a dancing star!

An incidental gesture motions change. A pre-destined force motions change. Rochenko has memed me thusly:

Seven things to do before I die

Appropriately, much of this came to mind during today’s brush with the dental technician.

1. become a better person
2. move to Vancouver
3. write that book
4. and work on another
5. Serenity (find it, befriend it, betray it by trying to bottle it)
6. the Right Thing
7. Forgive my Father (My life makes The Oresteia seem like an episode of Little House on the Prairie … heh heh)

Seven things I cannot do

1. complete my doctorate
2. shed myself of countless prejudices
3. find meaning in / understand this world
4. understand the concept of “Love”
5. sing
6. focus

Seven things that attract me to … my Other Half

Appropriately, this fell during Valentine’s dinner. She is

1. honest
2. has huge heart
3. happy (as in “she is …”)
4. happy (as in “she makes me …”)
5. horny (as in “constantly”)
6. hilarious
7. heavenly

Seven things I say

1. “It depends …”
2. “Yeah, but …”
3. “I’m a bit sceptical about that”
4. “dumbass”
5. “Urgh” (as in a grunt)
6. “Fact” (something that Antonio says all the time)

It seems I don’t have a catch-phrase to call my own.

Seven books I love

This should overwhelm me. And it does (notwithstanding this caveat)

1. Phenomenology of Mind, G. W. F. Hegel
2. Christianity and Classical Culture, Charles Norris Cochrane
3. Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
4. What should I do with my life?, Po Bronson
5. Frederick II, E. H. Kantorowicz
6. Lullaby, Chuck Palahniuk
7. Hegel contra Sociology, Gillian Rose

Seven movies that I’ve loved

1. Se7en
2. Breaking away
3. The Double life of Veronique
4. High Fidelity
5. Star Wars
6. Memento
7. The Breakfast Club

(This doesn’t take into account the finer distinction between movies and films)

Seven people to tag

infinite thought just got one, so I get to spread good cheer to these folks:

1. susan henderson
2. die sternstadt (before she starts her motorcycle fetish)
3. .40 nap
4. downtheinkwell
5. rob at history: other
6. My friend, Nick Hornby (but Nick, if you’re busy, I understand)
7. Po Bronson
