i've been reading a lot more lately. it's been book after book, as compared to the DVD binge i embarked on last year.

finished flowers for algernon. it was really just too sad, too sad. everyone cries over retarded people stories. am right now reading Arundhati Roy's An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire and she is brilliant!

anyway i wonder, how is it that in rubbish bins (in my house that is) orange peels and chocolate wrappers fail to attract ants while should they be left on a table, a trail of ants will invariably start creeping up from their secret hiding places. do rubbish bins emit some sort of 'don't come to me' aura or are ants just too lazy to climb into them and climb out again.

geez, why am i even thinking about these things. work has left me with a lot of free patches of time lately to read before it gets busy next week. and also, upon reflection today, while i feel that production IS interesting, i would first and foremost want to be the creator - meaning, i would rather write scripts or direct. be at the very front of creating art, rather than 'producing' it. no, it isn't a want or a rather, it is a NEED.

in french, director is 'realisateur' (i think). i think it's a very interesting term. realizer - this can be read in so many ways!
