I've been making more of an effort to get to know people in town - to cultivate new friendships. David, for instance, the guy who responded to my personals ad. We went out a few times but it became apparent that there wasn't really going to be anything romantic about it, so we decided we could still hang out and be friends, since we enjoyed each others' company.
We went to the movies this week, and saw Iris.
I can understand why it's gotten the critical praise that it's gotten, and all four of the lead actors were just incredible, but for some reason it left me feeling a little flat. And I think that had more to do with the movie's editing and production design than anything else. It resembled nothing so much as a really well-made TV film - which might be explained by the fact that it was made for BBC Films.
I'm frankly agog that it's March already. Where the hell is the year going? In a short thirty-one days the first quarter of 2002 will be over.
Maybe I shouldn't be dwelling on that information. Maybe that's just the reverse of wishing your life away or living for the future. We'll call it the "Living in Shock That the Past is Gone" Syndrome. Sound good?
