that I have not blogged in about three weeks? I craft blog posts in my mind, at random times, and . . . I guess I stop there.
I watched Cairo Time. I know what you're thinking, oh please not another movie review, you're not particularly insightful and you give things away for those who haven't seen the movies. But, I can't help it! I went to Egypt last month, and so I have to think and process all things Egypt. If I were more intellectual and not a lazy bum, I would read the book on the ethics behind archeology (if I would ever get around to actually ordering it on Amazon) (and, for that matter, I would order the new biography of Cleopatra. At least time is on my side for that one since it has not yet come out!). The movie was good. Great acting. Lots of moment when you were supposed to intuit what the actor/ actress was thinking, which I like. And the soundtrack is excellent. Great score, and fantastic piano parts in some songs. I fantasized immediately about buying a piano, with a tiny light above it, and then playing those songs at night right before going to sleep.
My curtains are billowing in the wind. It was a humid day, or so it seemed at least when I came home to my apartment this evening and thought that someone mixed water and heat in my apartment and left it all to saturate. But now, just past midnight, it's cool air coming in. And my curtains -- finally put up -- are billowing.
Almost in October. Time flies. The year flies by. Blog posts get thought about but do not get written. This is one of my favorite times of the year. Not just because I love fall -- I do love fall. But also because . . . yes, you're right, TV shows start again! It's viewing season. I have to line up my DVR properly (and delete old stuff stored on it -- I think I'm at 95% capacity!)
I never put my itunes on shuffle. Mostly I know exactly what I want to listen to -- often, it's the same song over and over and over and over etc. again. And over again. But right now, I was listening to the soundtrack to Cairo Time . . . and the soundtrack ended and my itunes hopped on to the next song on the list, and it's The Cranberries! Pleasant surprise.
This blog post is becoming like a diary entry. There is no theme here.
THIS IS CHAOS.

this is not chaos. it was it is meant to be. (chaos = footnoting your footnotes that are all just asterisks anyway.) i just read 'paris to the moon' (adam gopnik) (thoughts on that later, or not.) but there was a line in there that i loved, attributed to antoine blodin - 'the only duty of the writer is not to have one'. i fully subscribe to that school of thought myself. in fact - spoiler alert - i will probably include it i a blogpost soon to justify my own random warbling. don't stop believing. xx
