So my mum celebrated her birthday at the Multishow Music Awards' after-party. She is a very humble person, see?

The cerimory was great. Extremely funny. Especially when the cameras were off. O quê foi o D2 tirando uma com a cara do Júnior?! Poético, no mínimo.

So.

Watched two bloody amazing films. That I shamefully had never seen before.

Donnie Darko (USA, 2001) ***** - Extremely mind-boggling. Was gazing stupiditly at the screen for some minutes after it was over. Still thinking about it. And scared to death of the bloody rabbit.

"Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That's what's so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What's the point of living if you don't have a dick?" - Donnie, Donnie Darko.

"- Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?
- Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"
- Donnie and Frank, Donnie Darko.

"Every living creature on this earth dies alone." - Roberta Sparrow, Donnie Darko.

"- The search for God is absurd?
- It is if everyone dies alone."
- Dr. Lilian Thurman and Donnie, Donnie Darko.

"This famous linguist once said that of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, that Cellar Door is the most beautiful." - Karen Pommeroy, Donnie Darko.

"- Well... the thing is, nobody remembers their infancy. And anyone who says they do is lying. We think that this would help develop memory earlier in life.
- And did you stop and think that maybe infants need darkness? That maybe darkness is part of their natural development?"
- Donnie and Prof. Kenneth Monnitoff, Donnie Darko.

"What if you could go back in time, and take all those hours of pain and darkness and replace them with something better?" - Gretchen, Donnie Darko.

Wake up, Donnie. - Frank, Donnie Darko.

Went to Outback with [livejournal.com profile] christycorr (ate an amazing awful lot) and afterwards to my her place.

Citizen Kane (USA, 1941) ***** - Flawless. Perfect cinematography. Amazing characters. Memorable quotes. Art in its purest form.

"- You know, Mr. Bernstein, if I hadn't been very rich, I might have been a really great man.
- Don't you think you are?
- I think I did pretty well under the circumstances.
- What would you like to have been?
- Everything you hate."
- Charles Foster Kane and Thatcher, Citizen Kane.

"I think it would be fun to run a newspaper." - Walter Parks Thatcher, Citizen Kane, quoting from Kane's letter.

"- There's a lot of statues in Europe you haven't bought yet.
- You can't blame me. They've been making statues for some two thousand years, and I've only been collecting for five."
- Bernstein and Kane, Citizen Kane.

"- You still eating?
- I'm still hungry."
- Leland and Kane, Citizen Kane.

"I run a couple of newspapers. What do you do?" - Kane, Citizen Kane.

"- He happens to be the president, Charles, not you.
- That's a mistake that will be corrected one of these days."
- Emily and Kane, Citizen Kane.

"- You're too old to be calling me Mr. Thatcher, Charles.
You're too old to be called anything else."
- Thatcher and Kane, Citizen Kane

"Mr. Kane, how did you find business conditions in Europe?
How did I find business conditions in Europe? With great difficulty."
- A reporter and Kane, Citizen Kane.

"- He made an awful lot of money.
- Well, it's no trick to make a lot of money... if what you want to do is make a lot of money."
- Thompson and Bernstein, Citizen Kane.

"- I don't know many people and --
- And I know too many people. Obviously, we're both lonely."
- Susan and Kane, Citizen Kane.

"Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Switzerland... he was thrown out of a lot of colleges."
- Bernstein, Citizen Kane

"- Really, Charles, people will think--
- What I tell them to think."
- Kane and Emily, Citzen Kane.

I'm sorry for the absurd quantity of mind-numbing great quotes; got carried away.

33% of iBook battery left; rain and strong wind locked outside; warming myself with a stolen borrowed cozy sweater; not that scared of mean bunny anymore.

Good night morning to you all.

Post scriptum: forgot to mention that I did my astrological chartwheel for the second time in my life today. It was an eye-opener and no mistake. And yet it was more mind-boggling not for what I found out, but for just how much one can know by reading your chart. Creepy.

While we're on the subject, Lu, look at this too.

LOVED it.


[And here you are right beside me yet again. Pathe--]

You like bowling, don't you, Montag?

If you don't want a man unhappy politically, don't give him two sides to a question to worry him; give him one. Better yet, give him none. If the government is inefficient, topheavy, and tax-mad, better it be all those than that people worry over it. Peace, Montag. Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs or the names of state capitals or how much corn Iowa grew last year. Cram them full of noncombustible data, chock them so damned full of 'facts' they feel stuffed, but absolutely 'brilliant' with information. Then they'll feel like they're thinking, they'll get a sense of motion without moving. And they'll be happy, because facts of that sort don't change. Don't give them any slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy.
