Things that Make Life Better (in no particular order)

1. hot pink starbucks mugs
2. stranger than fiction movie watches
3. twinkle lights
4. the ‘moon river’ scene from breakfast at tiffany’s

So last night I discovered the beauty of the ‘breakfast at tiffany’s’ soundtrack.   It’s really nothing more than discovering something for myself which has in actuality existed for decades now.  But it just got me thinking about the wonderfulness of things like that.  About how there are just so many things in the world to find out, to discover, to enjoy.  And little do you know when they’re going to pop up and bring some happiness into your life.   One thing that worries me about graduating, besides my entire world being thrown upside down, is missing out on discoveries like that.  I don’t ever want to live my life without the wonderful education and self-examination that happens at college.  I know everyone can make it happen if they want it to, but I also know how easy it is to get sucked into the everyday rut of life.  (Note to self: never get sucked into that rut.)

Anyway, we watched Stranger Than Fiction for philosophy today.  What a really really great movie.  I want to be able to write a story like that, with characters like that.  It’s just entirely overwhelming how brilliant the whole thing is – the themes and the metaphors and the characterization.  I just soaked that all in.  It was pretty great. 

I also got to thinking about relationships today.  How subjective they all are, and how they move from the subjective to the objective, yet they’re still subjective.  I’m pretty sure that makes no sense.  But I just think it’s funny how everything works out in the end – not that it’s funny that everything does, because everything doesn’t – but the process of how it happens.  It’s rather humorous.  Damn, I’m good at being discreet.

Love.
