Movie ages

I feel kind of old after looking at this chart.


I saw most of these films when they first came out, and none of those times feel like that long ago. But I'm getting braces soon so maybe it can cancel some of my aging out?

Let's hope we can all embrace the inevitable and age gracefully.

A softer world: 666

I'm also into this online comic series called "A Softer World". I find them entertaining and thought-provoking. This is one of the thought-provoking ones.


It's weird and sad how you can become close with people to the point where you can't imagine your life without them, but then over time you can drift apart and practically become strangers.

I wonder what, if anything, you can do to fix that.

Heaven

I'm quite into this web comic series called "xkcd", and here's something that really spoke to the child in me.


I was a Tetris-playing child. This would have made my day.

Fever dream

I recently discovered Iron & Wine, and his music has brought new joy to my life. It's indie, folky and pure gold. I've been listening to this one song called "Fever Dream" nonstop. It's hauntingly beautiful.


Some days her shape in the doorway
Will speak to me
A bird's wing on the window

Sometimes I'll hear her when she's sleeping
A fever dream
A language on her face

I want your flowers
Like babies want God's love
Or maybe
As sure as tomorrow will come

Some days like rain on the doorstep
She'll cover me
With grace in all she offers

Sometimes I'd like just to ask her
What honest words
She can't afford to say, like

I want your flowers
Like babies want God's love
Or maybe
As sure as tomorrow will come

This song makes my heart ache, and it makes me yearn. I don't know what exactly I'm yearning for, but it's something I know will make me feel complete. Maybe someone I can give my heart to.

Listen to Iron & Wine. And have the best day.
