Listening to a lung

Posted on | April 24, 2006 | 4 Comments

For a while now, I’ve had this sharp pain in my left lung. It grows increasinly worse when I get winded, and I’m getting winded a lot lately. I can’t bike, because it pulses like a fanned ember. It hurts like hell. Well, after some prodding by David, I’ve decided to go to the doc. It seems like every time I turn around, something else is plagueing me. I hope it’s something small, like a bruised rib or something. Although, I can’t really figure out how in the hell I could have done such a thing.

I paid sixty-eight dollars in library fines yesterday. I almost swallowed my gum when the librarian told me how much I owed. It doesn’t pay to leave books in your trunk.

Julie, David and I watched Apocolypse Now. It was kind of a class assignment, as we were looking at it in relaitons to Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness.” I saw the parallels, but I didn’t like the short story, and didn’t particularly love the movie. I know they are two different creatures, but I think that dark, evil characters make me sad. I don’t like being sad. And I know for a fact that my mental fragility (is that even a word?) would not lend itself to that kind of madness. That said, it made me really fucking uncomfortable to watch them slaughtering the cow. People death I can deal with. Animal death – a whole different story. This shouldn’t shock anyone. Although it paralleled Kurtz’s death, and I understood the death of the cow was the death of Kurtz, I would have rather have seen his arm lopped off rather than brutality against an animal. But, that’s just me.

The weekend was uneventful. D and I watched “A History of Violence.” I liked it a lot and there were some interesting sex scenes. I think the cast was really well done, and the violence was a touch on the comical side (imagine someone’s jaw being blown off). . But I liked it overall. I’m all about Viggo.

The week is going to suck. I’m working a half day tomorrow so I can be home for the fireplace guy, but I have to make up the time on Saturday. Same goes for Friday. I hate working the weekend, but I don’t have the spare vacation time.

Did I mention that I’m in a craptastic mood? Blech….

    yeah, the sex scenes in A History of Violence were… creative. I also thought it was a good movie and… mmm Viggo.

    If Viggo wanted to shag on the stairs, I wouldn’t say no. But I would demand a pillow or something first.

    I really didn’t like Apocolypse Now, it had its moments, as most Coppola Films do, but overall I found the film overly rambling. I really didn’t like the narration or the music in most of it. The helicopter calvary and Robert Duvall’s character were hilarious, but it really went downhill from there for me. There are some amazing visuals, especially with the use of light and dark, and in that aspect the film is worth studying. In contrast I thoroughly enjoyed A History of Violence and not just because of the sex scenes.
