Chances are I'll be gone by then

If anybody makes a mix cd for you and says there is no message or meaning hidden between the notes then that's just a baldheaded lie. I just don't believe it. There is always a subconscious (sometimes not so subconscious) plot to the selection and placement of those exact songs; whether or not it is a chronological path to 'I love you' or a dark plea for the shining deliverance of another or a secret key to unlock a door in your heart, I have never ever splattered random 'files' onto the proverbial canvas and reached for the sharpie.

So you might have guessed that I cleaned the lens of my metaphysical microscope for the first mix cd I've ever gotten. I've learned a lot. Through The Smiths, Chris Murray and Cat Power, the words between the lines/tracks really do seem to spell out ' (just) friends no matter how often we weave across each other's paths in life'. I'm happy with this.

It seems like I have to accidentally watch films nowadays. Due to the fact that I can only allow myself to view the piece in it's entirety, I can never seem to allot the necessary time between pretending to study and other activities unless I do like tonight and just find something suddenly and just ride it to the end. In this case 'The Thomas Crown Affair' on the teevee. I've never seen it until 1 hour ago and I enjoyed it very much. I love the ambiguous 'paths' (word of the day?) the main characters took during the entire cat and mouse chase, so very clever. What really caught my eye also (besides how Brosnan's bowler hat tied the music and the action together so perfectly during the great un-theft scene at the end) was the Detective character and (spoilers ahead) his caring, been-hurt-badly-by-love-but-you-just-can't-quit attitude, especially at the end when he sort of goes off into the sunset without the girl but with his chin up. Very warm. Of course played by Dennis Leary. Go fig.
