More Inhuman Than Human

St-Valentine's is a bloody useless festivity. Romantics feel bad if they don't have a date, and those who do - they feel compelled to do something special.

I can understand some "couples" are tired to fuck each others, and it already takes them enough efforts to endure their tender half, and giving chocolates isn't enough to mark this day as a "special occasion". But think about those who don't have anybody to share their joy with. Think about the elderly, and the young. Too old or too young to have a romantic candlelight dinner and then a good screw.

I saw a girl carrying roses when I came back from work yesterday, in the subway. I also saw a couple on the bus. They had just rented SAW II and were going to watch it, and then probably have sex on the couch. Or maybe not.

The subject is way too depressing to evoke here, anyway.

I found a Danielle Ouimet autobiography today at the Mont-Royal public library. Probably written by a ghost writer - unless Danielle proves me wrong - it still features an interesting chapter on all the movies she appeared in. This is a read I am very much looking forward to do.

I also stumbled, quite erratically, on Ryu Murakami's THANATOS. The last part of his now infamous trilogy also comprising ECSTASY & MELANCHOLIA. This is a read I am very much looking forward to do.

I watched Christopher Nolan's BATMAN BEGINS yesterday. No opinion yet, altho I don't think it's the kind of movie you need to have an opinion on. It's generic superhero good work, the kind of think Hollywood-polluted minds acclaim, the kind of thing that's entertaining to you if you don't mind a bit of cheese on your bat wings, and if you don't mind the Batmobile being revamped outta its Stingray shape. Christian Bale is way OK as the masked avenger, and there are quite a few stars. However, there are good chances I will confuse this installment with the others in a couple of days, when the souvenir will fade from my overbusy memory.

Today marks a special day for me. The weather's nice outside, and I feel real smooth. I don't think it means anything for my near future, or I rather wouldn't risk hoping in vain, but I just french kissed with Miss Bijoux for about 30 minutes in the backstore of her craft shop.

She invited me to her place tonight to see SAW II. Is this a late St-Valentine's ? I'll let my destiny decide that.
