Night On Earth
I just watched "Night On Earth". You can't get much better than that. It's really just a collection of 5 vignettes, a collage of moving tales and interesting conversations. It reminded me a lot of "Smoke".
Anyway, unthinkable1 recommends it.
Naomi and I watched, "Forgotten" staring Julianne Moore. Although it's a bit cheesy and the script is trite, it was good fun. There is one of the scariest car crash scenes I've ever seen - Naomi literally tore my arm off! And there are some other clever scare techniques I hadn't seen used before. And it had Doctor Green from ER in it, so...
I'm still smoking! That's 2 days now. Not bad,eh :-)
Yesterday we went to Karaoke and I sung loads of Elliot Smith. He's one of the few songwriters whose lyrics I can really understand:
"Fights problems with bigger problems"
Although he probably meant something different, I feel that worry is a lot like that. I have a worry and instead of letting it go or dealing with the problem, I just replace it with a bigger one. And it goes on that way, piling worry upon worry until there's nothing but layer upon layer of worry. Instead of dealing with a problem, I just move onto the next bigger one.
The first step towards any kind of wisdom is understanding the problem. If we don't, we just get deceived all the time. There was a Zen master who, when he awoke every morning would shout, "Don't be deceived, Master!" And he'd reply, "No, I won't!" That's kinda cool, I think...
Anyway, words words words...
Once again, the weather forecasters get it wrong - it's a lovely day!
"Damn fine coffee!"
