So, this weekend I finally got around to watching Fight Club, which has been on my movie-bucket- list for a while now and it BLEW MY MIND.
I admit, I was skeptical at first. I thought it was going to be a pointless action flick about guys beating each other up, but I was wrong. It's one of those movies that sticks with you and causes you to replay its scenes over and over again in your head.
Now, I've got Edward Norton's voice narrating my daily activities with internal monologues.
My favorite quote:
"Man, I see in Fight Club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential, and I see it squandered. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables — slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our great war is a spiritual war. Our great depression is our lives. We've all been raised on television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that fact. And we're very, very pissed off."
Not much happened at school today. Just another boring Monday. These next two weeks are going to be brutal with all of the projects and essays and midterms due. Aaahhhhh.
I had another weird dream last night (what am I eating before bedtime?) involving baby alligators, power lines, and space ships. I remember at one point in the dream I was sitting in the closet with my sister. I turned the TV on and said, "The TV makes you invisible. Am I invisible? Can you see me?"
