She keeps looking for patterns, but the world just happens

" As Harold took a bite of the Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt that everything was going to be okay.

Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy...there are Bavarian sugar cookies.

And, fortunately, when there aren't any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin.

Or a kind and loving gesture.

Or a subtle encouragement.

Or a loving embrace.

Or an offer of comfort.

Not to mention hospital gurneys, and nose plugs, and uneaten Danish, and soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters

And maybe the occasional piece of fiction."

From the 2006 film, Stranger than Fiction.


This made my day.

Walk Away Renee (Version)

The funniest spoken-word song I have come across in all my life.

Walk Away Renee
by Billy Bragg

(spoken to the picking of guitar strings)
She said it was just a figment of speech
And I said "You mean figureAnd she said "No, figment
Because she could never imagine it happening. But it did

When we first met I played the Shy boy
When she spoke to me for the first time my nose began to bleed
She guessed the rest

The next day we went on a bus ride to the ferry
And when nobody came to collect our fares
Well I knew then this was something special
I couldn't stop thinking about her
And every time I switched on the radio
There was somebody else singing a song about the two of us

It was just like being on a fast ride at the fun fair
The sort you want to get off because its scary
And then as soon as you're off you want get straight back on again
But all love is strange
And you have to learn to take the crunchy with the smooth I suppose

She began going out with Mr. Potato Head
It was when I saw her in he car park
With his coat around her shoulders that I realized
I went home and thought about the two of them together
Until the bathwater went cold around me
I thought about her eyes and the curve of her breasts
And about the point where their bodies met

I confronted her about it
I said, "I'm the most illegible bachelor in townAnd she said "Yeah that's why I
could never understand any of those silly letters you sent me
And then one day it happened
She cut her hair and I stopped loving her

When coffee is more important

I have a dirty and messy bedroom. But when it came to the coffee machine in the kitchen, i realised i was such a clean freak.

My mom made coffee without a paper filter today and it really got on my nerves.

It's important to keep the filter clean, else where does good coffee come from?

My bloody Valentine

"I ripped your heart out from your chest
Replaced it with a grenade blast"

Sonic Youth, Incinerate

Watch BBC 2's production, 7 ages of rock. you will not regret it.

And I want to watch Pink Floyd's The Wall on DVD!!!

In fact, I am so impressed by Pink Floyd's creativity. They showed that rock music is really a substantial art form.

The Wall was completely Artoudian meets Brechian theatre. Giant puppets of nasty bespectacled teachers, the gradual ascent of the paper box wall between the band and the audience. Oh man, completely alienating but that was the point the band was making about the loss of intimacy with their peaking popularity.

When the wall completely obscured the band, Roger Waters sang: "Goodbye, Cruel World". Brilliant.

Brett anderson and Justine Frischmann of Elastica used to be a pairing.

And they look the same. How freaky, it's like dating you-in-drag. Then again, quite sexy la.
