in one of those happy accidents, i stumbled into the chai house while waiting for 'slumdog millionaire' (more on that in a moment) to start. so, there's this chick on the little stage there, surrounded by the usual assortment of tweenies trying their hardest to look like they're not trying hard at all, and she's got a gameboy hooked up to a sampler ( Read more... )

dream: the beginning was a whirlwind of activity around a sort of hostel or boarding house. people were floating in and out, and i resided, lived, laughed, existed. i was also profoundly lonely. and the, i met a girl. she was pale, dark-haired, with a sweet, rough mouth. she seemed out of reach, untouchable, but reached for me nonetheless. we ( Read more... )

saw '7 pounds' with will smith. it was 'ok'. like, it had great acting, a somewhat intriguing mystery, and pretty good dialogue. i teared up at the end, despite myself, but then again, seeing people crying usually acts as a catalyst for me to do it too. i thought it was a bit heavy on showing how buff will smith is, but ok, fine. and he was a teeny ( Read more... )

dreamed last night: i was intent on fishing for a ring, a golden ring. i ended up doing some sort of ice fishing in this old barn. i kicked out some snow that had covered up a dark stream, and threw in my line. i could see a small, extremely toothy and pale shark heading for the bait. it snagged, and i yanked, pulling it up. it was about the size ( Read more... )

dreamed: a rather long affair that seemed to take place primarily in a downtown seattle/san-fran hybrid. i'd gotten caught up with some rovers, people that were just going from place to place drinking, causing merriment, etc. i was in this long rectangular bar/shopping boutique when L showed up. she was being a bit manic, and frantic to get ( Read more... )
