Instead, since Anya's deep in study for next week's three-day test, i'm going to slip in a film disc i suppose i should see again. i hated it the first time, as i thought it was a disservice to my perverted view of "spiritual LSD."
Even after a coupla occasions of drinking into the wee hours with Hunter Thompson, and though i loved the time with him, i hated the film. i respected his writing, and his dissection of amurka, but i hated the film.
So i will now watch it again, to see if i'm crazier than his film version was. (He was the most intelligent drunk i ever drank with, but he never had a clue as to the potential of spiritual awakening.) We'll see if Messers Depp and Del Toro can actually recapture those days.)

HST is one of the writers I can read in short bursts and find desperately amusing, but reading more than a hundred pages of his stuff gets a bit repetitive.
Still have fun with fear and loathing, it's the one book I couldn't read at all. keep to the Fen Causeway
i was so blind (i don't mean on that evening) i hardly knew who Thompson was (at least from previous reading, i mean i knew he was echt famous) as we were carousing. i thought only this was a great distraction from spiritual truth. That night, and those in the ensuing years, showed me otherwise.
Meanwhile, back im Kino, Terry Gilliam is brilliant, far more that i was capable of understanding in those days. Weiter! "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin

He's at his morst brilliant in making Brazil, the more I see that the m ore prescient it seems.
Oh and the last two F1 races have almost restored my faith in the spectacle. Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
