I hate Woody Allen movies, honestly, i do. I think Woody’s just a boring insipid geek who directs well but can’t act. Of course, i base this on his older movies, since Matt’s friend Amy seems to have a penchant for showing up at our apartment with pre-1990 Woody Allen movies. Right now we’re watching Bananas, which makes so little sense that i’m only really paying attention to the soundtrack (this insane mix of mariachi music and… um… ragtime swing). It’s funny, because now Allen is known for rambling intellectual films, but his old movies seem to have more in common with Mel Brooks or even Naked Gun movies. It’s odd. I hardly know how to judge the old stuff. So… i’ve just decided to hate it.

I saw Selina today. Only for a handful of minutes… i gave her a too-expensive digital video tape from last semester to use for her class. She’s in the same class that lead me to ponder how a close-up view of someones face is totally different from watching them from afar. Yeah. Anyhow, it’d been over two weeks since i saw Selina at all, and that’s a long time. Today felt right, though. We spoke as friends, we made irrelevant commentary on things, and we both had a smile on our face. Afterwards i had my first voice lesson. It all felt right.

SavvyMel on my recent trends of songwriting: “Well, after one’s suffered like…masses of depression you’re suddenly flung into a realm of euphoria or so I’ve observed. But this is freaking cool because you’re peppy songs are turning out to be great ventures of musical experience.”


Um, Mel, was that a compliment?

I drew a picture of your face, but it wasn’t so big that i could not erase it. But I thought about getting it tattooed, but that would have been a mistake, more like something you would do. I see your body every night in my dreams; it’s not as unlikely as it seems, ’cause i still think about it nearly every single day. But usually my head gets right in the way. I don’t think this means i’m over you. I don’t think this means i’m over you. I thought about calling once or twice, but i don’t think that would’ve been very nice. You would’ve thought that it meant something more, and it wouldn’t have meant anything like what it meant before. I don’t think this means i’m over you. I don’t think this means i’m over you. I have our memories set up on repeat, but telling you that doesn’t seem to be discrete. Just know that i don’t plan to forget … but i’m not coming back to you. Yet. I don’t think this means i’m over you. I don’t think this means i’m over you.
