in the lee of the day
It's amazing how complicated livejournal has gotten. I think when I first started using it, you basically just had posts and user icons. Maybe the occasional poll. Nowadays, it takes me a few minutes to figure out where all the buttons moved to....
It's a lonely sort of night, not simply because I'm alone, but because I've gotten something on my mind that won't let me get to sleep. I really have no clue what it is, and my fledgling meditation abilities aren't helping at all. I think I'm a bit too tired to focus on it, but who knows. There are Bob Dylan records to keep me company.
About this time yesterday, I was starting to watch Stalker with Matt. It was my first experience with Tarkovsky. Really incredible work. Matt suggested he is one of the only universally respected directors...at least among people that treat film like art. I can imagine most people would rather beat themselves unconscious than endure some of the lengthier scenes.
Anyway, I think we finished the movie some time around 6:30. It's left me with a lot of questions, but I don't really know where to look for answers, except to suggest to everyone I know that they watch it with me and then discuss.
Interestingly, the two main characters...Writer and Professor...remind me a lot of me and Keith, respectively, around the time we were living together.
Hrm. I think it's been about 6 hours since I ate anything, which is mildly annoying. Might as well try to sleep again.
