oh and i rented "amadeus" monday. that was really good. i don't know how i'd never seen it before. although i dont know its historical accuracy. it could be entirely fictional for all i know. but i really liked it. i think my favorite scene was at the end when Mozart is dictating his last piece to Salieri and you see Salieri struggling to understand the genius in mozart. And depsite how much he hates him, he is simply enthralled listening to him work and is just on the edge of his seat to hear more. I don't really know if, at the end, he was even aware that he was killing him. salieri didnt seem to have that look of . . . badness on his face. i dont know. maybe i just missed it. it was just such an interesting relationship mozart and salieri had. it was like he treated mozart as if he were God Himself. in that his admiration for him couldn't even be expressed in words, but equally great was his hatred. anyway, i love seeing that kind of genius what it's capable of.

ah well. back to cleaning.
