This film hurt.
There have been movies that have made me mad, movies that have me cry; some confirmed my beliefs, others changed my thinking. Movies that challenge me in every way, but nothing has hurt before.
At least nothing this truly.
So, what’s the film about you ask? It depends who you ask. There’s so many ways to read …

Cantonese Thanksgiving
I feel wonderful — just had a long, hot shower. I glow. I rule. Hee.
This after coming home from Alex’s birthday. Alex’s from Hong Kong, and gathering by the people I’ve met tonight, my being Cantonese has a lot to do with the invitation.
Seriously.
Anyway, the dinner was at this Chinese restaurant at Rosenheimerplatz and it’s the …
Outside, Quiet. Still.
Morning now. Snowing outside. Heavy, flecks battling each other. Fury rains down like hammers. Elliot Smith in the kitchen. Eating cold toast with apricot marmale and sunflower margerine. Took a picture of my white garden (was that way already when I woke up an hour earlier).

Meet The Apartmentmates

First one I met was Josef, whom I did meet earlier, but never had much chance to talk to till now. Let’s see: he loves snowboarding, has a cold (he tells me it comes every winter; I wonder if the snowboarding has anything to …
Moving Day

I felt euphoric as I walk the lanes of this suburban hidey-hole, the crust of snow covering the pine trees and the cars and just about everything else. But, for some reason or another, I have no luck …
A Room of My Own
Did you know it takes only three night buses from Ostbahnhof to get back to accursed Haus International, and if you miss the lass one due to utter stupidity (as I did, fifteen minutes earlier), you can walk the rest of the way?
Of course there is a reason I know this. Spent the night at Paul …
Walks Away
I recognise the ice in the air
the face familiar, stark
I have done it again
and she walks into that room,
locked. I can’t bang it open
she won’t come out, she won’t forgive
I give up in disgust
like every man who walks away
from a woman he doesn’t understand.
