I watched Solaris last night -- the remake. Hey, guess what... I cried again! I could probably watch Booty Call or something like it and bawl my eyes out. surreal I liked Solaris. To sum up the premise of this scifi:

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
George Clooney is a psychologist sent by a company to investigate why their employees on this space station are unresponsive for the most part. The space station is floating above this planet of strange energy fields called Solaris. The company's already sent an armed mission to check... and they never came back.

I won't completely spoil it except to say it examines the nature of personal memory in relationships, death and consciousness.


I dreamt early this morning of my family... and easter chocolate. I had this giant hoard of easter chocolate, so much my sister was hiding some of it from me (and I don't even *like* chocolate that much). I was wandering off to talk to my parents and find out which kinds of chocolate they'd like. I gave my mom a cream egg. My dad asked for a KitKat and ended up with this little stub of one stick of KitKat. I felt so bad for being greedy, especially since I had so much more chocolate. He seemed happy with the little piece.

I'm pretty sure the dream was inspired by Solaris. It made me wonder about my perception of my dad, how it differed from how he saw himself. I thought about the things about him that I didn't know, his secret fears, wishes, and memories. It makes me think of the importance of family and friends communing together, sharing our views through our individual lenses in a loving way, banishing our mutual isolation if only briefly. I guess that's the point of narrative and history.

I'm not sure any of that made sense.

I feel like I watched that movie, and yet I remember nothing. I don't think I loved it.
I think that I can't do the trip, I'm too conflicted to be able to really enjoy it, and I think I want the time later on. maybe if I had more time to plan ahead. I'll wait and see what he says after he does some more thinking. He didn't just get married, and I talk to him often enough that I don't feel like I never see him, and I did just see him last weekend in NY, so I think I'm ok with passing on it. We'll see what he says.
-Um, you do recall that I end every single comment I ever make on the site with signing my name, right? I don't imagine how you could out me. tongue
