The sky is low and gray like a japanese table, and my horse's legs look like four brown shotguns

I dun moved to Athens now. All I need is a job and I'll be able to afford rent. I moved in with these two guys I don't know, Ben and Jake. They seem like nice guys. They're brothers, one studies geography buts taking this semester off to work here and go surfing in Costa Rica and the other's a piano/Spanish double major. I'm living in their mom's room (she moved to Birmingham last year) in a little suburban paradise; its too wierd to sleep in someone's mom's bed, so I stripped the sheets off and sleep in my sleeping bag on top of the bed.

I watched La Jetee, the French film that inspired 12 Monkeys (which I keep calling 28 Monkeys because of 28 Days Later). Its really good, probably better than 12 Monkeys (and more coherent), but there's a stretch of about six minutes in the middle where you can't read any of the subtitles because the subtitles are in white and the movie's black and white and the images are really bright, at least at the bottom of the screen where the subtitles are. That's a pretty big deal since the movie is only 28 minutes long. Still, its a fine film, and I think I understand 12 Monkeys better now, too -- La Jetee fills in a lot of the gaps that 12 Monkeys didn't bother to.

I think that "I Remember Me" by the Silver Jews is the saddest song I've ever heard.
