Status.

We've been living here for five years and this is the first time we've gotten trick-or-treaters!  I guess that yard work kind of paid off, after all?

I have a day off. I am kind of almost working on my fic about Arthur's mother. And Arthur. And his tentatively budding friendship with Eames post-Inception. I am a horribly slow and lazy writer. There's something wrong in my brain that makes it so. Internet distraction factors in as well. But then, I also feel out of my depth, because the Inception world is very very far from mine.

It's upsettingly wet outside, considering I need to go out to buy cat food. But I need to go, because otherwise Markus will squeal and beep and chirp in agony tonight. There's no way I'm braving this waterfall all the way to the pet store to get him the diet food tonight, though - he'll get a couple cans of Friskies to tide him over. I'm sure he won't mind.

JGL quote about the hotel fight scene

I hadn't seen this before:

Built in the converted British airship hangar that Nolan has often used for a soundstage, the 100-foot-long hallway was suspended by eight huge, concentric rings that could turn a full 360 degrees. Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays Dom's meticulously dressed and prepared Lt. Arthur, fought stuntmen representing a defensive subconscious on wires while the shifting walls enhanced the hallucinatory weightlessness of the situation.

Gordon-Levitt, who trained to pull off the scene's physical demands, says the real key was remembering that Arthur was engaged in psychological combat.

"I wanted to do the sequences as the character," the grown-up "3rd Rock from the Sun" kid says. "He's very particular, fastidious, thought-through; he remains a step ahead of everything. And in these action sequences, he's dreaming, it's a mental thing. It's not like he can take on all of these physically bigger guards. But he knows he's dreaming and is, in effect, keeping his own subconscious in control. So it was about remaining calm, kind of cold stone efficient."
