after finally purchasing an edible version of The da Vinci Code (hardback, of course), i thought i had them all. but it seems that recently there is an inexhaustible supply of new da Vinci related media. i can't seem to keep up! i've read all the supplemental guides to the da Vinci Code, all the decoders, un-coders, and re-coders. i've read all the rebuttals, arguments, and epitaphs. i've even studied the master himself - his life, his work - copies of his notebooks, drawings, even a guide on how to think like him.. Dan Brown, that is. i've read everything he's ever writen (and everything by Dale Brown just to be safe). it seems that this is just as essential to life in my work-a-day world as is starbucks and the O.C.
i've taken to writing backwards just to fit in. i habitually throw my soap out of my 4th floor apartment after showering. i eat an apple a day. grail lore fills my nights, my house, my mind. i sit up, reading and re-reading the code searching for answers. e-versions, audio versions, first editions, home games - still it alludes me, WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?!
"you mean you don't get it?"
NO! quite frankly i don't! what the hell is all this da Vinci fuss about?! is there some deep underlying message? what happens when you solve the code? does the fabric of the very universe unravel before your eyes revealing some kind of bright shining truth?! i may never know.
