tHERE is no such thing as should've, would've, or could've, unfortunately.

Life is full of regrets.

"Why Baby Why" was a bit of a surprise-- "White LIghtnin" is one of my favs.

Scotland - Isle of Tiree - Heanish, to be precise. It generally looks a lot like the West Coast of Ireland. What were your parents doing in Donegal, if I may ask?

I haven't read much quantum ontology - just a New Scientist article a month back. However I believe there's a growing lit in the area and a crossover into zen. I like that kind of stuff. I especially like that quantum mechanics has snuck in there, established itself as a scientific discourse and subverted (or is in the process of subverting) the dominant paradigm. And I think that cats are the perfect example of how mentally limited we are.

French cinema? I went through a big Truffaut phase when at school. (Ah, Fanny, how I fancied you.) A bit ashamed to say though that other than a couple of Tatou jobbies I haven't seen anything french since then, despite my Mum living there, my sister being married to a frenchman and my family being generally more than a bit frog. Le sigh. Oh, and I really like Levinas and turn my perfectly shaped nose up at Sartre. (But don't we all?) Are you phding, post-doctoring, fully fledged paid up lecturing or just lurking behind campus bushes with copies of Habermas and Levi-Strauss?

Ah, 'splains it re Juliana. I was livin' in the US at that time. There's almost a full decade of Brit culture that I am slowly catching up on - from Beckham to the Fast Show. Er. That's it.

Oo, got to do some work now... Later smile kiss

you should use that above profile picture someone made you-it's great! funny knowing you are crocked.

well if you lived in Philly and saved my house we could rent out one of the rooms as a bar. that would be great for income. tongue

ah i'm glad you laughed over those pictures! a bunch of my Ebay auctions just sold (good money too!) so i will be packaging tonight most likely!!!

ooooooooooh YES that comment from the movie. fuck it's so amazing. i need to hook up my DVD player and relive it. it's such a favorite and would be comforting now. love

kiss

I'm 6'4", so not too far behind you. When I was 25, my bodyweight was at a low of 142-lbs. I started eating better and better after than and lifting weights 4-times a week very seriously - first with a personal trainer, and then on my own once I got my feet wet. I ended up really loving it, and dedicated myself to the craft, and 4 years later ended up at 255-lbs of bodyweight. Since then I have gone up and down somewhat, and settled at around 230-lbs at the moment, but it's lean, strong, and comfortable on me. Allot of blood, sweat, tears, and food. ooo aaa

(open) e-mail to Kate this morning:

Morning.
Afternoon.
:-)
Hangover is not as bad as yesterday, or the day before, but still decided it was a better idea to take the day off and potter around, do my washing, gorge myself on toast and peanut butter and mess around on the internet rather than go to work. I am having Saturday on Monday and will...

I don't think I have the energy (read: the sobriety) to tell you about my surprisingly successful party last night, nor about how me and my oldest and best friend PCH stayed up until 2am Friday night drinking, chain-smoking and betting on Suicide Girls...

Yes, you take the cake of funniest ever drunk-writer. tongue tongue love So always remember when you are drinking, that you owe me a punch line! Just say anything, ha! tongue

Did you tell your buddy about astro-man?

Oh LORD and thanks for the first awesome comment about the fantasy. I figure since I have a compulsive problem with deleting my profile, this is just gold. Or something. tongue

I'm going to pack Valerie up soon! eeek

The Wisdom of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742-1799)

'The ordinary man is ruined by the flesh lusting against the spirit; the scholar by the spirit lusting too much against the flesh.'

'Whenever we change, a lot of things get too big or too small for us; useless, in a word. Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times...

holy shit your post made me spit cracking up, Jeeeeeeezus that was hilarious!!! I THANK YOU!!! I need that. I am totally in the shit I can't even eat. Needless to say your book is sitting here. Tomorrow is Sunday so we're all good actually. I better fucking get my shit together to get it ready then!!! I'm just maxed out. Like in a pressure cooker.

Anyway, dear Lord, my little astronaut? I am SOooooooooooooooooooooooo flattered that someone would find him so attractive. I am practically enthralled by him; i threw a fit in the thrift store, i was so excited i have no idea how such an item could spark such joy for a person. No clue. For that reason i must decline--he is too unique! I love him very so. But tell your friend i appreciate his good eye! I'm sorry. miao!!
rosemarie:
How was your housewarming? How was the woman as guest? (The one from the conference).

I read a few of your past entries and like the quote about the $1000 bed.

I keep forgetting that you are now "Sunfeather".
Everytime I scan past the names of friends, I glance at this one and think it is a new-ager from my San Francisco days.

