janet frame 'to the is-land'

"i remember a grey day when i stood by the gate and listened to the wind in the telegraph wires. i had my first conscious feeling of an outside sadness, or it seemed to come from outside, from the sound of the wind moaning in the wires. i looked up and down the white dusty road and saw no one. the wind was blowing from place to place past us, and i was there, in between, listening. i felt a burden of sadness and loneliness as if something had happened or begun and i knew about it. i don't think i had yet thought of myself as a person looking out at the world; until then, i felt i was the world."

late nights and half moons and drinking in the morning and in the night and never stopping to remember except when i had to sit in the boot and i looked out at the night sky and felt it all and it seemed fucked until my friend passed me a beer and we laughed till our cheeks hurt and we couldn't laugh anymore but somehow we did and we have our arms around each other walking down the street and we are singing and we cook meals and make tea and we play records in the living room and dance around on the hard wood floors and i climb into bed under heavy blankets and i don't want to think of anything and i sit on buses and think of you and i sit on buses and i don't think of you and i feel the sun and i feel the wind and it is cold without a jumper and i listen to music coming out of my laptop and i feel afraid and it is the middle of the night and there is no other body near me

dreams i've had lately

i kissed your mouth and our teeth merged together

found a whole box of creme eggs

driving in a car, looping around the same track (felt so peaceful, half awake/half-asleep)

an image of myna birds descending from the sky, their wings flapping in unison as they touched the ground

my dog died and i woke up crying

live blog review of the darjeeling limited

basically just watching this to see more of jason schwartzmann
adrien brody looks like what i think my dad looks like
owen wilson seems like a jerk
want to go to india, mostly for the food
feel suspicious about how these three bros are wearing heavy seeming fabrics
wanna have a tryst with jason s in a train bathroom
musing about brotherly dynamics
seems chill to go on a train journey
this movie is perpetuating my feeling that americans frequently binge on prescription drugs
feels amazing to see these 3 bros in the countryside in india, like who are they irl, esp via the part where jason schwartzmann goes 'would we be friends in real life, if we weren't brothers' seems like a good question to think about
family is weird and interesting
keep expecting bill murray to turn up again, seems unlikely he was only in the first 5 mins
feel like all 3 looked better in india apart from maybe j-schwartz who looks the best of all time
not sure what adrien brody's character is going through yet, want to identify with him though
these people in the village seem beautiful and well adjusted despite that little boy dying, wonder what it would be like for that to be the way of life
why do they all have the same luggage
owen wilson's micromanaging and planning down to the minute reminds me of fraser, almost being overbearing in the most affectionate way
these men seem believably blood related
feel frustrated with this movie becuase the things i perceive to be interesting (man eating tiger, why the girl wanted to get off the train, why jack takes the ipod dock around with him, why francis has a PA, how his shoes cost $3000.) are not elaborated on
oh hello montage
being an actor seems so weird, having to do things with your body and have people tell you what to do with it
also francis seems like fraser via 'let's go get a drink and smoke a cigarette'

travel poem 2

can you take off work because you feel sad
going to be late, placing too much hope on a bus

feel suspicious that nobody i know has cancer
suspicious i'm going to be the 1 in 3

my eyes are vibrating in their sockets
wish this was a precurser to levitation

not sure what the point of going places is though
bumblebees here seem big

also suspicious of april's sunshine
i want to close my eyes and not open them until you are here

feeling leaden, smelling of honey
getting lipstick on my keyboard right now
