Day Two, and boy do I have alot to type--if I can remember all of it! I'll begin with this; yesterday I borrowed four DVD's for myself; The Godfather; Hannibal; Fight Club; and The Matrix Revolutions. None of them have been viewed before, but I have flipped through the first few pages of Fight Club once in a bookstore and I've read Hannibal. You should, just by reading the titles, realise that I was in for an experience. Not a mind-blowing one, mind you, let's just say mind bending.
Ok, enough foreplay, down to the meat: I've watched Fight Club and Hannibal and I'm in a daze. The usual daze, a little awestruck, shaken; I just pull back a little as I try to organise my thoughts into a workable order. I NEVER expected the schiznophrenia in Fight Club! It was really amazing! And the acting was top! The directing was too, a little loose points here and there, but I don't care; It was good!!! Now i really really really want to go back an buy the book.
Now, onto Hannibal; this time I tried my best to watch the movie as a movie and not to think of the book too much. I'm really sorry to all the Hopkins fans out there, but my vision on Dr. Lecter is a little more confident; Hopkins just isn't as terrifying as my imagined Hannibal. All in all, I like the movie; the director had a vision and saw it through. I would have prefered the ending in the book brought to life though, not the least of my reasons is that it would have been MUCH more sexy, but alas it was not to be.
One theme,that I know I knew before but have only just named, is the emotional detachment: I eat the rude. I like fine food. I like to be comfortable. No fluff about it. Done. I like that aspect, I really do like it quite a bit, enough to want to try it out sometime. Not the eating part though!
But, I think as a result of the two movies, I've had a eureka moment. I have found a question, the question! One that everyone knows a little too well for their own comfort because its always asked in hindsight. But it seems like a question everyone should be asking, all the time.

OK, ok, ok. I have not been faithful: I admit it. And so, as an act to show my repentance, I propose a great plan: for the next 7 days I will add a new post! For a whole week I will sit at this computer and type exactly whatever comes into my head. Yes: I will!
You see, I had a little problem before: I was worried about who I knew would read it, and what they would think, and how what I wrote would reflect upon me, and how some things are best left unsaid, and how disgraceful it would be for someone to discover another side of me from this blog and a whole set of other nonsense! Nonsense, I tell you! From now on: NO CENSORSHIP! Fuck it! Fuckity fuck fuck fuck fuck! Fuck the fuckest fuck shit! Argh!
Haha! I've always wondered why doing something "wrong" had always been liberating for me, especially when there is a chance I might get caught! At first, a little apprehension, then as I get in the swing of things, just letting loose, then a it starts to peeter out: the pointlessness of it starts to embarass. Well, not "pointlessness"; doing something just for the sake of doing it is not pointless is it? There is a point, its just that but its definitely not for a "greater" purpose, it does not lead up to anything: when its done, its done.
Oh, I nearly forgot! Something happened: a girls was showing a spark, analysing an questioning the weird stuff I put up on facebook and msn just for that purpose (to draw questions out; to instigate) but after a second barrage from me, she just reverted to the usual rubbish. I was SO hopeful! Maybe I shouldn't have been so enthusiastic. Whatever. And afterwards she just dismissed it as curiousity. Argh!!! I was so hopeful!
Well, that's it for now! On the morrow!

ARGGHH!!! I just wrote up a post, then i lost my internet connection an the laptop!!
Now I don't want to type what I just wrote again, so what do i do?
Well, I haven't been totally faithful to this blog; my last post was June 11th! I want to talk about all of it but its the having to change my thoughts into words and then type them is what is keeping me back. OK; here goes.
Spain won! YAY! Venus won! YAY! Nadal won! YAY!
I was very pleased with all three results, very pleased.
I also had fun at a party. Lots of fun. Lots and lots of fun. The party was good. To say the least! The kiss still lingers...
It was long and just good. Great.
And I had some great food. Pomegranate glazed quail stuffed with foie gras and portobello mushroom with a pineapple syrup an sherry vinaigrette. Chicken mousse with gerkin and glazed beetroot, all on toast. Sample of chokas, all perfect.
Okay, my fingers are tired: Ciao for now!
