It's nice when...

It's nice when you put up an account on Thefacebook, and suddenly you begin getting messages from girls you knew in high school, giving you their phone number and asking to get together sometime for coffee or drinks. Yea, it's real nice.

I find it interesting that, well, this second try at reading Brothers K. I find it so much more interesting. I started it once while in high school, and found it so slow and laborious that I gave up on it. Now I find it fascinating, chock-full of love triangles and theology. It's really good stuff. I suppose it takes a certain amount of maturity to really get Dostoevsky.

Last night I saw Star Wars: Episode III. I actually enjoyed it quite a lot...definitely makes up for episodes I and II. Seems like Lucas finally stopped being impressed at himself with all the fancy special effects he could make and actually focused on the story. That, and Hayden Christensen stopped playing an obnoxious teenager, which made it much more bearable than Episode II. He finally becomes the true badass we all hoped he would someday be. Then he becomes a big jerk in a scary-looking life support suit. Life sure can be a bitch sometimes.

There's something here, my dear chap, that you can't understand yet. You see, if a man falls in love with some beautiful woman, with a woman's body, or even just with one part of her body (only a sensualist can understand that), he'll sacrifice his own children for her, he'll sell his father and mother, and his country, too. If he's honest, he'll go and steal, if he is gentle, he'll kill, if he is faithful, he'll deceive. Pushkin, the singer of women's beautiful feet, sang in praise of women's feet in his verses; others do not sing their praises but cannot look calmly at women's feet. But, then, it's not only their feet...
