yes, it's chaos, clocks, and watermelons - you know, it's - it's everything

Why haven't I written to this in ages? Damn... I'm lazy. I've seen a few good films since I last wrote on here.

Indiana Jones was good. I think. The ending kind of through me off. Was I watching Stargate or Indiana Jones?

A Scanner Darkly was an interesting flick. I'm not really sure what the point of it was though.

I'm Not There wasn't quite what I expected, but Bob Dylan is the greatest, thus it was a great film. Cate Blanchett made a hot Bob Dylan - or rather, Judie Quinn.

The original Lord of the Flies from 1963 wasn't quite as good as what I expected. Watching Simon get killed was horrific, however. I'm glad I was finally able to watch it.

I want to see The Strangers.

dancing on that highway sixty-one
did i ever tell you about the time i flew away on a dirigible?
bob dylan was there, or hell, it might've been billy the kid
but it was a good time full of shot gun shells and harmonicas
we watched a film and drank tequila and flew over the football game below
and that was when i decided to jump out 'cause the kid had a pistol
and i fell and i kept on falling and falling until the ground came flying up
and the judges gave me a seven-point-nine for my faceplant
so i of course had a few words with those geeks
and they promptly changed their score to a ten-dot-nine
and i think i was pretty well-pleased with that
but then that dirigible came crashing down
and i had to jump out of the way lest i be crushed by that inflated hot air
and that's when everyone started screaming and running and hollering
so the kid pulled out his guitar and played a little song
and everyone sat back down as calm as could be
so we saddled up on some horses and road off into the horizon
and on our way there we ran into jesus and buddha and even krishna too
and the three of us had a gay old party with wine and cheese
we danced until the night took its rest
and then we parted ways and never saw those folk again.
