Saw Cronenberg's Spider... found it way more disturbing than "Element of Crime" or "Mulholland Drive". Or any Cronenberg movie so far. It made me think about the way mental disorders (generally speaking) are portrayed in movies. Not even speaking of the "fishing for Awards" Hollywood school of psycho movies; artist's fascination for madness is so great even in the movies produced outside this system, madness...

Ugly November weather today again... something that's not totally rain, not exactly mist lurks behind the windows. It's probably partly made of raggedy clouds, too.

The weather of which you speak is a part of me ... its my essence. I do not expect any to understand, but know that all must be part of the whole for the whole is all parts of everything.
... and yes food is also a significant aspect in my life, however, any correlation was fully unintentional.

I will most likely change my pic soon. Please know that is it is not to be rude, but rather to be contrary ... for that is also a party of me.

This week: re-read Robert Holdstock's "Lavondyss," second and (in my opinion) best book in the "Mythago Woods" cycle. In the first book, the "myth" was exposed, somehow, lenghtier than necessary... this one keeps a perfect balance between mythic aspects, action and emotion... or so I felt. And it's also a book dealing cleverly about how a teenager builds her own self, and learns where and...

Badalamenti?! That's awesome! I didn't mean for the story to be a radio play but wow.. I could see how it works.

They have surgery techniques nowadays that can remove trepanning scars.

Namedropping is a must in SG journals...
After mentioning Morgan, the merriest SG of them all, and Dave, of Hollywoodian fame, today I'll drop with affected thoughtlessness:
Isn't ratsonjulia's journal the best journal here....? (ok, Dave, let's say one among the very best)

Word, Dave, last week was a fun week of hampsterness indeed... but hampsterness isn't for ever. Only Morgans are for ever.

Word, Dave, last week was a fun week of hampsterness indeed... busy week ahead, it's probably time to morph into a beaver and be eager.
Again, "daylight licked me into shape"... so, I'm not a werecreature anymore. Or so it seems.... it seems, as well, I have to bid farewell to my planned sideshow career. Strangely enough, I'm still feeling the urge for doing small hamsterlike leaps when listening to some certain tapes...

I do hamsterlike leaps all the time, I think they are good for ones health.

such a face. such a face.
ok so the career is a bust. perhaps a hobbie then? you know what they say, once a hampster always a hampster.

Interesting.... of all the ideas that I recently submitted to people I know, none had as much success, none was so unanimously approved as the one that crossed my mind last evening and I posted in this journal: starting a career as a Singing Hamster...

indeed, I see the problems with the short arms. have you submitted the idea as a career path for yourself, or as a storytellin concept, because you'd better scoot to the copyright office before I make the animated series ofr children's book.

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that ain't afraid

I don't think you've really thought this thru, my friend. sure, being the Singing Were-hamster might be fun for a while--traveling the world, bringing joy to people's dismal little lives, snogging fuzzy little groupies, trashing hotel rooms (or at least nibbling on the bedspreads)--but I don't want to see you on VH-1's "Behind the Music" someday saying things like: "I had me a solid gold exercise wheel & I traded it for just ONE MORE HIT of kibble...just freakin' TRADED IT AWAY, man!" or "& there was this time, man, when we were staying at the Marriot & I was so loaded on kibble that I thought it'd be a great idea to push the piano into the pool, but I have these teeny little hamster arms & it took, like, a week & a half..."
actually, that'd be kind of cool. go for it!

where an I purcahse a folk-singing werehampster?

Slowly (more slowly than I expected) turning back to human form...
Still have pulsions for looking in the yellow pages for the "non-existent" rubric.
Another strange symptom: can't stop playing Nick Drake's "River Man" on my tape player.

You said a very nice thing a while back and I never responded, I don't think.
The news media suck, indeed. I'm surprised to hear that your news didn't cover the Wellstone death (murder?), though I can't say that our news organizations would be so kind if any of your politicians got axed...
Speaking of which, who are some of the good ones over there? Got any favorites? The Least Corrupt?
