external monologue

perkins at the courtesy

you'll remember the late, late night hanging out with perkins that i mentioned yesterday? well, a good portion of it was here at the courtesy diner trying my best to finish off one of the strangest dishes i've ever eaten, a slinger. as best i can tell, its hashbrowns, eggs, hamburger patty, bacon and cheese topped with chili and onions, and from the shape we were all in the next day, it can't be good to mix all those things together.

i went to see eternal sunshine for a second time last night. i watched it first on saturday night with mesh and josiah and really loved it. i've appreciated all of kaufman's films up to this point, but i think this is the first one i've actually enjoyed. while it still has the weight and darkness of his previous films, it brings a hope thats somewhat surprising from a typically pessimistic writer. like most of his other films, its largely informed by nietzschian philosophy, but in the end takes a final turn that leaves nietzsche rolling in his grave. two thumbs up - go see it.
