| comments: If history is any indication, this one oughta be astounding. |

| moretoknow profile - diary |
| comments: I'm not sure how I missed her journal before now. It's nice to find something intuitively good, when you're convinced everything is old-hat. But this is more than a journal. Like, lots more. |

| incog-notion profile - diary |

| geoffchaucer profile - diary |
My favorite music: |
| Lou Reed |
| comments: If I had this dude's voice, and his sun glasses, I could be the supreme dictator of the world. And don't think for one instant that I wouldn't like that. |
| Sibelius |
| comments: 2nd. And Beethoven...I like the 4th & 7 symphonies, and the 5th piano concerto with chorale fantasie. I hate the fact that when I type 'Beethoven 4th' into Limewire, I get 8 million hits to the fourth movement of the 9th symphony. Fuck the 9th. |
| AIR |
| comments: Tom Waits. Also The Wallflowers, even though the album is haunting me and, therefore, hidden somewhere in my house. Bach's piano and cello stuff. |
| NIN |
| comments: Old Trent stays here like my favorite t-shirt from 10th grade. I couldn't have written my thesis without him. Also: Ella, Wir Sind Helden, Indigo Girls, Gillian Welch |
| New Order |
| comments: Johnny Cash, The Smith, Joy Divison, Steve Earle, The Postal Service, Allison Krause, Interpol, The Shins, Die Fantastischen 5, The Cure, Bjork, Sinead, The Earlies, Cardigans, James, Portishead, BV Social Club, Gus Gus, Aimee Mann, Dire Straits, Beck, B |
My favorite movies: |
| Almost Famous |
| comments: So this is the only movie I know of that makes me cry. Maybe it's absurd, but that scene in the airport really kills me. Update: You Can Count On Me makes me cry harder. |
| The Sweet Hereafter |
| comments: Probably the best film every made, I think. Originally a novel by R. Banks. Scarry pied piper scene at the end.In a similar vein: The Ice Storm rocks, too. Anything but American Beauty. |
| Bergman |
| comments: Persona, Winter Light, Fellini: La Strada, also City of Lost Children, anything Buffy, Wonder Boys, Gattaca, The Insider, All the Real Girls, Storytelling |
| Eyes Wide Shut |
| comments: Am I the only one who liked it? And for some weird reason, I'm also enamored by, um...the movie Threesome. |
| Amelie |
| comments: Of course, Amelie. And Lola Rennt. Run Lola Run. Donnie Darko was here, but there is a giant unforgiveable flaw in that film which annoys the fuck out of me. |
My favorite authors: |
| William Faulkner |
| comments: brilliant curmudgeon with enough narrative genius to impress gods. My thesis was on the ways in which his narrative methods reveal (in fact ARE) thought and perception. And I like Bakhtin a lot, too, while I'm raving. |
| James Joyce |
| comments: Give me "The Dead," some mint ice cream, and a space heater and I'm content for a few months. |
| Annie Proulx |
| comments: And Virginia Woolf. I like that both are women, write, and aren't some poststructuralist moronic feminist lazy whiners. On a different note: I also like Fitzgerald. And Mark Twain. |
| Adam Phillips |
| comments: Object Relations neo-freudian. Wrote "On Kissing, Tickling, and Being bored." Or Nabokov's Speak Memory, but he thinks himself a bit too clever for my tastes. |
| James Wright |
| comments: I don't think I'll ever get tired of rereading "Above the River." Mmm. Other poets: Merwin, Kinnell, Keats, Donne, Eliot, Stevens, Carver, Celan, Rilke, Montale, Milosz |
