Flower

Today was sunny.
I didn't have class and went to the park to read "A Hazard of New Fortunes".
Last night I watched "Fitzcarraldo" (1982) by Werner Herzog. It is really stunning. It's also the second movie I've seen with Klaus Kinski. It's funny that both films I've seen with the both Kinski and Herzog working together have taken place on and around the Amazon river. "Fitzcarraldo" is really great. It does seem to end while leaving me wanting 'more'. I've been finding that with so many 3 hour-ish movies that even if they are long, they rarely cover enough. "Fitzcarraldo" has some of the most memorable scenes in my film viewing experience. The steamship on land, and Kinski standing proudly on the to deck cruisin' down the Amazon listening to Italian opera on his gramaphone.

I also went to this Canadian pizza store called Ron Telesky Pizza and they gave me a training shift and more work if I want it, which is great because I won't have to stress out about money as much.

I made shorts out of a pair of jeans and had dinner with my room mate Jana. She had a salad and I had; potatoes, carrots, corn and zucchini.
I listened to Nathan Lawr some more. I was wondering how an artist like him could have gone unnoticed by myself. Turns out, he hadn't...he played in this band I really like, Royal City and he also played with Jim Guthrie, which explains why I like him. Great minds think alike.
