i just saw "closer", mike nichol's new movie starring natalie portman and jude law. those two deserve oscar nods for it, but the movie itself was miserable. cruel. why do we do this? why do we watch people make love into some horrible monster? it's exhibitionism. it's voyeurism. it's disgusting. the whole movie was just about terrible, cold, sad, lonely people, and we watch them make themselves sadder and lonelier and colder. it's so depressing. i mean, when i was 15 love was about carrying me away. love was a cowboy on a unicorn with a dozen red roses and a ticket to ride. and now? love is blind, complicated, vague, lustful. love has become a word again. love is fleeting and love is empty. love has no spark. i fell out of love tonight.
jesus, someone get me some chocolate and red wine.

oh carol. this post made me miss you and love you in that sort of we're friends and we like each other because we're cool like that kind of way, not in the depressing life ending kind of way.
if i had some chocolate i would let you have some (i'd eat some too, no offense)
by the way, that last comment was from me. susie.
