bookmania

I started up "Swann's Way" by Marcel Proust again. Whose full name is somewhat audacious and pretentious: Valentin Louis Georges Eugène Marcel Proust. Either way, it is a wonderful book. Im about 50 pages in. It is a trilogy. "In Search of Lost Time," respectively.
Most lay people may recognize the name from the delightful film "Little Miss Sunshine." Steve Carell's character, Frank Ginsberg (perhaps an allusion to Allen?), is, as i recall, the "preeminent Proust scholar."

also i have misplaced a considerable amount of my philosophy collection. about 3 nietzsche texts and 2 kant texts. only 5 books, but in the scheme of things, they are pretty significant.

and the oklahoma city friends of the library sale is coming up. it is amazing. it is a piece of heaven in the hell that is oklahoma. i am quite positive that it is the vacation spot for pestilence.
i plan on adding some nice new materials for my book collection.

cinephile

almost.
movies i am very excited for




sometimes i want to write more.

mostly i want to write about space.
i want to write something that is a mix between "the fountain," "the reasons i wont be coming," and "sunshine."

i might try my hand at short stories.


tomorrow is mlk day.
tomorrow is philosophy paper.
maybe some sierra nevada or fat tire.

eh

sometimes i think it might be okay to have kids.







maybe.

also, i need a new bookshelf. maybe just a bigger one.
but certainly this overflowing thing must desist.

airports, school, etc.

stuck in denver. break was fun. lots of fun in portland. two mcmenamins trips.
purchased:
-hoodie
-3 pint glasses
-growler
-postcards
-re-usable grocery bag

also went to powells and had a grand time there.
visited seattle.

bought an awesome bowtie from brooks brothers. it shall be debuted shortly.

saw "tron: legacy" in 3D imax. it was amazing.
also saw "the fighter." possibly the best movie of the year. i would say it is a tie with "true grit."

top movies of 2010 in no particular order:
-valhallah rising
-the fighter
-true grit
-tetro
-the white ribbon
-until the light takes us
-snow angels
-im still here
-inception
-shutter island

now we are stuck at the denver airport.


maybe we'll get out of here.
maybe we are stuck.

this looks so phenomenal. i cannot wait. additionally i still have yet to see "the fighter" and "black swan," both of which are superb. anyway, i give you "tree of life"



also tomorrow i am northwest bound. very excited. first seattle, then portland. then back to seattle.
then birthday. but there will be a birthday celebration in portland at one of the fine mcminemins establishments.

anyway. 3 am comes early. that much i am not looking forward to.

its christmas eve eve. well, right now just one eve.
soon i will be in portland though.
then it is seattle.
then birthday.

i am excited.
eventually i want to stay at the ace hotel.

but for now ill just settle with getting some stumptown.

which is right across from powells.
which is heaven.

ring a ding

seriously though, this movie blows my mind




finals week. then chicago. well, illinois rather. it will be cold. and probably boring. but at least i can sleep the whole time. thats really all i want.
and it will be christmas. so thats always nice. and true grit will be out.
freaking so exciteds.

then we go to portland! mcminamins. downtown. doug fir. nickel arcade. friends. fun.
