'Let's guess the number of regrets a good life will acquire'
( - Lambchop, 'I haven't heard a word I've said')
Last night, seafood chowder (remember the Simpsons episode in the French restaurant? 'Showderrrrr!') and Japanese Story with Atsuko. It's not Lost in Translation, but we're in much the same territory. It takes me a while to warm to it, and it to me (to itself), but when a relationship shifts into another dimension with nothing but a glance of the eyes and the touch of a finger, we know we're in the presence of cinema. (Actually, Atsuko disagrees with me here: she thought it was exaggerated.) But the unexpected final act is a real wrench. Its message? The only message cinema ever told: life is short, but lookit how beautiful.

Had a sex dream last night, although I can't quite remember who it was I was having sex with. I believe we were interrupted before I could go down on her, however.

I guess that'd have to be all right by me'

My mom? Ah. She's still about, considerably older than me. We're very similar in many ways, perhaps that's the source of the friction. I despise her passive aggressive ways and the fact she has the emotional age of a 10 year old and throws tantrums. She's a strong woman, survivor of the Depression, abuse, family drama. I admire her and love her generous heart. So yeah, it's love-hate. We've had some pretty close moments over the years and some pretty horrible ones too. What can I say, family.
And who is this Atsuko? Sounds very exotic and intelligent. Please share.
