Notes From Me |
Thursday, August 25, 2005
time has accelerated so that my last entry seems a short time ago but it isn't. this reminds me of living in wakayama prefecture in japan, where some believe that the area exists in 3.5 dimensions, causing time to act differently. maybe i'd adjusted to that, and now i'm in hyperdrive. speaking of time shifts, 2046. it was a themed evening: cantonese. my two companions, he-man and hong, and i went to dinner in chinatown where they ordered in their native language. i learned to tap the table next to my cup to mean, "thank you" when tea was poured for me. we were aglow with a unanimous endearment for wong kar wai. the film was huge on the screen before me, but the execution of the story felt incrementally smaller and smaller. i see now a pattern among his main characters where the guy loves the one woman he cannot for whatever reason end up with. i can't help but think about how all stories are a reflection of the artist. i'm not so concerned with that, but only how it plays out again and again, like the message of a dream. i maintain that my favorite is chungking express, and then, fallen angels. i'm still inspired.

Define and Concur, wild like cloudlight The Writer
Wooden boats, musical instruments and fireworks are some of the best inventions. And cameras. I don't believe in following any one person or set of ideas. There are tiny satiations like orchids along the viny forest floor, blooming unseen, more gorgeous than some could keep from weeping over. Whenever I see the occasional sun rise the colors always surprise me like the flavor of tahini in Holland. Subway cars make great rhythm along the tracks, as does wind in treebranches, the sound pattern of running engines, and sometimes clothes in a dryer. I like Sumerian poetry. Archives
