Hello, fellow citizen. Would you like to ride with Batman?

I don't think it's wrong at all. Do you? Do you think it's wrong that after every time I watch a Batman movie I want to be Batman? See, I don't find anything wrong with that. ...You know, in a perfect world. Nothing wrong at all. Nothing wrong with that whole... justice thing.... Ideals. Symbols. ...Something.... I want to be Batman. I want to be a symbol. Something indestructible, something eternal. I want to be something that can live forever after I've gone. I just don't think it's going to happen.
That's one of the reasons why I love movies so much, you know. Movies are just for-goddamn-ever. They are their own legacy. They are the stories captured and expressed with visual, nature, personal, expansive, music, language... they are real emotion. The good ones, anyway... the good movies are made up of everything that people value in expression and communication. I'm never going to get over it. I want to make movies happen. ...Because I believe that they are important. Beautiful.


I wish I could.



Mmm... my favorite movie of all time is going to be on tonight. Lawrence of Arabia. I shouldn't stay up to watch the whole thing, or I'll never get up in the morning. It doesn't start until eleven-thirty, and you know, it just goes on and on forever. But I love every part of it. Eh... I'm never going to get up in the morning. And I have to get back to Columbus tomorrow. Sigh. Oh, well.
That's going to be my next impulse retail therapy purchase. For certain. The Lawrence of Arabia superbit DVD. That and Monster Ballads, but... most importantly, that. I honestly don't know why I don't have it. I don't have any of the movies I should. I have everything in the world I don't need, but I don't have the movies and albums and books I need. And that's all I want. I don't understand.
People always ask "what would you do with a million dollars." I would buy every DVD and CD and book I needed. Every last one. Well, first I'd invest it and start making some good interest on it. Then I'd spend it. All. Heh.

I just made the best investment in the world yesterday. I went to the botanical gardens and parked at a meter. The meter was broken and wouldn't take any more coins. I would have protested a ticket for that, since I tried to pay. So, to communicate that I tried to pay (just in case), I left a nickel in the slot. When I came back two hours later, I had no ticket, and I went to retrieve my nickel. It was gone, but on the ground next to the meter I found a dime. One hundred percent returns in two hours?? I'll take that shit any day of the week.

Anyway, time for me to get back to my hott date with sofa and popcorn. Details at eleven.
