The Ineffable Mysteris of Life

Cool quote from Change & Eng, the remarkably well written novel that the ever-spangly spidermonster lent me.

Things are more divine if they seem unreal. When you cannot view an event except with the perplexed eyes of an outsider, when you covet a connection to the world that you believe you can never touch, the most basic facts of life seem miraculous; women appear as miraculous as the cosmos does to a stargazer.

The Mexican

My flatmates are watching The Mexican at the moment, and I stopped off on my way from the bathroom to my bedroom, to catch a few moments on my way to bed.

I can heartily recommend this film to absolutely anyone. It wasn't what I was expecting, it almost certainly isn't what you're expecting, and it's all the better for it.
