did a photoshoot, totally uninspired and the results i guess reflect that. i don't even want to download the photos onto my computer ...

we watched shopgirl, with was utter BS, like a bedtime story...'lesson' about life and love and shit. i mean such a tale/lesson could be cool but this was just blah. not annoying though, harmless is the word. our 2nd movie of the night was freejack. it was real BAD, but, there was this early 90's nostalgia that almost made me smile... kinda top gunnish style...and mick jagger was in one of the leading roles :D david johansen from New York Dolls played a small part too.

i think i was supposed to do something tomorrow but i can't remember what. i've been lazy using the calendar for the past 2 months. the few meetings and agreements that i had, i could easily remember. but now i'm already filling in my first week after my return home, arranging this and that...

suddenly i feel a bit weird, i wanna listen to stuff like Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. i'm not really familiar with that at all... i just know the names and occasionally would hear a tune here or there, like in a movie. i just unexpectedly felt like trying it out. it's funny stuff. not bad, i must say.

i've been feasting on reading all these books lately, i almost feel literate again! i used to read a lot before but when i turned into an internet addict i stopped reading. anyhow, the books i've been reading are so easy... just, easy to read, easy to follow, easy topics, easy language. i was looking at my book pile and noam chomsky caught my attention. i pick it up. the thick book is full of small font with small spacing (have to take a photo of it) from cover to cover and the content...well. yea, it's noam chomsky. my newborn feeling of literacy crashlanded hard. a few hours, or days, or books, and i'd get back into reading intellectual material and have my brain functioning again but it's so tough!

*is listening to Frank Sinatra*
i googled the lyrics to "Strangers in the night", i know i've heard this before, it's a classic.
"Something in your eyes was so inviting,
Something in you smile was so exciting,
Something in my heart,
Told me I must have you."

boy, lyrics nowadays are not that fuckin romantic. i feel all giddy listening to this, it's like watching an old movie. really old.
