i think if i had enough money to spare i'd blow it all on dvds, books, quirky pieces of furniture, CDs.

there are so many DVDs i so want to own! i know i download and stuff but it just isn't the same! when i get my own place i'll have an apartment overflowing with film and literature and artwork.

FILMS I WANT : the red curtain trilogy!, all of charlie kaufman's stuff - adaptation, being john malkovich, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, the truman show, before sunrise and before sunset, you've got mail!, my best friend's wedding, bridget jones diary, love actually, spiderman 1 and 2, shakespeare in love, dead poet's society, never been kissed, sepet, the godfather trilogy, donnie darko, dangerous lives of altar boys, amelie...

and there are many movies i do so want to rent and watch! like the graham greene adaptations and maria full of grace, thirteen, last life on the universe, so very many foreign films!

as for CDs: further seems forever, the vacant andys/the agency, counting crows circa 1990s, the ataris circa 1990s, the rest of dashboard, the get up kids, ben lee, ben folds five, backstreet boys greatest hits [yes i like them okay], the beatles, van morrisson, bob dylan, butch walker...

and more i can't seem to remember offhand.

sigh. i need to stop thinking of all this and get back to work.

i watched the truman show today. i watched it back when there was so much hype about it and i was, in primary school? secondary school? i think i've got to rewatch some movies again because when you read/watch stuff as you get older, the reactions are always different. and that's what i love about this stuff, there's always something new to discover. so i watched it this time and grasped the significance more than i did before and it wowed me. you should watch it too, if you haven't already. jim carrey isn't as bad as we think.
