a description of the amazing and exciting adventures i have here in baltimore--- and other lies.

 
Erin and I went to go see "Tadpole" on Friday, and then later on I watched "Amelie" at her house.
Both very good, if you have not yet seen them. Tadpole gave me pause, tho'. I have been reflecting on the overall argument of diane (bebe nuewirth): that women find passion sexy--- and not sexual passion, but rather that someone who is passionate about things or ideas is what is attractive. it made me think, because i have not really felt passion about anything in a while. i have manic attractions to things, and learn about a myriad of things but in my mecurial manner, i tire of the subject, or it looses its salt for me. i fear getting involved with anything now, because i don't know what will be the latest passing fad for me. magic was the last thing, before that languages,and my bagpipe also. i still do all these things, after a fashion, but not in the intense way i used to do so.
so, my new thought is to try to get passionate about something. maybe it will rise me out of my malaise. maybe i have to be like descartes, where he believed that he could believe in God, and then was able to actually believe.
