Tonight I made some delicious blended ice drinks which ended up tasting like candy (blue curacao, raspberry vodka, and you guessed it...ICE). Nothing accompanies candy slush drinks better then watching Jake Gyllenhaal, uh I mean Donnie Darko on a Sunday night. Even though I've watched it numerous times, I still think it's funny to see Patrick Swayze playing the role of a bastard kiddy porn perv, no one could have done that better, ICK!
Also, Frank the Bunny is so charming with his fuzzy bunny suit and come-hither mask, just makes you wanna cuddle him!
If you ever have to drive anyone home across one end of Vancouver to the other then do it at 230 in the morning, no one is on the road. What usually would take me 30-45 mins took 17, count em, 17 minutes (the faster rental car adds to this)!!! Perfect night for a drive.
Found my Game Boy Advance charger, now I can play Tetris in bed,heh.
Books in progress:
The Zombie Survival Guide- Just in case?!?!
The Long Hard Road out of Hell- Can't believe I haven't read it yet... yay Manson!
Essays in Existentialism- Recently discovered Sartre by my own devices, what a lovely discovery.
What spawned this discovery was that I recently read Sartre's essay "Why Write"... Love the way he explores the reciprocal relationship between the writer & reader of a literary object.
He explains quite poetically how “man is the means by which things are manifested”, We perceive the world around us and piece together these perceptions to make sense of our surroundings. We name, label, classify, and use our inherent scenes to engage in and understand the world outside of our bodies. He begins to explain how one of the ways we engage and ponder this world around us is through “artistic creation”. He gives examples of painting and sculpture but quickly cuts to the meat of his topic and concentrates on literature, which is “ the art of writing”. He continues to describe the crucial and reliant relationship between writer and reader and suggests how a book without a reader remains an object; readers bring these objects to life... momentarily.
Sartre’s question (and title to his article) Why Write? Is the first thing in ink at the top of the page while the last group of words responding to “why write?” poses another question (which typifies a philosophers thought processes) “ For whom does one write?”
Also started grad film planning, gonna shoot on 16mm, so much to do!
