May. 5th, 2005 08:22 am2 business cards from Govindas, which I should really scan in for you. I'm not even sure how to explain Govindas -- it's a movie theater/indian restaurant in Darlinghurst, which they also manage to just cover with their business cards which are like these Krisna trading card things -- I started picking them up, and wish I had found more, they really amuse me in a "aaaah, it's so clear now" way. I currently have cards number 7 and 3. Actually talking about Govindas reminds me of all these things... including a newstand across the street where I'd buy my little notebooks to put scene study work in -- they remind me of the type of newstands that existed in America in my chilhood and don't really anymore -- I actually drafted a short story related to that theme and the nature of aspirations and strangers (a shy sister considers what it means not to dream about being in movies with people - as her peers did when they were all young - but to dream about getting published in certain magazines alongside people... and how can a desire that involves and even requires never meeting or seeing the object of it be so acute? Sane or less sane? Does anything taste better than lonely? To a certain degree she is me, living in the universe next door and more patient. It came to me yesterday sitting on a floor of a Barnes & Noble looking up at the magazine racks... film magazines next to the new journal Steve Erickson is editing and all I could think about was the nature of the desires we're told we're supposed to have, and how we privately twist them into prayer, failure and hope).
