The Dead Alive.
It’s dusty here, and it smells like old things.
The hardest part about coming back is knowing that you have to start -someplace-.
It doesn’t even have to be a particularly interesting place. Just -some- place.
Matt Damon is that place.
I’m sitting in the dark coldness of the old Troc theater, there’s a boy next to me, it’s new, and different. Interesting. It’s Movie Monday night: $3 at the door buys you a ticket in and a token for a free drink upstairs while you watch whatever film is playing that night. Tonight? It’s Paranormal Activity, and 35 minutes into the film I tweet about how horrible a date movie it is, even though I’m not sure I’m on a date. I don’t exactly remember the last time I had an actual date. Those definitions are always vague and I’m basically unassuming.
But Matt Damon…
Here I am, boy on one side, worst horror film I’ve seen in decades on the other, and I hear Matt Damon say Demon. It’s this guy to the right, he’s shoving a pretzel in his mouth like he hasn’t eaten in days, he’s spitting pretzel out and it’s being illuminated by the film light when he talks. I can’t help it…
I laugh.
He really looks like Matt Damon.
His forehead is a little smaller, but he has the nose, the mouth, the voice. Everything. Good Demon Hunting, Matt Damon….pouring back the PBR as he jokes to his friends about how much money this crappy film made at the box office.
2010 is:
A new 365 portrait set : Autophagy
Continued volunteer work, climbing, and training for my first half marathon. Not to mention school. I had hoped for a clone for x-mas…I’ll have to get by without such luxuries.
