The Polyphonic Spree & Michael Clayton

I saw Michael Clayton again. Do you ever have dreams that include "people you knew as a child" but when you wake up, you cannot remember if you ever knew the people with those names? Part of dream this morning included me looking through old photographs of a school field trip but it took me a while to recognize all of the people I knew. Yet now that I am awake, I believe I only imagined the people I could not recognise in the photographs.

Anyways, I think I enjoyed it as much as a could. I hate the Gateway Theatre. Their arcade uses 'tokens', the chairs are uncomfortable, the theaters are too bright, and the atmosphere is very accomidating to the 'mall-rat' persona. Despite all that crap, it's a great movie & I hope to see it a third time in the theater.

I'm undergoing massive philosophical changes, mostly in an esoteric way. In void of human drama, I make a big deal about simple mistakes that nobody cares about. Like calling a visitor/relative the wrong name. Most people think of the imagination as something very distant from reality, but I've found in the past few weeks that the things I can imagine are more real than some of the things I actually feel & experience. But this factor of 'more real' is entirely psychological- for the things I imagine do effect my perception of reality, thereby making what I believe to feel as 'more real' an actual manifestation of whatever imaginary thing is effecting me.
But, concerning human drama-what's funny about making a 'big deal' is simply by recalling a mistake I made, it causes people to tell me "It's okay", "It's no big deal", or "Don't worry about it". It's sort of like a 'self-pity' trigger. People are Slow Guns, waiting to have their triggers pulled. Everything exists in the mind before it comes to pass in reality, therefore our dreams are the only factor of our identities that matter. THE UNICORN IS REAL BECAUSE IT BELIEVES IN ALICE!

Also; Reach For The Sun! 2000 places at once! Take them all together and keep them warm!

I'll close with an anecdote/review of a GREAT film.;
10/12/07: I saw Michael Clayton last night. It was awesome. Reminded me a lot of 'Pi'... My exact words were "It's like this generation's Pi". Tilda Swinton was amazing, Tom Wilkinson too. I was surprised because usually I get very bored in movies like that and It only got boring once. Although, the American mis-conception of " all lawyers are souless" aspect/theme in the movie was a bit obnoxious.
Oh, As I got out of the car to walk into the thearte I noticed the button on my pants had fallen off. It was a very interesting and somewhat thematic problem that was quickly solved by quick thinking not of my own. Whenever I was walking around I had my hands in my pockets and would periodically have to re-sitch them higher. What a weird word 'sitch'. What a bizzare phrase "Weird word". Its one of those that would sound very funny if you just repeat it over and over tens of times. Also, "Rainbow Sommersault", and "They are building something else."

I'll close with a list of phrases that sound best when repeated 32 times;
"We can not let you go in there"
"Data goes into my-mind"
"Racoon macaroon, bacon bacon"
"Mythical Carnivores who breathe & Spit-fire"
And lastly "How am I not myself?"
