For fun, because I need some:

Hello all, its been quite awhile. I'm sorry that I have left so many things open ended. Right now my internal being feels like a severed live wire, all sparks and loose wires. I've been dealing with some emotional wellness issues here lately. Up and down. And its been hard for me to get out of myself. I promise that I will write a coherent post soon. For now though, I came across this really fun game over at my bloggy friend Jinny's place (which never ceases to inspire me). It has to do with film, a passion of mine, and I thought it would be a nice way to lighten things up and communicate with each other. Here goes:

Everyone loves movies and one thing we love from them are the great one liners!

Let’s have some fun with them.

Here are the rules:
1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. No Googling or IMDb-ing. That’s cheating and that’s no fun.

Ok, so, here are my 10 movie quotes:

1. I kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing and things seemed to be getting so shitty. And he'd say, "that's the way it goes, but don't forget, it goes the other way too." That's the way romance is... Usually, that's the way it goes, but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too. True Romance found out by Maurine and Denise.
2. In a sense, yes. My art has been commended as being strongly vaginal which bothers some men. The word itself makes some men uncomfortable. Vagina. The Big Lebowski found out by Josh (on MySpace).
3. She keeps working to make connections, but the pile of near misses is starting to overwhelm her. What Mirabelle needs is an omniscient voice to illuminate and spotlight her and to inform everyone that this one has value, this one standing behind the counter in the glove department and to find her counterpart and bring him to her. Shop Girl found out by Maurine and Denise
4. My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes. That's a sentence I read once and I say it over to comfort myself in these times that try the soul.
5. -- You set your heart too much on frivolous things and then crash down into despair when you don't get them.
   -- I know. I can't help flying up on the wings of anticipation. It's as glorious as soaring through a sunset... almost pays for the thud.
6. You know, but that's valid because if we are all gonna die anyway shouldn't we be enjoying ourselves now? You know, I'd like to quit thinking of the present, like right now, as some minor insignificant preamble to something else. Dazed and Confused found out by Josh (he's a professional).
7. Get some sour cream and onion chips with some dip, man, some beef jerky, some peanut butter. Get some Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars, a whole lot, make sure chocolate, gotta have chocolate, man. Some popcorn, red popcorn, graham crackers, graham crackers with marshmallows, the little marshmallows and little chocolate bars and we can make s'mores, man. Also, celery, grape jelly, Cap'n Crunch with the little Crunch berries, pizzas. We need two big pizzas, man, everything on 'em, with water, whole lotta water, and Funyons. Half Baked found out by Jinny, (& Josh and Russ on MySpace).
8. So everything that doesn't fit into some stupid idea of what you think God wants you just try to hide or fix or get rid of? It's just all too much to live up to. No one fits in one hundred percent of the time. Not even you.
   Saved! found out by Leah!
9. Should I bolt every time I get that feeling in my gut when I meet someone new? Well, I've been listening to my gut since I was 14 years old, and frankly speaking, I've come to the conclusion that my guts have shit for brains. High Fidelity found out by Maurine and Denise
10. You know what's wrong with you, Miss Whoever-you-are? You're chicken, you've got no guts. You're afraid to stick out your chin and say, "Okay, life's a fact, people do fall in love, people do belong to each other, because that's the only chance anybody's got for real happiness." You call yourself a free spirit, a "wild thing," and you're terrified somebody's gonna stick you in a cage. Well baby, you're already in that cage. You built it yourself. And it's not bounded in the west by Tulip, Texas, or in the east by Somali-land. It's wherever you go. Because no matter where you run, you just end up running into yourself. Breakfast at Tiffany's found out by Leah.

So, there you have it. I have a feeling some of these are given, especially to those who know me quite well. But oh well, AND bonus, if no one get them all in like five days or something, I'll post the list. Also, I would like to encourage any and all to play along in their own blogs, I love seeing what films people enjoy, and especially what quotes they love the most. Peace and happiness to you and yours, I'll be seeing you soon!<

The Graduate.

I watched The Graduate today. It was my first time, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed. It was much more abstract than I had imagined it to be. I really liked it. I am quite obsessed with the fact that Simon and Garfunkel performed all of the music for it. This makes me lust after the original LP (and a record player to play it on). I am also quite taken with the artistic elements of this movie, they remind me a little of what Zach Braff did with Garden State.
