Movies Which are Depressing

June 26th, 2005

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou just totally reeled me in. Had no idea it was going to be real. I loved it. I really love Wes Anderson’s films which show us in all our morbid human weakness. But, depressing.

Had one of those puttering days that may or may not be the sign of being a grownup. Didn’t go out but got much satisfaction from cleaning out drawers and closets, purging my life of unwanted necessities. I just want less stuff. And the addition of a new cabinet in my bathroom has made me happy to a?strange degree. Finally, a place for the towels to rest.

Dreamed last night for hours and hours. Michael C. from The Shield was the husband to this woman who was sometimes me, and also the leader of a huge S&M cult. They were abusing their daughter and when the woman found out she tried to get away. She was locked in a house and there were ATV chases, near escapes, bondage, exploding poop-filled toilets, a bathroom that was filthy and no one’s responsibility to clean, a man picking up a turd off the floor, dolphin poop dripping on my leg (poop’s been a dream theme lately) Michael C trying to rape this woman’s best friend with a picture frame, mutiny in the S&M club, and women willingly being crucified while supporting their body weight with their feet on wooden spikes.

It wasn’t a nice dream. It may have something to do with my neighborhood blowing up on Friday.
