I saw Fat City many long years ago, loved it, and have never seen it anywhere again; it's like they buried with Jimmy Hoffa or something.

three months pass...

hi all. at the tail end of a binge of writing seminar papers and drinking red wine. score from this weekend: 2 bottles, 31 pages.

bad news is that stress (and lonelines around holidays) inspired me to start smoking again after nearly 4 months without a cigarette. i'm hoping that after the semester is over i can go cold turky again.

also, a good friend just told me her mom is dying and i don't know what to do. they live in the country and i think she feels lonely in her responsibility for caring for her mom in her last months (year? years i hope). i wonder if i should offer to visit, but then i don't know if that would be a good thing or the worst thing imaginable under the circumstances.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 5 December 2005 08:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Did you really move to Iowa?

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Monday, 5 December 2005 08:11 (eighteen years ago) link

heh, yeah.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 5 December 2005 08:12 (eighteen years ago) link

Definitely offer to visit. If it's a bad she will tell you so. How is school?

How is that "oh crap" rather than "fantastic!"?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Tuesday, 6 December 2005 13:33 (eighteen years ago) link

because it takes it out of the realm of safe fantasy and into the realm of "just do it".

Yes, I get back from Virginia on the 28th. Things are going to be a little nuts (shows on the 30th and 31st, I'll have just started my new job) but get in touch and we can get a beer or something.

eight months pass...

heh, i'm moving again (that makes at least 7 major moves in as many years).

i have been kept up all night, strangely and embarassingly, by regret. specifically, regrets concerning two women i met when i was in paris. more broadly, i've been nostalgic for the independence (even the loneliness) i felt in paris. i feel really robbed of that independence now because i've spent the past three weeks recovering from a really awful bout of mono on my mother's living room couch. bleh.

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Tuesday, 22 August 2006 08:51 (seventeen years ago) link

i wonder why i move around so much. the longest i've lived in any one place in the last decade has been two years.

same. living in the same place at about the 2 year mark starts to feel constricting, doesn't it?

BAM

Parade was very cute. That movie has a whole world of animated .gifs just waiting to be made.

holy shit

nine months pass...

i feel bad for flaking on n/a and sarah a few too many times. sorry guys. you and jaymc and other folks in chicago are really great. i feel like i abused people on ilx sometimes, by accepting lots of kindness but being sort of aloof in return.

― amateurist, Thursday, 7 August 2008 11:03 (fifteen years ago) link

i didn't know an individual could abuse a group

― gabbneb, Thursday, 7 August 2008 12:30 (fifteen years ago) link

i don't remember you flaking on us? at least no more than i may have. it's cool.

― n/a, Thursday, 7 August 2008 12:40 (fifteen years ago) link

Amateurist, have you seen "Hotel Imperial" (1927) dir. Mauritz Stiller, and what did you think of it if so? just curious, like.

― Pashmina, Thursday, 7 August 2008 13:06 (fifteen years ago) link

(6 years ago)

holy shit

IIRC, sometime in 2005, ILX freaked out and changed the date to "June 27, 2001" for a day. Pretty sure you weren't actually here in 2001. Morbius definitely wasn't.
