stuff i'm thinking about

[this post has no real subject.]

1. movies about the end of the world that i want to see really, really badly

melancholia
i've probably already posted about this. have i? whatever. exciiited.

another earth
just watched the trailer. end of the world movies are a new obsession.

2. covers by kevin barnes that i really, really like

harvest moon (originally neil young)
sidenote: i'm not endorsing the homemade video, just the song

starman (originally david bowie)

3. philosophical readings

(wellsortof). i have this book called 101 experiments in the philosophy of everyday life. it's well written and (as described on the back cover blurb) "irreverent and wise". and there's nothing i love more than irreverance. followed by wisdom that assures me that my irreverence is, in fact, wise in itself. but really, it's an easy to read philosophical pondering/workbook. experiments include #31-watch dust in the sun. #15-walk in the dark. #67-watch someone sleeping. it's a good book.

i go through brief and absurd obsessions. right now it's kind of anything listed above plus weird, dark scandinavian directors (specifically: ingmar bergman and lars von trier). i just can't help myself.

should i watch wild strawberries (bergman) first or antichrist (trier)? OR persona (bergman again)?

so many questions, so many kevin barnes covers.
