic chemist or a molecular biolog you need university education and for me that was an invincible goal. Now I should end before I become bitter over my faild studes.

Btw it’s not silly and having too high thoughts about oneself to watch Django Unchained and think: “I’m aging better than Leonardo diCaprio”, right? That was a vain way of ending an entry that begone with a movie about such a serious subject as slavy. But it’s not like Django Unchained is 12 years a slave.

Gosh, you are so right, Leonardo diCaprio is really aging quite badly. :(

Too much partying perhaps.
