Metropia

You saw Metropia just a bit ago. You're inclined to say it's your new favorite movie. It wasn't brilliant, as Being John Malcovich already explored similar themes and you can't think of anything else off hand that was able to elicit the response out of you that that movie did when you first saw it in the theatre; but Metropia was still very good, and the animation style was very clever. You're going to buy it in a physical format some time, as it creates a mood that is conducive to your work, like the movie Pi.

To be fair, it did go beyond the themes explored in BJM, addressing things that are politically, economically and culturally relevant. You have to hold onto yourself to keep down the sense of resentment for those casual moving picture viewers who might call it "weird". It isn't necessary.

Don't be too disappointed with your glass-is-half-empty-self, you had a good rehearsal and good jam session today. Sure it's frustrating to have lost your technological ability to record, but you have some excellent amps and cabs that could blow up your apartment if you cranked them up all the way, and that's awesome.

You've stayed up too late again. Tomorrow you need to balance the finances and get to work on the digital elements of the next update to Enrod The Clockman, as well as figure out gifts.

Good night.
