the Obsession Chronicles"may you live all the days of your life"
-- jonathan swift posted 28 January 2004 | |
the story wanting to be toldyes, i'm still obsessed, still delighted with the fellowship * i wish i could play you my current favorite song: Dom & Elijah singing a happy jibberish song called Half Fling but Billy's a good hobbit laugh too -- o man, speaking of, can you imagine how big those too-blue eyes got for his, er, night on the town? (are you watching that status bar?) *
the Two Towers has been on all week & i'm not even ashamed to say that i've tuned in more than once (the only movie i've seen on tv that drew me away was 25th Hour -- what a beginning! you do have to see this one from the very start, a tribute to New York & another pair of towers) * it's on right now & i keep running in to watch my favorite scenes (o that smile Pippin gives the discouraged but still joking Merry -- "i think we might've made a mistake leaving the shire" he says -- when the orcs have 'em * he gets a big fond smile in response, despite the fact that the orcs are fighting over whether they need their legs or not -- what spirit! you'll see how much i adore him down below) *
speaking of favorite scenes, they put up 2 of mine on my favorite website so now i can hear another great Merry line as often as i like ("you smoke too much, Pip" he says with such a big ol' lost love as they're separated -- by Pippin's foolishness, of course * i repeat that one to my own Pippin all the time although "why'd you have to look Pip? why do you always have to look?" is gaining in popularity with a little word substitution: mine chews, eats & bites) * that's "something for the road" & my other favorite is "is there any hope?" where Gandalf shows he forgives him for being a fool (takes one to know one) *
i'm hoping to go on & on some more about this obsession (like how last night when i watched Two Towers all the way through & realized that even Gollum would've been true, would've been Smeagol, if Frodo hadn't betrayed him * or how it is so clear that Peter Jackson loves every one of the characters in this story, as did Tolkien) but right now i'm tired & i've got to get to work early in the morning * | ||

making lists: about this pagelast updated 10 January 2004
the stunning movie The Pillow Book is the inspiration for this ever-evolving page of lists * there are lots of links mixed in on my lists -- if i could find a good link on any item, i included it * some links go straight to Amazon.com or the IMDb but watch that bottom status bar because there are some other great links hidden in there * if you're interested in a little history, follow the story behind this page on the one that came before it, otherwise, click on for more rambling words and lists of beloved things -- is that an oxymoron?
the lists below may look the same but they change every time i update the page * not all of them every time, but all of them over time * as it's a new year i'm going to give them another thorough going over, keep my mind moving on to new obsessions, even though i don't completely let go of the old ones *
the 2 spots at top i'll keep -- they're always changing & besides, they please me (i'm the only audience for these pages for all i know, so why not?) * my horrorscope: i'm a woo-woo type, part pagan, so why not revel in it? & the hotties in the movies: what's life without some tasty crushes? i try to keep the list short, but when i really fall for somebody it's usually because of a generous genuine nature & then i never want to take him&her off my list * like Viggo, like Salma * i saw the elvin Cate Blanchett on Inside the Actors Studio & wow... she said "It has to be a generous act" about really giving herself to a performance emotionally, going all out as she does * the generosity of creative expression is one of my favorite concepts, the one i've begun the last 2 years with (see Viggo for last year, & Brezsny for this) * see, it's all connected * | |

my horrorscope this week
(for the week of 29 January 2004): I suggest you deal creatively with budding tension between you and your allies. Maybe you could convince them to get down on the floor with you and tussle like puppies. Or how about organizing a game of paintball? Gather together in someone's backyard and throw rocks at dishes, bottles, and old TVs. Sneak a boombox into an abandoned building and have a guerrilla dance party. Or stage a Lying Contest in which everyone competes to tell the most outrageous whoppers. Any one of these strategies will go far towards ensuring the success of joint ventures in the coming weeks.
angel cards i just drew:
freedom ________ synthesis how am i doing?
funny he should mention puppies -- i had mine help me pick my angel cards (the first 2 he politely nosed, the last he just about choked on) * to begin with a theme
(for the week of 1 January 2004): I saw my Aries friend Alexis yesterday. "You're even more festive than the last time I saw you," I told her. She had on red silk pants, a burgundy cashmere sweater, silver scarf, black snakeskin boots, and beaded black tunic. I noticed several new piercings and a Hindu-style red dot on her forehead just above her eyes. She also happened to be carrying her snake, which was wrapped around her arm. "The older I get, the freer I am to hide nothing about how I really feel," she replied. "It's not even rebellion any more -- it's generosity. I have this sense that the world needs me to express my most extravagant self." I nominate Alexis to be your patron saint in 2004, Aries.
