Tonight I went and saw Lost In Translation for the second time. By myself. There were two other couples in the theatre when it was playing, but only one couple was there at the end of the film. When I left, my car was in the parking lot on the side by itself. No other cars near it. Having a digital camera right then would've been wonderful.. The rest of the shopping center, which is the biggest and most populated one here, was pretty much completely empty; and it was pleasantly cold out, the moon was a white blob covered by clouds.
I think it was one of the most intense experiences of my life. The movie helps me to come to terms with the fact that life is a series of fleeting moments which may seem unrelated. But oh how untrue that is, and even if things are unrelated, each individual happening is worth something beyond what can be understood if you look at it for it's face value.
I wish I had something to hold onto like Mr. Murray and Ms. Johannson.
Even if I have to be hopelessly Lost to achieve it..
I wonder if anyone else is as Lost as I am.

for the inner world of thought is one

I understand that all too well, yet I wish I could act as if I did.

I think I'll go see it again tomorrow. Would anyone care to join me??

you'll have to tell me about your experience with whales. i don't know why, but seeing whales up close would make me really happy.

i love office space. i own that movie and it comes in comedy central all the time, so no matter what, i end up watching it at least once a month. speaking of office space, i'm about to apply for a weekend bartending job at tgif. do you really have to wear a minimum amount of flare?

"fascination fascination
and everything i do i'm fascinated with
that's why i pass the hated wasteland with a grin
cause in the end i got my passions
while you splash in a puddle
tryin' to pick apart the puzzle...
fascination fascination
and everything i do i'm fascinated with
that's why i pass jaded competitors
who initiate disturbance with a smirk
cause i feel i got direction in my work."
