Errol Morris to direct TV documentaries
Hot diggity. Somebody tape this for me. And yeah, still haven't seen The Fog of War. What wouldn't I give? Hmmm...I would give up my upcoming trip to Tokyo to see the Murakami play...no. No I wouldn't. I would give up...darn.
What do I have to give up? A few accumulated non-necessities?
Aah...I would give up the map of India I have carried around for the last seven years with all the cities covered in red map dots. Um...I would give up a month of Sundays. Okay, I would give up all my Murakami books and have to buy them again later and not have them handy when wanted. I would not give up Beaudilaire, Whitman or Han-shan. Okay, fine I would give up Han-shan.
I would give up two hours of sleep a night if I had them left to give. I would not give up my photos. Would I give up the precious hour after work to chill out...no. I wouldn't give up Japan or I would be back by now. Oh, I would give up my speakers an go back to mono for two months. Look, if I want it bad enough its gonna hafta hurt. I would give up one pair of shoes, and I don't have many. Ah...I would give up everything I ever bought at the 100-yen store. In fact, I would do that anyway.
Lessee...I would give up going to see Lost in Translation. Ironically enough I can't even find the time to work that into my schedule now that it's coming out this week. What a joke. Actually I could possibly squeeze it in whilst I am in Tokyo at the end of the month seeing this Murakami play I have been waiting on equally long, but I think I'll have to see it at least twice more once I come back if those folks don't abandon me for taking so long to keep up my end of the deal.
Oh, okay, would I actually go buy an all-regions dvd-player if someone sent me a copy? Nah, I don't want to own it. Just weigh me down. Anyway, it's probably available *somewhere* in Osaka. All I need to give up is the $80 to buy a cheap DVD player and a half a day to go find it...
*Sigh*. Someday my brain will learn to go from A->B without stopping off at t-a-n-g-e-n and t again first. Darn.
