20x6

Ok, so I have to write this all down before I forget. I had an interesting dream last night, it involved one Stephen Colbert – don’t get ahead of me. So, for some reason he was one of the pastors of the church I went to ‘that day’ (I guess it was a Sunday) and his wife and family and everyone was there too. One of his friends had parked his car somewhere he wasn’t allowed to (like on a sidewalk) and Stephen offered to move it for him, and for some reason I also went to help move it.

Well, we get out to the car and it’s this amazingly beautiful light silver Mercedes Benz sports car (I’m sure my little brother could actually give me a model name that would sound convincing). So I try to touch the car, since it’s so beautiful, but I get chastised for smudging the wax or something. But then there’s a moment when I look at him and he looks at me and we jump into the car and go for a mega joy ride.

And then for some reason later we’re in buildings running around like we’re being chased, but we’re not. And I forget most of the details of that part, but we end up peeking over this stone, castle like wall over this courtyard and through a window where the church service is still taking place.

Stephen Colbert goes back inside to tell his friend he parked his car and to give back the keys and his wife comes out to peer over the wall with me. She seemed really cool. I think we giggled and talked for a while. Then I started to wake up and began to realize that, in fact, none of this was true. I was a little convinced that he was the pastor, and I had some way of rationalizing it too, but whatever.

Anyway, that’s my dream, maybe its weird, I just think it’s funny.

Now is the winter of your discontent!

Those of you who know me (I think everyone who reads my blog does know me, I don’t seem to be world renowned like Dinah) know that I have very pale skin. This causes me to burn (and no, tanning doesn’t work) in 10 minutes of direct sunlight and so I wear SPF 50 sunscreen (I would wear SPF 500 if I could find it). But something is changing, from all previous data it was inconclusive as to whether I had any melanin in my skin at all – I have been called an albino before (as well as no-hair, but that is semi-unrelated). But now, it seems that I do have melanin and even what I have is leaving me. Firstly, I have a white (not grey) streak of hair at the base of my neck; this is because the skin there has lost any memory of melanin. This has also happened in a spot on my right thumb and one of my knuckles. I am finding more and more white spots on my skin.

I fear I will turn completely pasty with no exaggeration of the lack of colour in my skin. I find more and more spots, on my hands especially, and soon I will not be translucent anymore, but fully transparent. And by the way, if you think I have a pen mark on the side of my chin, I don’t, you can just seen the vein through my skin. Not that it will be noticeable, just a slow cross-fading process from white to colourless void.

I don’t know what I’m trying to accomplish with this post, just wanted to tell you how I’m fading into spectral oblivion. Pasty is as pasty does.

In other news, I love my bike. Its actually my brother’s old bike, but its quality and rides real good. The seat is a little crappy, but maybe I’ll get my dad to help me fix that. I also love toe-clips (not actual clips, the ones you slide your sneakers into). They just make riding seem easier. I was thinking today how my brother would never let me touch his bike when he first got it (and pretty much until he gave it to me) but now its mine and I could add cotton-candy coloured streamers and daisy decals if I wanted. I won’t, though, I like the grayish matte colour it is, makes it blend in with the crappy bikes so its less of a target.

Ok, 4th longest post ever.

If you ever go to Pizza Pizza (like walk-in/take-out) you have to put italiano seasoning on your slice, way better than dipping sauces.

Just to clear things up

Ok people, some impressionist art has people in it. I’m trying to say that I prefer the stuff without people in it, is that so hard to accept? Pyweon, I know you like people art, we’ve been over this before. And Jonathan, I’m basing my like/better like of Dvorjak and Vivaldi based mostly on playing 2nd violin parts in orchestra. Maybe the cello in Dvorjak, or the overall output pleases you better, but I’m just saying. I’m allowed to just say on my blog!

And Dinah, Adrien and I, well, I first met him when I watched The Village, but there was no gorgeous-ity going on b/c his character is kinda weird and creepy in that one. I started crushing when I saw him in King Kong (he was pretty much the only thing that made the 3.5 hours bearable, did it really have to be that long?) But semi-recently I watched The Pianist, which he won the Oscar for. Not only was he gorgeous in that, but amazing in many other ways as well. As for Adam Brody, he’s cute, but not gorgeous, nice connection though.

Any more questions on past post content? I would be happy to clear things up/argue with you about it. Seriously, bring it on.

Rainy Days

You may have noticed that I have not been posting as often as in the summer. This is because I am no longer working at the pension company where I needed some distraction from the grey-space monotony and now I have a little more of a life during the day. That and I’m not sitting in front of a computer for 8 hours and so posting is more of an effort. Just to put that out there. Also, be prepared to hear a lot more about linguistics, since my entire life now revolves around the subject.

Hmmm, what to write about...

I love the group of 7. In general I’m not overawed by art with people in it. I like the impressionistic stuff, the contrast of colour and texture.

Dvorjak is a pretty ok guy, but I think I like Vivaldi better.

And Adrien Brody is absolutely gorgeous. Crooked nose just adds to it.
