It is a rhetorical-post kind of day. Why didn't you tell me Donnie Darko was scary? Ahg. I hate rabbits with skeletal teeth. Brilliant, but gratuitous.
Stephan showed it to me. After a couple of hours political conversations with Bryce. I had forgotten. In college, there are people who care. It's good for me to be dragged kicking and screaming out from under my musician's rock to an intelligent analysis of things that will affect me later, but SHARDIT I DON'T WANT TO CARE. Argh.
And then he burned a cd for his friend and ended up giving it to me, because I needed the Shostakovich. One of the (what, five? six) sincere pieces of music he ever composed. We each spent our small worships for the night, trading off; he, Dylan Thomas, I, Douglas Adams... Kirsten Flagstad, Aristophanes... W.H. Auden, Elizabeth Schwarzkopf.
He heard Promising Mediocrity, too. I think he was surprised into admitting it was actually cool. He agreed with me when I gave him the fishing; I'm hopelessly out of my genre. "Yes," he said, "thank God." I think that was a compliment. He must clothe everything in the perspective he looks from. Can't admit too much.
Did you know it was a Christian allegory? I felt like crying when he asked me what I thought it was about and I told him analysis is subjective and he said yes but look I have the right answer. Because it was. Obviously. I just didn't think of it. Deus Ex Machina. Did you hear him say that, right before the car hits her?
