"'You gave me hyacinths first a year ago; 'They called me the hyacinth girl.' -Yet when we came back, late, from the hyacinth garden, Your arms full, and your hair wet, I could not Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither Living nor dead, and I knew nothing, Looking into the heart of light, the silence." �T.S. Eliot, "The Wasteland" (1922)

| selfrespect profile - diary |
| comments: I like Selfrespect's diary. Seems like the kind of person who would listen to Nelly Furtado on a loop |
| autumn580 profile - diary |
| comments: Bumble buddy |
My favorite music: |
| The Sundays |
| comments: The Sundays everyday! Finger snapping, bubble gum chewing, sneaker shuffling pop music. Clever and irresponsibly optimistic, but always tinged with just a spot of melancholy, they are the most celebrated underachievers of British pop. |
| Aimee Mann |
| comments: Baby won't you be my heroine? |
| Tone Damli Aaberge |
| comments: She is so hot that only China causes more global warming. |
| Gigliola Cinquetti |
| comments: Dio come ti amo |
| J.S. Bach |
| comments: Bach's piety heals the torment of our faithlessness. (And yeah, I lifted that from Bergman. What are you going to do about it?) |
My favorite movies: |
| Late Spring |
| comments: Noriko completes every Japanese love story |
| The Passion of Joan of Arc |
| comments: The Tragedy of the Saint, you guys |
| Andrei Rublev |
| comments: Created behind the Iron Curtain, Soviet era film about an insular artist's conflicting obligations to himself and his undeserving countrymen. |
| Winter Light |
| comments: Irrespective of everything, you will hold your communion. It is important to the churchgoer, but even more important to you. We shall have to see if it is important to God. If there is no other god than your hope as such, it is important to that god too |
| Patlabor 2 |
| comments: Mamoru Oshii transmutes Tokyo into a phantasmagorical landscape of the hyper real. Equal parts Baudrillard's Disneyland and Eliot's "Unreal City," the film is suffused with caustic pessimism but not without a distant faith of renewal. |
My favorite authors: |
| William Faulkner |
| comments: Declined to accept the end of man |
| Jane Austen |
| comments: Stone Cold Jane Austin |
| William Kennedy |
| comments: My favorite living author. Through his novels, Kennedy presents to the world an Albany every bit as absorbing and labyrinthine as Joyce's Dublin or Dickens' London. Well, maybe not Joyce's Dublin, but certainly Dickens' London. Yeah |
| Fyodor Dostoyevsky |
| comments: Fyodor, the gift of God. Everything that needs to be known about life can be learned from "The Brothers Karamavoz" |
| James Joyce |
| comments: Faithful escort through the hell of Modernism |
