ballet

Hmmm... So you know how female ballet dancers are ballerinas, i went off googling the male counterpart of that name.
Turns out that ballerina is the name for the 'principal female dancer of a company, the real male equivalent of "ballerina" is the "premier danseur", or the primary dancer in a company'
so... There isn't a male counterpart for that name... Which i shall now invent, and is now known as...

ballernado.

^__^ sweet.

ANYWAYS.
I'm blogging because i'm waiting for the youtube streaming to load, of what i hear you ask? The 1968 recording of the Swan Lake ballet. It's like a movie version of it. Yes, a ballet. It's pretty extreme, i notice how the primary female dancer (odette/odile) has absolutely nothing to do with the other female dancers, apart from the prince who is a remarkable image of barbie's boyfriend; ken
i also notice that the ballernados are extreme in the heights of their jumps, where they have to fit at least 2 twirls before they land. wows.

Ballernados lack in attention nowadays. SO i shall do my part and start googling famous ballernados. In which, in a few days, i shall report back with my findings.

Man their legs are made of like kryptonite @__@.


Another thing i've noticed about my habits, is my obsession with reading the 'Trivia' section on imdb where you see the behind-the-scene facts and figures of movies. I tend to almostalways do this after watching a movie. And if it has absolutely anything to do with real-life people or events, i switch over to wikipedia to read about it, and actually finish reading everything about it.
Like today, I read the long summary of Giacomo Casanova's life (after watching Casanova with the scrumptious heath ledger) which had extremely different story aspects. The movie served a more emphasis on his role as the king of seduction and getting into ladies' panties and of course finding love with the ultimate hotness independant female writer publishing works under a man's name *Sienna Miller<3* ending with an awful but entertaining reuniting-with-family-and-suddenly-running-away-from-government-with-them-and-with-lover-and-family scene.
Casanova's real life was completely different, yes he was a womanizer, but gambled alot, was exiled from Venice for 18 years, tried to enforce the lottery idea in several countries, escaped from prison, travelled quite a lot *mostly europe* where he was kicked out not after long and basically suffered some disease from too much sex (i think its too early in the timeline to claim it was HIV)
The only reason why we know about this dude is because he was stuck being a librarian for the last few years of his life where he wrote a memoir saying I am writing My Life to laugh at myself, and I am succeeding. [oh yeah, thats a quote] so if he didn't write about his life, we wouldn't use his name as a reference to a womanizer.

From movies, i also read about Anastasia's life and the Tsar family, Marie Antoinette, the Dutchess *forgot her name already, the movie just pinpointed to one of her many affairs*

hmmm... it always has to do with that side of the timeline.

Well, it shows movies aren't completely useless, i have profound knowledge of people in history! so shove it and move along and let me enjoy my movies~

I watched Freedom Writers last night. Cried me eyes out.
Urgh.
