Random photos and stuff. Things I think look kinda cool.
Tense stressful day ahead.
I think The Quiet Man arrives today. I’m alternating between Woody Allen and John Wayne, and it suits me perfectly.
Reading The Arabian Nights. The Richard Burton translation – which has a flowery Arabic FEEL to it and I love it. I read a couple pages a day. It’s all I’m fit for right now. Now I know why generations of schoolchildren are literally swept away by the magic carpet ride herein. You just are transported to another world. And you NEED to know: “But what happens next??”
Breathe. Don’t forget to breathe.
Dinner with Ted tonight.
Stuff I’ve seen.
I like John Wayne’s funny movies and his fights where everybody is against everybody =]
Ha – my favorite fight is actually in The Quiet Man – I can’t wait to see it again. Talk about everybody against everybody!!
Oh I love that movie!
“Wipe yer muddy boots!”
“Come a’runnin’? Come a’runnin!”
“When I drink water, I drink water, and when I drink whiskey, I drink whiskey.”
“He died in Australia…in a penal colony….”
I can’t think specifically of any more – it’s been so long since I’ve seen it I’m afraid I’ll misquote it…but I’ve just been sitting here with scenes running in my head…I have to see that again soon, I think.
“I’m alternating between Woody Allen and John Wayne, and it suits me perfectly.”
I cannot even tell you how much I love that sentence.
Ah, Tiffany’s. The mothership.
I’m vaguely frightened of that Apple store.
Lisa – I’m kinda scared of it too. Especially at night – because all the glass goes black, but the Apple stays lit up – so it looks like it’s this disembodied thing floating in the air. hahahaha
And those Tiffany’s windows!! Amazing, right?
Jayne – I believe the first time I saw that movie was at your house!!
Emily – hahahahaha
A little Duke, a little Wood-man, a little Duke, a little Wood … All’s right with the world!
Love the light hitting that Tiffany’s window.
And the strange little counterpoint of the skull and crossbones motif on the — what, scarf? — in the background.
Hahaha. Look at your screensaver.
