DoItAgain- QOTSA



I fall over and over and over over, oh, I want you
I get in, I get in, I get in, you're the only one I'm into
You and me
Fit so tight
I go lower and lower and lower lower livin easy
I don't know, I don't know how long I got till it's over
You and me
Fit so tight

Can you do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Can you do it again

All the way, all the way, all the way, there's no where left we can be
I'm into what you do but I lead you nowhere
You and me
Fit so tight
All we need
Is one more time

Can you do it again
Do it again
Do it again
Can you do it again

Only get to live one life
Won't pretend you're only mine
Where will you go when we all fall away

So do it again
Do it again

question

is there a key to avoiding misfortune?

a way to test psychics

make a pact with your lover that whomever dies first, finds a medium, and tells them the secret password or poem, and has the medium repeat it back to you.

this is the most perfect way to test psychic powers.

plus, it would be so romantic picking out the message or poem to memorize together, right?

torn curtain

this hitchcock was quite possibly in the top 5 for me. i loved the relationship. i did have a problem with julie andrews in the roll, but it really wasn't that big of a problem.

favorite scene - green room - position of bodies - looked like a sketch.

favorite sound scene - being followed in the museum scene.

marnie

after asking marnie to the horse tracks:
marnie: do you like horses?
sean connery: not at all.

Car in The Birds


well in my quest to watch every hitchcock in sequential order, i am finally at THE BIRDS. comment? awesome! gory! cool car! i love tippy hedron's lips! tippy hedron kind of looks like paris hilton, no?

the car melanie* drives is an Aston Martin DB2 - drop head coupe. The car was unfortunately TOTALLED, so no longer exists i guess. what a shame.



*tippy hedron plays melanie. tippy hedron is melanie griffiths mother. interesting fact, no?

new continuing dream

i'm pretty sure this is the 2nd time i've had this dream.

i'm hanging out with trailer trash friends. we are all drinking. someone in the group dies - i happen to be there. there is a guy and a girl and they both decide to hide the body in a closet in the house where we are partying. the house belongs to an old boss of mine who harbors ill-will towards me.

this happens a second time, but this time they take the body to the water and bury it at sea - with no one knowing.

one day, i was hanging out at the house, and look up, and see the first body, still rotting in the closet. i feel all of this horror and guilt, and try to get the people back to the house to remove the first body. i wake up before the dream is resolved.

this dream could mean a lot of different things. the main part of it being the same thing that my other re-occuring dream meant - hiding something. i wonder what i am hiding tho? last weekend i told my 2 deepest darkest secrets to mia, and i'm fine with them. i don't harbor them as evil anymore. so i wonder what this is all about.

personal goals


i've decided i want to be a cross of khloe kardashian, and maggie gyllenhaal.

angora

tuesdaydream

i had a dream that i was helping liz pick out her outfits, because she looked terrible in all the paparazzi shots of her in 2009.
and i also got a 98 dollar ticket for jumping lanes in front of a police man, while i was driving the miata.
apparently it was my 2nd ticket, and i started getting really stressed out about money, and upset that all of my extra cash had to go towards extra mistakes.

to i guess i need to be a little careful when i'm driving around over the next few months, while i am finishing the final payments on one of my loans.

paying off loans is a bummer. but its funny how quickly we forget about them once the payment is gone.

i spent my weekend in the valley of los angeles.

2dreams

whoa whoa whoaaaaaaaaaaa. i just remembered my dream.

anderson cooper was hanging out with me. wha? well not really. he was just around. and i was talking about this guy who was hot, a news anchor.

wait a sec. i had incredible dreams last night.

there was this guy that had been jailed for a very long time for breaking an entering at a cathedral. he finally escaped. at this point in his life he had wasted into slimy troll - but had the stamina to climb stairs?

so he escapes back into the cathedral and tries to climb to the top. he makes it past the guards and is still climbing climbing climbing. i woke up when he was at a section of the cathedral devoted to modern-day successful people.

anyway. anderson cooper was hanging, and i was talking to this 8 year old telling her about how hot this certain news anchor was, and that he also had a really hot mother. anderson just kind of looked at me.

and then we all sat down on the couch together, and watched the news.

wokework

i woke up this morning 100% happy about my little life & job & love. i woke up feeling like everything is in its right place, right now.

things dont work out - for a right place.
things work out - for a right place.
its all the right place.

this is going to lead to something else that leads to something else.

it all clearly made sense to me. it felt small, and special, and fun.

and then the moment passed, and i got in line to take a shower.

laying

thinking about valentines day. and thinking about things you talk about when you are laying in bed with someone.

this sort of hits home right now.

rearwindow


last night was rear window. loved a comment someone made in the special features about identity. he said jb grabbed for his camera flash as a means to protect himself. the only way he knew how. with his identity. that ended up only delaying the inevitable.

scorpio


i had a dream the other night that there was a scorpion on my bed.

dial m



loved the opening scene in dial m for murder. i'm finally getting to the more popular hitchcocks. so anyway, loved the opening scene, and loved the guilty color sequence.

change in plans

why am i completely OK with running away as fast as i can?

i don't want anything with this person.

its proximity. thats all it is. a weekend without will do me good.

oh look at that blueberry scone

do you mind if i sleep here?
i like your company

sleep
hand rest hip
head rest shoulder
feet rest feet
breathe listen
listen breathe
big breath!
tiny breath.
face nose face
knee thigh knee
breathe listen breathe
smile cheeks hurt

hours pass

hours pass

coffee vanilla
almond blueberry
crumbs drops
papers music
walk drive bike
air wind hair

we ooze modesty.
