| Feb. 2nd, 2007 10:21 pm Cause and Effect Living where I do, I often find myself thinking about cause and effect. The chain of life that leads us to where we are and where we'll be. I must admit I can actually sit through the whole movie "the Butterfly effect" despite itself. I watch this movie to move my mind (and to renew my hatred of ashton kutcher, who is a close second to cory elwes in my all time abomination list). But I think I have found a suitable replacement. The movie "V for Vengeance" seems to be able to move the same bits that the B E used to, while being a Ok adaptation of the graphic novel, and a much better effort of the Watchowski brothers than all the matrix movies, It has something more. The biblical implications of the roman empire, the post 9/11 imagagry, the holocaust, the rebirth of the Logan's Run Orwellian universe, I'm starting to think this is a brilliant movie. Which isn't what I came here to write about, I came here to write about my book, Its been very slow going for the last few months and now I fear the rotton SOB died the other night. On tuesday night I awoke from a dream, a most wonderful dream, a dream that seems to have grabbed my by the throat and doesn't seem to want to let go. The dream put the image of a utopian society with a perfect government and wonderful little lives happening all over, but there is a small religious group that is acting to destroy the utopian dream in a very subtle cause and effect manner utiziling unknowing participants aspawns in the destruction of that which they hold dear. The idea lives in my head 24/7 but hasn't come through the fog into words yet, its like watching the novel, but not being able to understand it yet. Very annoying, very very annoying, I keep looking at my unfinished work, and triing to do some editing, however after my edits I re-read the damn thing and realize that the words are actually from my next novel, not this one. Very annoying... Oh, did I already say that, well screw it all. I need a day off. My next day off looks to be May 7 in Ottawa, 2 inventories from now, 3 months and many many sleeps. Night all Current Mood: awake
