DOODZ!

My family & I are going to Florida for Christmas (did I already mention this? Hm).
Will any of you people be around the area between Dec 21st - Dec 29th?

If yes, WE SHOULD MEET UP.
If no, you should still hook me up with places to go, things to do in Florida :)

I absolutely love movies and books about World War II. The subject never fails to fascinate me - fascinate me in that I find it to be the greatest example of how despicable & inhumane humans can actually be.

I just watched The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas and I would recommend it to ALL of you. Incredible. Absolutely fucking incredible. I was blown away.

beautiful poem.

This is a Photograph of Me

by Margaret Atwood

It was taken some time ago.
At first it seems to be
a smeared
print: blurred lines and grey flecks
blended with the paper;

then, as you scan
it, you see in the left-hand corner
a thing that is like a branch: part of a tree
(balsam or spruce) emerging
and, to the right, halfway up
what ought to be a gentle
slope, a small frame house.

In the background there is a lake,
and beyond that, some low hills.

(The photograph was taken
the day after I drowned.

I am in the lake, in the center
of the picture, just under the surface.

It is difficult to say where
precisely, or to say
how large or small I am:
the effect of water
on light is a distortion

but if you look long enough,
eventually
you will be able to see me.)
