And that is why….

Saturday, December 25th, 2004

And that is why I have to go back
to so many places in the future,
there to find myself
and constantly examine my life
with no witness but the moon
and then whistle with joy
ambling over rocks and doors of Earth
with no task but to live,
with no family but the road.

— Pablo Neruda

I’ve been watching a lot of videos lately; 3-5 a day. Lots of documentaries, Coehn brothers, and Christopher Guest. I watched a documentary last night called ‘Cinemania’ , about these strange people that watch movies all day every day.  I guess I may be becoming a videomanic….I’m ready to move on to something different.

What I’m watching

Thursday, December 2nd, 2004

I’ve been watching a lot of documentaries lately: There is sequel out to the documentary “The Selling of a Serial Killer” It’s called ” Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer”. It takes the story up to her execution. Sad but a good documentary.

I also recommend “Spellbound” a documentary about the national spelling bee.

Another documentary was “A Class Divided” it’s an update and includes original footage from ” The Eye of the Storm” a documentary about a 3rd grade teacher that divides her class by the color of their eyes to teach them about racial hatred. It’s available online at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/divided/etc/view.html
