Today's Track : Frou Frou - Let Go

I was just reading in the washroom and my left leg fell asleep. I hate walking out of the washroom with a limp.
...
Last night I went to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with Wanda. No spoilers here so you can read on. I left completely astoundified. Charles Kaufman has written a truly brilliant and moving story. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet have my vote for next year’s Oscar. The title line to the movie is from a nice little poem by Alexander Pope called “Eloisa to Abelard”.

How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d;

The movie brought back a lot of old memories that I’ve been trying to deny and forget -- memories that were washed away by single moments of tragedy and trauma. Though my stance on those memories are still to forget, it was nice to revisit the good ones last night without rehashing the tainted ones. It also reminded me what a great relationship I have now and how precious the memories we create together are.

If you get a chance, I highly recommend this movie. Probably one of the best movies of the year.
