Il faut oublier
Tout peut s'oublier...
saw a movie called In the mood for love. it was a little melodramatic but beautifully filmed. there's a scene of smoke billowing up to the ceiling that made me forget what i think about cigarettes. plus it has a nice little waltz on the soundtrack and Nat King Cole sings "quizas, quizas, quizas"

last night jeff lehton from high school, who i hadn't seen in 3 years came down from irvine and we hung out. we went to the living room and then to la jolla cove until it got really cold and then we came back to my apartment and watched the daily show and the colbert report. most fun i've had in months. in some ways he's the same ol jeff but he's definitely matured since high school. i wonder how i seemed...anyway i'm probably going up there sometime during spring break so that's one more thing to look forward to.
for the first time since i've started college i really feel like i'm in over my head with studying philosophy. its almost not a matter of if i can do it or not but how long will it take me. my interests are so scattered. right now i'm trying to study immanuel kant and feminist philosophy on my own but sometimes i feel overwhelmed. i guess i should give myself some slack since i'm only in the beginning of my studies but i have more determination now than say, when i was in high school and can sometimes get discouraged if things are too challlenging. i hate the reality of my limitations.
but honestly, i couldn't imagine doing anything else. |

Louise Brooks, one of Jerry's favorite actresses and one of mine always liked to quote Goethe. Goethe would say,... “A human life remains of consequence not because of what we leave behind, but because we act and inspire. And arouse others to action and inspiration. We act and inspire and arouse others to action and enjoyment.” And so, when I think of the legacy of Jerry Harvey's life, I think of it in those terms. I think, you know, he's not a guy who left much behind. What he left behind was in a lot of way, wreckage. And very tragic and costly wreckage. The films that got left behind that he mid-wifed are part of the action and inspiration of his life. He acted and inspired others to value these things of beauty. --f.x. feeney |

school's started, in fact i'm at school w/ my sister.
here's what i'm taking: phil 116: modern mind, phil 140 ethics, anthropology 130, hist 108, and ca 150: nutrition. all my teachers are great. it's going to be hard doing the work and school thing but i'll manage.
my last phone bill was astronomical so please text me unless it's really important or after 9pm. like lillian, lj's kinda boring me so i'll just call someone if i feel like sharing some inane detail about my human experience. peace |

i like my job so far. it is sales though. we have a lot of promotions that change every week so it's a lot to remember but i'm learning. it's surprising how easy it is to get people to buy things. it's all about word choice. no irrate customers as of yet thank god.
i got a letter in the mail a few days ago from school saying that i made the president's list for spring 2005. i couldn't believe it. last spring i failed 3 classes. here's to changing for the better:)
(i'm never taking 17 units again though, très dificil)
move out date is july 21. so excited i can't even contain myself. haha
the only bad news is that my eggmobile finally konked out so i'm looking into getting it fixed but if the work is going to cost more than to car did then might as well look for something new er..used.
hope all is quiet on the western front; my sister has usurped my cell phone and i don't hear who's called for me until days later.
ciabatta, c-i-a-b-a-t-t-a, ciabatta
peace out |

I got a J-O-B.
@ Suncoast (DVDs). It's retail which is good b/c I can't do sales. My sister got a job a victoria's secret. She's pretty happy about that. We're moving into our apartment in late july and i can't wait. they're going to put in new carpets and appliances and put mirrored doors in our closets. i love new carpet.
Lately i've just been showing Charde the ropes and getting her settled. nothing much. but i have a paper to write for class so i'd better get to that. |

J'écoute, j'appelle, je n'entends pas ma voix elle-même et je reste dans un vide intolérable, seul, perdu, incertain, pressé d'inquiétude et d'étonement, au milieu des ombres errantes dans l'espace impalpable et muet. --Senancour

at 4:37 in the morning my cell rang and it woke me up so i answered and some drunken man was mumbling in spanish and i just kept saying, "you have the wrong number, you have the wrong number" to which he would reply "What...What" and i was still half asleep so this went on for about 30-45 seconds and then i just said "goodbye" and turned off my phone. i don't think i'm going to leave my phone on at night anymore
on a side note surrealism is cool

i was driving down jamacha today when i pulled up next to some person and at first i didn't see who it was because i was just you know, singing in my car. then when the light turned green i was driving and this person was driving right next to me. well, i hate it when people drive in my blind spot so i sped up, and then they sped up. i thought this was odd and i looked over to see who it was and it was none other and ashley from family foods who apparently still thinks about me enough to hate me and try to intimidate me in her Green Car of Hatred. she saw me and i smiled and then she sped off around the corner.
she seemed really uptight.
mabye i should buy her an aromatherapy candle.
i feel kinda bad that she still hates me but what are you gonna do? |

i hate it when people do or say mean things to me for no reason at all. it's like they have nothing better to do than take some joy out of my life. what's funny is that they're always people with no personality to speak of, no opinions about anything, which makes it easy to adopt sociopathic behavior and a catatonic expression
scott peterson was a sociopath...hmm
haha
no but, here's is something i do take to heart, "the more you know who you are and what you want, the less you let things upset you".
the good stuff:
i've seen a whole lot of movie lately and here are some of the highlights:
before sunrise
before sunset
platoon
mash
bonnie and clyde
next stop wonderland
the godfather(again)
there are others but i'm too lazy to think about them. my favorite out of those has been before sunrise/sunset. ethan hawke was really good in both movies. he's starting to look old but in a good way. but i'm not saying that it was better than the godfather, it just suits my mood right now...longing to go to paris. next year, next year
