Arrival (2016) dir. Denis Villeneuve

Now, I’m not so sure I believe in beginnings and endings. There are days that define your story beyond your life, like the day they arrived.

ARRIVAL (2016) dir. Denis Villeneuve

Arrival.

"Despite knowing the journey... and where it leads... I embrace it... and I welcome every moment of it."

"Let's say that I taught them Chess instead of English. Every conversation would be a game. Every idea expressed through opposition, victory, defeat. You see the problem? If all I ever gave you was a hammer... Everything's a nail."

"If you could see your whole life from start to finish, would you change things?

Maybe I'd say what I feel more often. But I... I don't know. You know, I've had my head tilted up to the stars for as long as I can remember. You know what surprised me the most? It wasn't meeting them. It was meeting you."

"We're so bounded by time, by its order. But now I am not so sure I believe in beginnings and endings."

A perfect rectangle February has come to an end. This month, while preparing my bujo spreads I did manage to stick to my theme which was a first for me. Also, this week I went to Starbucks for the first time in 4 months with my brother and Canelle (he might have pooped right outside though, I picked it up immediately but we did get some looks).

Phew! It’s finished! Thank you to @embergeist and @mllebree for your help with some of the ASL. It’s been fun dusting off the cobwebs and relearning some sign language I’d forgotten over the years. I’m still playing around with the best ways to have Quasi “talk.” A lot of sign language involves motion which is tricky in static images. I did leave out some pronouns here and there like “I, me, her, etc” just to try to avoid Quasi looking too much like an octopus. 

I think sometimes we get so caught up in how a translation can never be a copy of the original that we forget what an amazing job many translators do every day and how a good translation can add layers and meaning to the original and I think that's beautiful

I know it's been a while but I fixed Jalo's phonology and orthography.
