I am going away for a week to visit with my friend Rachel, who delivers mail for a living, in Exeter. We are going to try and sort each other's lives out. Who knows, maybe I'll come back with some answers.
I will leave you with my favourite sentence of the week:
'The after-images left by tactile pleasure or pain - affect that takes place to the side of the action - behave like hyphens, lying in-between one act of contact and another.'
- Marina Warner, L'Atalante (BFI Film Classics, 1993)

or rather affect that overwhelms action in my case - good words to ponder, monsieur
I do love Waking Life - I noticed that several of the characters (my favorite ones actually) also show up in Richard Linklater's debut Slacker
I've just discovered something called The Criterion Collection - a re-release of astonishing classic cinema on DVD format ..... I've been picking titles up like mad - any suggestions? it comes in pretty pricy at $40 a pop - but comes with lots of extra material
I bought Tarkovsky's Solaris - and some italian neorealism that I won't mention cause I know you dislike
-------------
edited to mention aforesaid Italian neorealism Pier Paolo Pasolini's Mama Roma
