And torn up letters

I got around to watching the first day of the Swedish WRC stage today. Being the only snow stage this year it was set to be an interesting watch from the word go, it supported that by retiring champion Loeb into a snow drift and giving Latvala first place with a 48 second lead on Hirvonen in second. The day ended with the top four positions filled with Focuses, with five in the top eight overall. Just have to hope that the BP Ford team managed to keep those top two positions through Saturday and Sunday.

I finished watching Planetes today, it was a good series with a satisfying ending. Some of the characters grated on my nerves a bit but overall it was enjoyable.

Last night I watched the first part of the three part film 5 Centimetres Per Second, it is a truly amazing film that flawlessly reminds me why I like anime. The artistry and animation is on such a level of perfection that you could pause it at just about any random moment and be left with a fantastic piece of art, it is simply such a beautiful thing to watch that it completely revises your standards for all film making.
The story is so far a very by the books romance, but while it was unoriginal it did it in such a way that you couldn't really criticize it for doing anything wrong. The excellent voice acting gave it that absolutely necessary element of brilliance that made the entire thing an instant classic. It certainly was a tear jerker and had me welling up a couple of times, exactly the sort of thing I wanted to see and I am eagerly anticipating the second part tonight.

I think it was Nicola's final chapter today. I tried to call her just to chat and see how her day has been but she refuses to talk to me through anything but msn, and I am not going to lower our relationship to that of a twelve year olds. In her text messages she really is adamant that it is completely over, all because of her distressingly naive ideas about how relationships work.
It's hard to talk about her without using the phrase 'cold hearted bitch', because I love her to bits and would do anything for her even now after she broke my heart, but when you care about someone that much and they won't even talk to you with the slightest ounce of maturity on the god damn phone about what they've been up to, it kind of tests your faith. And how absurdly reminiscent that is.
So that's that, once again I get fucked over for trusting someone. It took a good long while for me to let my guard down, but once I did she swooped down and cut me in the face with no remorse. Reminding me once again that intentionally or unintentionally, everyone you ever meet can and will stab you in the back.
