You are not an idiot

You may think that there has been something a bit off with airportline lately. The steaming sentences of creativity does not flow as easily, or as often, as before. And for those of you with terrible music taste, it must have been difficult to browse through all those music videos. This is just to say that you are correct, you are a smart person. You can pat yourself on your shoulder now. I'll wait, don't be affraid. There has been drama in my life and time has been devoted to people leaving, people coming, concerts, and crossing out things in agendas. Yesterday I saw Ingmar Bergmans master piece Scenes From A Marriage and today I finished The Diving Bell and The Butterfly by Jean-Dominique Bauby. They made me see the value of art again. Maybe it will be better now, when I have a cold and my schedule has cleared a bit. I hope so, I hope that we're out of the slump and will once again put hearts on fire. Yes, in the same way as that great Cut Copy pop song from last year.
good choices
the first bit of disorientation in the diving bell gives way to such a sense of beauty and amazement---my memories are particularly strong of them standing on the balcony looking over the beach. the mix of humor and frustration (watching him type word by word in excruciating) makes for an incredible juxtaposition
i saw it in theatres, and getting lost in his mind is really easy when your entire visual field is his entire visual field
bergman of course is always wonderful
