Biological Clock Ticking

'I am not excluding anything and I’m not gonna apologize for it. And this isn’t about me wanting a man either. This is about me wanting a partner, OK? A partner to go through life with. And since I happen to be heterosexual, well that limits the field to men, at least if I wanna have sex. And I do! I like sex! And if that makes me weak, tough! Then I wanna be weak. I want a partner! I want sex! I-I want a house with furniture! I wanna have a baby! I wanna have all of it! I wanna get fat! I wanna wear maternity dresses! I wanna stick my legs up in stirrup, take two shots of potassium and spit the little thing right out between my thighs and then have him suck on my breasts with daddy standing right there the whole time pointing to the camcorder, OK? That is what I want! And instead of waiting for it to happen, I’M GONNA MAKE IT HAPPEN!'

Flaubert's Parrot

"Books say: She did this because. Life says: She did this.
Books are where things are explained to you; life is where things aren't. I'm not surprised some people prefer books. Books make sense of life. The only problem is that the lives they make sense of are other people's lives, NEVER YOUR OWN."

(Julian Barnes, Flaubert's Parrot)

Other Side Of The World

Though we live in the same city, we might as well be worlds apart. I don't know why, but it feels like you're on the other side of the world to me.



"I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me"

Post-Weekend Revelation

she is back in black. surprisingly enough (for those who knew her, and herself) she fell in love with the mountains!
and she can't wait to get her ass back there, and soon! :)
so... great trip, gorgeous friends, superb landscapes and an amazingly spontaneous rock concert were the recipe for the time of her life!

... And So It Is

It turned out to be more than a movie. For me, at least. It had some lines that actually spoke to me at a level that no one managed to reach in a while. The same thing happened approximately 2 years ago, while trying to get myself back on track after yet another fucked up relationship. Then, the rescuing boat was called THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT. I actually saw the movie with "the one" at that time, and when I started crying at the end of it, he did not realize that it meant something more to me. That movie's idea was: LET GO, MOVE ON. Everyone kept telling me that, but one thing's for sure with me: I don't believe what others tell me. I always do things by my own rules. And if I chose to let go, I let go.
Same thing happened tonight. Went to see INCEPTION. I wasn't expecting the thing that happened, but I had quite a lovely surprise. Same situation, different guy, same message. Too stubborn to see the obvious for myself, but thank God for movies seen at the best timing ever!

Movie Marathon (I)

Been sick as a dog for some days now, so I figured what better reason to have a movie marathon than this one? :)
Here are my movies, with the trailers and reason of choice:

- Far and Away (1992)
Just for Tom Cruises' boxing skills. OK, for his accent, too.
trailer: here


- Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)
Paul Newman. A young Paul Newman, with a drinking problem. Paul Newman. Oh, did I mention PAUL NEWMAN?
trailer: here

- Annie Get Your Gun (1950)
I love musicals. Oh, and the "anything-you-can-do-I-can-do-better" :)

- Fight Club (1999)
Welcome to Fight Club. The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club!

-Los Lunes al Sol (2002)
Great movie. Javier Bardem before being the ultimate Spanish discovery.
trailer: here

- Ondine (2009)
not stating the obvious Colin-Farrell-love reason.

- Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
there's no one in this world to say better the word FUCK than Hugh Grant.
trailer: here

- North By Northwest (1959)
Alfred Hitchcock is reason enough. And Cary Grant.

David Duchovny!
DAVID DUCHOVNY!!

Relationships

Relationships:
There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just FABULOUS.

Capote Revelation

"I suppose you think I'm very brazen. Or très fou. Or something. [...] Yes, you do. Everybody does. I don't mind. It's useful."

(Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's)

Men = Shoes (Did Anyone Else See It This Way?)

Men are like Shoes:

the ones that we like, cost a tidy penny.
only a few of them deserve to be cherished more than one season.
the cozy ones don't attract us, and the ones that do, don't want to get in.
one is enough only for Cinderella.
some of them deserve to be left at the door.
the ones with heels hate us [women].
the world judges you based on them.
they must be polished, but first, you have to spit on them.
they must be tread down.

(Humorous, indeed. Men, do forgive us. We sometimes feel a certain need to mock the male species)

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

So no one told me life was gonna be this way
My job's a joke, I'm broke, my love life's DOA
It's like I'm always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been my day, my week, my month, or even my year...




(welcome, to my newest obsession. and it's just because i miss 'em.)

Unintended

'YOU
could be my
UNINTENDED
choice to live my life extended
YOU
could be the one I'll always
LOVE

...

I'll be there as soon as I can
But I'm busy mending
BROKEN pieces of the
LIFE
I HAD BEFORE.'
