Happy thanksgiving (via randomnyc).
A sad allegory.
Via: Peter Santiago
this just about sums up my ideal comedy:
From the netflix blurb on Visioneers (2007):
“Visioneer George Washington Winsterhammerman (Zach Galifianakis) lives a comfortable but monotonous life in this slightly futuristic black comedy. But when people start exploding from stress and George is showing early symptoms, he’s forced to examine his life. Taking a look at his prestigious job, his sexless marriage and his resistance to life coaching, George reconsiders the philosophy of happiness through mindless activity.”
Let’s hope the movie lives up to the hype.

Oxford, Summer 2004 (weird thing: my last girlfriend attended the same college I met Emma in)
“Who has not built his house, will not start now.
Who now is by himself will long be so,
Be wakeful, read, write lengthy letters, go
In vague disquiet pacing up and down
Denuded lanes, with leaves adrift below.”
Who now is by himself will long be so,
Be wakeful, read, write lengthy letters, go
In vague disquiet pacing up and down
Denuded lanes, with leaves adrift below.”
Rilke, “Autumn Day” (trans. Arndt)
“The whole system was appalling,” Colonel Tanner said. “We experienced real difficulty in dealing with the American military and civilian organizations who, partly through arrogance and partly through bureaucracy, dictate that there is only one way: the American way.” He added, “Despite our so-called ‘special relationship,’ I reckon that we were treated no differently to the Portuguese.”
