My day on a whim

After leaving work today I decided quite suddenly to jump on a train to Evanston to see the movie Constatine. The Centure Cinema in Evanston has a piano bar and I got quite sauced before ever getting into the movie. A movie review may not be such a good idea...If your a fan of the comics please forget about them while watching the movie...this is not Hellblazer. If you think of this as a rip off of Hellblazer kind of like the first Matrix film was a rip off of The Invisibles...well then the movie isn't so bad. I kind of liked it.

I also stumbled into a Borders looking for a gift that yet again no one seems to have in stock. I did pick one book of poetry by J. Tarin Towers called Sorry We're Close. Never read her stuff before but the first poem got me and I'm still deciding on the rest of her stuff...but some very good lines throughout the whole book. The first poem I read was called Apocalypso #1 and here it is:

He kissed me
Right on the apocalypse,

and said, "Never, ever
forget me."

"I won't," I said.
"I can't," I said.

The world is ending,
and I will never forget anything

again.

A few other good lines from her poems I liked:
"I will unbutton your ribcage and insert a homing device-you'll come back to me like a carrier pigeon."

"My phantom limb.
I swear sometimes I can almost feel you there;
I swear sometimes you almost have feelings."

"I have a pulse.
I have a problem.
I have a pornographic memory,
and a penchant for putting penises
in my scrapbook."

and my fave line so far: Your shadow hovers nearby, bodiless, like a kite that shouldn't fly on a windless day; Like a moth that never noticed the lights are out.
