P.T.Anderson's Magnolia is one of my all time favorite movies. I heard about this movie from my good friend Sunil Malapati, and went to see it. It was a bizarre experience. Frogs dropping from the sky, the incessant F-word, and 22 lead characters singing a song to wise up? Then I had the chance to see it again in a week. And the rest was history. I must've seen it at least 15 times.The theme of the movie is coincidence. And what a coincidence that this song was the first one my itunes decided to play via shuffle.
The end credit song, Save Me, by Aimee Mann, is one that I listen to over and over again. Especially when I'm pensive.
I admitted to my friend Lima tonight that she was right. Past few days, I've been trying to overbook my calendar, and trying to keep myself busy among friends, relatives. Yet, when a free moment presented itself, I found myself staring blankly at the void that suddenly enveloped me. She said that she was surprised that I was handling my split so well.
I wasn't. It wasn't the split, in my mind, I was clear that I made the right decision. However, once in a while, I keep wondering whether I just joined Aimee's ranks of the freaks.
Freaks who suspect they could never...
[P.S. Speaking of coincidence. As soon as I posted this blog, my friend Anne sent me this text message: "When God takes something away frm ur grasp, he's not punishing u, but merely emptying ur hand for u 2 receive something better!" Is that not weird?]
