Diary, dear

...Or A long day.
I've been working at the film shop today and I went hungry all those hours. I'd only brought three small sandwiches and by the time I got home I stuffed myself with fajitas from yesterday and simply parked my behind in my comfy-chair. I haven't moved since.



I decided to see a movie so I watched 'Match Point', which I'd wanted to see, not for Scarlett, but for Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Velvet Goldmine anyone?). I guess that was silly of me, considering it's a Woody Allen movie. Now I sit here, two hours later, completely at a drag. My god I really hate those kinds of films. I don't know, I have this inflexible demand that good movies should make you feel things that ordinary life won't let you; like unreasonable excitement and a lust for things you normally don't think about. It allows you those few precious moments of delirium, without taking anything inducing, and that is one of the main reasons I'm actually considering working with it in the future.
I don't know. Maybe if I was bored (and rich) and wanted to do something to see what people would think of it, even if I'd never really bothered making anything good out of it I'd make a movie like this. Except there would be more color I think. This movie could easily've been in black and white. Does that make me shallow? ... Maybe. And maybe that's why I'd watch Marie Antoinette another three times instead of watching this sorry flick again.

I also want to tell you about Takano Aya. I think she is the most brilliant person ever. I fell in love with her when I was in Japan two years ago. I had bought these superficial magazines about how to become thin(ner) and stay in the right fashion, they amuse me as I'm sure they would anyone, but in the back of one of these magazines there was this picture. It was amazing in all its simplicity.
I've been trying to find it, but I'm not sure if it's too old, it's not a part of her more recent exhibitions anyway.



I don't know why, but she just make me feel so many happy things. If you don't know about her, I really suggest you go and find out.
