dear christopher sauchak:

oh christopher sauchak.

i read your blog, in response to the previous question i asked myself, earlier today. i miss you too.

i will readily admit, i am jealous of your demographic location (yes even your desk/space problems), but only jealous because i'm not experiencing "office work" and this would allow me to have access to the internet at all times.
see, i think, imaginatively, i've been experiencing the same summer. i read "microserfs" (d.coupland) and was thrilled with the entire novel, the characters are so real you feel like you're part of team! yes, the team! the way you write (brilliantly) and observe worklife for spiketVIACOM, you should publish your notes. or write a novel. don't worry chris, contrary to modern belief, your story doesn't even have to be a story...it will still work, the consumer public is buying everything! these days.

i now you will eventually view come and see (its been so long though) and just for fun here's a few more you might want to add onto your list, some, which you have probably seen:

city of god, f. meirelles, katia lund
brazil, t. gilliam
elephant, g.van sant [and then read douglas coupland's "hey nastradamus!" ]
the dreamers, b.bertolucci
(au hasard) balthazar, robert bresson

interestingly enough, elephant's star-john robinson, is now playing stacey peralta in the 2005 release, "lords of dogtown." he's the one that ousted our man joshua robertson for the lead role, probably because he's a member of the screen-actors guild and has acting experience, plus he's got great thinblonde so-cal hair. josh looks like he's from the midwest.

in my own personal news:
i couldn't be more alone when i'm without andrea.
i watched "breathless" without subtitles, again.
i emailed donnie and he hasn't returned my long winded attempt to reconnect.

it has rained so much this summer, EVERY color, not only green, looks like its shot on DV.
