...as young as we're ever going to get...

?
Always earnest, almost never serious, I do not enjoy long walks on the beach or any of that nonsense... I do enjoy good and/or good-looking people, black coffee, margaritas, midnight onwards, hectic cities, philosophy & chatting throw-away metaphysics, &c... I'm more left-wing than I should be, more abstractedly-minded than I should be, more averse to forwards-planning than I should be - at least, if I wanted to 'get anything done in this world'. But since I don't actually want to get anything of that sort done, I'm good.
My life is surreal - like if Kafka and Hunter S. Thompson got together and took a road-trip to Disneyland...

Man on Wire is definitely prescribed watching to cure symptoms of ’oh it won’t work out, there’s no way I can make it happen’ modes of thinking. This and Fitzcaraldo - basically films where people do absolutely ridiculous things for their own ridiculous reasons that seem nonsense to normal souls. Walk across on a wire from one world trade centre to the other, drag a steamboat over a mountain… They put everything else in vertigo-inducing perspective.
