i hit the culture wall!
o.k., so i've finally watched the legendary film "hiroshima mon amour", directed by alain resnais, screenplay by marguerite duras (the movie "the lover" was based on her book), 1959.
i don't know if i've become so completely blo@$bus%^erized (eeemposeeebul!) or i'm just too young (whoohoo!) but i didn't get the legendary-iness. and i found myself fidgeting. or was the experience supposed to make me uncomfortable? i'm lost.
my favourite thing was the 2003 interview with the actress who potrayed the female lead, emmanuelle riva (wow. what elegance, what youth, what serenity).
anyone of you seen it? wanna explain it to me?
k.
ps. yes, i do get the part about war, peace, love, memory etc.

from a diary of an old woman
can't write anymore (8pm), my back is killing me. managed to step outside my hole today, and went into thermal shock (albeit of the pleasant category). it was 10 degrees out. hahahaheheheh!
got milk and maclean's: "the internet sucks".
two people made me laugh (on the phone and via chat), a very good daily score.
should i go turn on the telly now?
ah, i'm so easily persuaded.
what have you been up to, my wee 'bit' monkies? hmmm?

random post #48
home from the job. couldn't open the door on arrival at 11pm. it was blocked by a package from mother. full of, what else, chocolate (fancy kind too!:-)
she knows i'm too shy to go trick-or-tricking.
have no idea what i did all day. must have been fun 'cause i feel mellow.
now to bed again, with chocolate, tea and a book about spinoza (don't you roll your eyes at me. i know you're doing it! my spy hound is watching you...)

k.
ps. the dick cavett show is worth it's own post. holy gods of the sparkling wit!

'ex-us'
'experience us!' 2006 (annual univ. event for high school seniors) day 1 went well, with groups of eager, bright, young faces roaming the campus, including the archy building.
inspired by the electric yellow of their event apparel the grad students had a jug of extraextra black coffee each, to better simulate the look of friendliness and ecstatic energy the university requires from us on such occasions...

recommended 2
recently finished this, and have already raved about it to some of you. but, then thought to myself, why not rave some more?
the topic itself is probably more for those amongst you of the female persuasion, but it is also beatiful prose, and there are some nice references to history of nova scotia.
available widely in bookstores and libraries across canada.

house of plenty
i've promised you a thanksgiving edition post, but now i'm too full of carbs to think straight. my roomates, you see, made full thanksgiving dinner. i, um...made flower arrangements for the table and wore a pretty dress, and...er, my kitchen is too small to cook, yea, that's the one i was looking for!
wish i had red wine, though, to help me digest all that...*sigh*
instead, kitten and i are now going to curl up and wait for our bellies to flaten on their own.
hope you've all had a productive day, 'cause i sure didn't.
and that's something a girl can be thankful for.

in preparation for thanksgiving...
Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men – above all for those upon whose smiles and well-being our own happiness depends.
-- Albert Einstein –
stay tuned for the thanksgiving day edition,
yours,
