subliminal mindf**k

nother dream: me n a frend were supposed to meet these surfer boys by the beach but we were busy with some work and so decided to get the work done and then go meet them...and they decided to go midnight swimming without us and drowned and died. and then we turned into these 2 twin girls and we were very distraught...or maybe the twins were on the beach and not us at all and saw them die and hence were distraught...not too sure...identical twin girls...am so creeped out by the concept of identical twins...maybe its the reading of too many r l stines...with him going on and on bout mirror twins..and theres always something creepy going on...or maybe its just the identical people dressed identically...or the telepathic connection thing...reminds me of the double life of veronique...good movie...not creepy...but then they werent actually twins, they just happened to look exactly alike...completely different!
dream: it was noisy and full and overflowing with people in the aisles. the problem was that most were not in their seats but leaning casually in studly manner against anything lean-able against and blocking everything up. or standing and signing for the deaf people. or just standing. not sitting. it was chaos. no one could see anything really. it was strictly an auditory experience for all, other than the ones who couldn't hear of course. the woman who was signing was doing so in a manner similar to anoushka shankar conducting in concert for george which i was watching last night.

movie:
watched the deep end of the ocean again yest. god i love that movie. one theory is i go for movies in which michelle pfeiffer cries: this, frankie and johnny, the story of us, one fine day...anyhoo i love this movie so much because of the casting and acting, esp the two boys [i hate the dad..grr he is painy!] vincent and ben/sam...love how vincent calls him ben...god that boy is genius...the sneaking into the room with the cloth bunnie and sleeping on the floor...he is such a disturbed boi...i mean the way he looks bout 5 in every scene is just genius...for those who dont know...it is about how ben gets kidnapped at yeng age..and vincent feels much guilt for having lost him...and many yrs later they find him living down the road frm them...the lady who kidnapped him is now dead, she killed herself...and he thought of her as his mother and his stepdad as dad...and his real parents are just beth and pat...complex...the brotherly relationship is awesome cause mostly vincent comes off as the yenger one...

vincent:imdbed him and now am looking at the filmography...his first movie was camp nowhere! one of my fave films of all time and i dont even rem seeing him in it...i rem seeing him in this horrible druggie movie...where he s all disturbed and on drugs and u just want to hug him...and omg he was even the main char of camp nowhere...maha change i say...then all floppy hair...now all...studly...but LOWE! want to see camp nowhere again now...
dont rem the title of the drugged one...mightve been this one.

verbiage

praise my love for he is has eyes that cannot lie, his words may vary from time to time but what does it matter, when it is obvious to me [and him] that he has transparent eyes, then a lie becomes something different, is it still a lie when you and i know you're lying? or is that truth in another form, for nothing is denied.

goo

fat caterpillars slime
poke their heads out
[peeping] from under
leaves of lettuce
undressed salad

what can we measure
how long how fat how much
holes in the vegetation
until no more empty bowl
caterpillar explosion

had this whole rant planned out. well my point today is basically this: things should be compatible with each other...like cameras and lenses made by diff companies and all computers and software and versions of software...i mean incompatibility forces you to adapt and move on to the next version which is only minimally different from the last one or give up and just stop using cameras and computers and everything. its like a spoon not being compatible with your mouth. grr. end of rant.

reading: persuasion
typical austen. loving it. hadnt realised that i hadnt read it as yet. am completely engrossed. her characters are so amazingly real and act how you expect them to act cause u know people like them. but this isnt predictability gone wrong. it is predictability at its best. it's sublime. and i use that word sparingly.