I am glad it is you, though. ooo aaa

Dreams: unspoilt canyons in the American South-West and strange goings-on in a British rooming house. In my dream, I'm renting a large, cold, but characterful one-room apartment from a landlord who lives across the hall and has Nazi graffiti on his door. At first, I think he is responsible for these objectionable signs, but then I see him emerge with his similarly tattooed and pierced...

Oh my God, NO WAY. Oh not to the book-she's all yours! But to the prejudice of a man with cats!!! What the f!!!?? I LOVE my male friends with their cats, it's so funny and cute. miao!! The person sounds like a jerk!

I will shoot you an email about payment---can you set up another PayPal?

Ack, I didn't notice you kind of can't tell what it is.....but it is indeed an embroidered old lady thingy. I keep it on my wall over this bizarre NYC landscape thing that still has the towers in it......just too bizarre so it fit. eeek

Ok, well let me know whenever you are ready! She's yours. smile

Today a young lady whom I met at a conference in June, and to whom I spoke for only a matter of minutes, but with whom I have since been carrying on an intense correspondence by way of lengthy, frequent and flirtatious e-mails while she has been travelling around France with her husband and I have been travelling around Britain with myself, this woman, who...

dude. you are totally going to score biggrin

once again i'm forced to dial my reading comprehension skills up to a 9 on the scale. Good to have ya back man!
jena:
Oh that's right-you're the one who complimented the NICE things in my profile! YAY! biggrin blush I like what I've got there for right now. tongue

You know with a kitty, all you need to do is get 'em fixed, then their shots and they're good for a year until the next shot. Food and litter=no big whoop. I am a slob and I manage to do it. See once you get one that's it, it's over. I can't remember the last time I ate tuna but the kids sure remember their last helping! tongue tongue Plus some animal shelters give out cheap vouchers for spaying or you can find one who's a done deal. smile I SAY GO FOR IT!!!! HAPPINESS!!! smile

Oh film soundtrack...I really like the weird music in A Zed and Two Noughts, the music at the opening of A Tale Of Two Sisters and the All About Lily soundtrack. There are too many though. I think I like the continuousness (?) of them. I thought the soundtrack for Decasia was really interesting too.
jena:
The blood of my life is normally only in spurts of crisis, unfortunately. But it's true. I appreciate the advice or consulation. I know it. I can't wait to see waht comes next as the replacement roommate--it's so scary you know?

On the light side, I have averted this crisis by taking another one in the form of snatching an abandoned kitten off of my street. Somebody threw this cat out on my block. I've already got a member interested in adoption. This cat is SO cute. Boy will roommates be thrilled when they find her in the bathroom. eeek surreal

Oh anyway, I tend to keep my profiles barren under the assumption no one reads them. Should I fill it in?

Rachel watches a lot of TV, something I'm no longer used to, having all but given it up in the past two or three years. But, watching several hours over the course of one evening, I find myself engrossed and begin to wonder whether the BBC is offering some sort of a primer in developmental psychology. Because programme after programme shows individuals struggling with issues...

So my week away in Exeter was kind of fun. There was a lot of physical activity: swimming and stationary cycling at Rachel's local gym, frisbee on the beach, miniature golf (I scored a spectacular 75 over par), korfball practice (which gives me blisters the size of coasters), plus also, on the TV, the world athletics championships from Helsinki with the ravishing Swedes Carolina Kluft...

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.
whatever

affect that takes place to the side of action

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

In a foul mood today. Can't concentrate at all on my quantum physics (mind you, who can concentrate on quantum physics?); neither of the printers in my office work; I brood about sex (or, y'know, the lack of it) in the swimming pool changing room; provoke a road rage incident by failing to pay attention on a roundabout; flare my nostrils at the smelly plebs...

Apologies for the delay in response. I have no particular excuse to offer you.

Warwick quantumite? I was at WBS a few years back, honing my Devil craft.

Cooking like a loon is very similar to dancing like a loon. It involves extravagant gestures, bold moves and a tempo worthy of a Russian virtuoso vodka bottle player. It involves joy, childish play, and an almost reckless abandon - a surrender of linear logic to taste, smell and intuition. It is a freedom of sorts.

So a tall French speaking Scot with existential/phenomenological leanings, a penchant for quantum physics (same diff), and an at times worrying over keenness to impose order and absolutes on a silence which basicaly isn't having any of it?
jena:
Did you not see House of 1000 Corpses? The Devil's Rejects is the sequel of sorts, with returning characters. Karen played the original Mama Firefly but for unknown reasons was replaced in this one. Bummer. blackeyed
