I can only dream of being as beautiful as this book/movie...

Yes. It's that time again. I'm almost done listening to The Virgin Suicides audio book. Next comes watching the movie. Then reading the hard copy. My obsession is crazy, but calming in a way. I just wish there was more to learn. Nothing is as beautiful as that book. And the movie does a darn good job. (with a few mistakes)

Random, badass, makes no fucking sense but is AWESOME!!!

Clark Gable by The Postal Service

I was waiting for a cross-town train in the London underground when it struck me
That I've been waiting since birth to find a love that would look and sound like a movie
So I changed my plans I rented a camera and a van and then I called you
"I need you to pretend that we are in love again" and you agreed to

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend as my stand-in
The script it called for rain but it was clear that day so we faked it
The marker snapped and I yelled "quiet on the set" and then called "action!"
And I kissed you in a style that Clark Gable would have admired (I thought it classic)

I want so badly to believe that "there is truth, that love is real"
And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd

I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the fear
That your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close By Jonathan Safran Foer

Amazon Page

I just finished reading this Monday night, and again am blown away by Jonathan Safran Foer. (He wrote Everything is Illuminated, which I've posted about here before)

Just like Everything is Illuminated, this book can easily make me cray, laugh, reread, want to scream, breaks my heart, rebuilds it back up... all over and over again.

“I pointed her index fingers toward each other and slowly, very slowly, moved them in, the closer they got, the more slowly I moved them, and then, as they were about to touch, as they were only a dictionary page from touching, pressing on opposite sides of the word “love,” I stopped them, I stopped them and held them there. I don’t know what she thought, I don’t know what she understood, or what she wouldn’t allow herself to understand, I turned around and walked away from her, I didn’t look back, I won’t.”


“Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war, and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are.”

“Songs are as sad as the listener.”

These quotes almost make it seem like an all sad book. But it's truly beautiful. About an odd little boy on a mission after his father is killed in the Sept 11th attacks. I'll leave it at that.. Plus there is still a numbers puzzle in the book that I need to figure out... I love puzzles.

WANT!

Just another Wed.

Uuugh it's windy out, and I didn't bring a sweater. It's only 10am, and I already want to go home. I could just leave, as my boss is gone, and the female PT sees how bored I am and told me I could go out and do stuff.. But I have to be here at 3 for sure, and I have to pick up my car pool buddy at 5. Maybe I'll leave for lunch early. Go to the Post Office, maybe hit up Longs/CVS and get a few things I need. Meh

For now, I'll sit in my office, with the heater all the way up.. and try not to fall asleep on my keyboard. Maybe watch something online... or read. All I really want it a juice box, a snack, and nap time.

A few pictures to show how awesome we are...
