hey, fellas. hope everyone had a good thanksgiving. to everyone who posted here last time round : thanks, i really appreciate it. didn't really do all that much myself for the break; watched videos and read, in between bouts of sleep and bingeing on dessert.

'affliction' is really good. watching nick nolte's character slip into madness in the bleak grey of new england was kind of depressing. he was great, though. one of the better movies i've seen in a long time. the kind of cinema that i really like for the most part.

also watched 'taxi driver'. yeah, i know, it's a classic, should have watched it earlier. but hey, i finally got around to it. watched it right after affliction, which allowed me to see de niro's character descend into his own special brand of insanity. lovely. great movie on the whole. although seeing a young jodie foster was kind of horrifying; she had this uncanny resemblance to one of my ex girlfriends, right down to the mannerisms. (and no, my ex girlfriend was *not* a hooker)

i've been reading one of the Delta Green series ('Dark Theaters'). These lyrics were in one of the stories, and I liked them, so here goes :

I said I loved you-I lied
I said I loved you- fuck, I lied
I loved myself better than you
Because of that, you died.

I love the jacket, I love my nurse
I love my master, love my curse
I love my fucking medication
I love creamed corn and sedation

And here I am-in bliss....
Here I am, in bliss
All I've got now is me
And funny thing....
It's you that I miss
It's you I miss
It's you I miss....

Take care, guys.
