Current mood: speculative

so here i am

yes here i am; its me again.

i feel like i did when i wrote my first blog. like a groundhog.
speaking of which, did pxtny phil see his shadow or what.

oh wait;
i live in CA, so it doesnt bloody matter. the weather is the same all the damn time. ha ha.
(sorry mom, but it is funny)

the last few days have been interesting.

i was reminded of the sting that love carries with it, but i'm also remembering the warmth that closeness with another human soul creates.

i have been sober for about a week; and it was effortless. there was a moment or two of weakness, but i was able to stave it off.
i can't do it alone, i found. but my source of strength lives 2 hours away.

theres so much to say about the last few days...
i made my rent
i fell in love
i defeated Zur and the Ko-Dan armada
and porn was involved.

somehow i managed to see gus van sant's "elephant".
that film is FUCKING AMAZING. not only did harry savides do an amazing job as the dp, but his operator should be given major kudos.

how the fuck did no one see this film?

maybe it was because i saw the film with an audience of people to whom i had to describe the film as "they blow shit up....later" to get them to watch it that i found it particularly poiniant(sp?)

i have been kinda "meh" about van sant, but i thought that his storytelling was amazing.
see this film.
TiVO the g-ddamn thing; whatever.....just watch it.

finally got to see "five easy pieces"
its amazing what they did with such little money and a lot of booze and coke, lol.

that film was lazlo kovacs at his finest. granted, theres something to be said about the decadence of ghostbusters, but i dont know if he ever topped his work in "five...."

burnt out for the day.

i, your humble narrator, will delight you with tales later, my little drooges.

until tomorrow,
doogie hauser, MD

i just noticed something....you can usually sense my level of sobriety by the amount of references that i make per entry.

remmber that and call my ass on it if i slip and try and fake it.

goodnight my friends

btw-listening to death cab for cutie..
FUCK
these guys are amazing; do they have a bad song?
