for Jill (with love!) |
Jill sits there, stirring
a cup of tea, pond'ring
life's meaning, struggling
to keep herself sane.
points of ellipsis,,,
points of suspension,,,
comma comma comma,,,
dot dot dot ...
Jill's has talent,
she's got a lot,
Jill's pretty cool,
and i bet she's hot.
the staccatto feel,
of thoughtful posts,
i enjoy Jill's style,
right along it coasts.
i'd steal Jill's heart,
like a skilled looter,
send her poems,
from my computer,
go ride in her truck,
even take the scooter.

It's about the poetry?
I'm pretty sure it's just gravity trying to drop his pants on any female
naive enough to take the chain lock off.

Gravity has feelings for a woman in the Northeast, not anyone in ASD
(although Violet is exceedingly intelligent). it's simply easier to write
poems from the standpoint of love, rather than a subject like hatred or
depression. perhaps not poetry, but a form of nonsensical free verse.

Love, beauty, truth can inspire great poetry.
The imagery in my mind is more on the lines of
I'll do what I like
when I like, how I like
I've got my life on track
but there aint space for two
This is not aimed at you Michael, just an indication of where I'm at.
but I enjoyed watching "Emma" - Jane Austen, last night. :-)

Thanks, I don't aim for happy, content is more lasting.
I've been writing you a poem in my head but most of my thoughts come at
night & in the morning I can't remember them. A lot of it has nature
imagery; can always rely on nature to feed the soul. :-)

I'm not in a state to start writing, too many disorganised thoughts &
emotions. I'm hoping I stay well but it's early days yet & I have a few
nagging doubts.
"Can it really be this easy to escape the darkness?" etc Take care,

most of my gibberish is spontaneous, however i'm now composing while i'm
driving the car. i'm starting a notebook with random thoughts, sort of a
journal for the not so sane. i considered writing a journal back in 1997,
when i was starting to get sick, i thought it would be interesting to see
the progression of the illness (for future purposes).
i'm paranoid about written journals. hell i don't even write postal
letters, i send cards with one or two lines. i guess i should use a
computer and encrypt it.

You don't have to encrypt stuff on the computer - talk about fucking
overkill for your Jack Handy thinking.
For instance one of my bills that needs to get paid has 14/6/15/25/48 on
the front, written on the bottom right corner...does that mean anything
to you? It tells me the amount of the bills, when it's due, check
number, and date to mail it.
As for notes, I keep a micro-cassette recorder by the bed, that's where
I often think of things.

I tried to watch "Pride and prejudice" yesterday. First the recent film,
which annoyed me, then the 1999(?) BBC version, which played up.
First the TV downstairs insisted on playing it widescreen, which I hate,
then the upstairs VCR collapsed in tears, then the downstairs VCR, which
I'd brought upstairs to get the right shaped image, played it in a very
odd fashion. After half an hour of trying everything I could think of, I
looked at the tape, to find it damaged.
All I need now is a new copy - there are lots on eBay. Maybe I'll get
the 1979 (Fay Weldon) version too. And "Emma", and "Persuasion" (one of
my favourites in the oeuvre). I already have "Sense and sensibility".
Have they done "Northanger Abbey" and "Mansfield Park", do you know?

I thought I'd seen both but i just checked to make sure; you can get a

This is not aimed at you Michael, just an indication of where I'm at.
but I enjoyed watching "Emma" - Jane Austen, last night. :-)
I tried to watch "Pride and prejudice" yesterday. First the recent film,
which annoyed me, then the 1999(?) BBC version, which played up.
First the TV downstairs insisted on playing it widescreen, which I hate,
then the upstairs VCR collapsed in tears, then the downstairs VCR, which
I'd brought upstairs to get the right shaped image, played it in a very
odd fashion. After half an hour of trying everything I could think of, I
looked at the tape, to find it damaged.
All I need now is a new copy - there are lots on eBay. Maybe I'll get
the 1979 (Fay Weldon) version too. And "Emma", and "Persuasion" (one of
my favourites in the oeuvre). I already have "Sense and sensibility".
Have they done "Northanger Abbey" and "Mansfield Park", do you know?
I thought I'd seen both but i just checked to make sure; you can get a
JA set of all 6 mentioned above.
I liked Olivier as Darcy, he still rocks my boat. ;-)
You didn't like the wet tee-shirt version? ;)

That actor Colin Firth? is fine but the wet shirt, I'm afraid I'm a bit
of a wet blanket (excuse the pun) I thougth, "quick get out of those
wet clothes and into warm towel before you get pneumonia".
OK maybe my thoughts didn't stop there. But Olivier was definately
unsurpassable IMO :-)

I agree that Olivier has a certian smoldering quality that is very sexy
and belongs to him and him alone.
I think its a mistake to compare the two men though. they are both
very attractive in different ways,, I love colin Firth,, he is funny
and so tender somehow. they are just different guys

Yes, I love CF in lots of his other films too, "girl with a pearl

But as Darcy, IMO he couldn't poss. be arrogant enough, & is obviously

film is such a collabrative thing. Who knows what makes a movie
work . Casting is critical. It's not getting someone really good.
its much harder then that. music , director's vision.
I just saw Memoirs of a Geshia. I read the book which was

should be told reflected in a larger story Even the camera angles

see more. My point is its hard to make a good movie that holds up over
time.
Colin was as good as olivier in girl with the pearl earring. It is
not just can he act. Sure he can . Its the other actors , its the
direction, sometimes if all the elements are right the movie takes on
an energy of its own. Its like its alive.

I agree, Girl with a Pearl Earing was an incredible film, not least in
the authentic setting & lighting. Colin is v.v. good.
Maybe I should explain the class system in the UK & you may see my
attempt at humour.
I was born bottom rung (working class) actually moree 'trailer trash
since my father was too 'ill' to work.
Colin is obviously a middle class lad ( I think his father was a
teacher) seems Upper Middle so prob. was a teacher at a public (ie fee
paying) school.
Olivier seemed upper class (really low upper)
So......fianlly my TIC comment about 'not upper rung'

a good movie is 6 degrees of separation. a lower-class black man cons his
way into the upper class. a brilliant idea for a movie, based on a true
story.
i was not a fan of Kandinsky at the time. there are some neat little things
like them saying "sofa" instead of "couch". not pretence, since the upper
class sets the rules. just a different way of living.

I've not seen that but sounds interesting. Even when people try to 'put
on' a posh accent, it can be quite easy to spot like the sofa/couch. A
complete giveaway is people who say lounge when referring to their
living room; only hotels etc. have lounges. Also Dinner is technically
the main meal of the day, whenever it's eaten, but working class people
usually call the mid-day meal 'dinner', even if it should be Lunch. I
don't but then I studied Domestic Science (cooking) ;-)
No-one in the UK would think I ws posh but in the states, I've been
complimented on my lovely accent :-))
