relativity

the speed of light is the same for all observers. this doesn't seem like relativity to me, but a constant in the universe that is somehow comforting. falling light wave-particles from a distant star travel at the same speed as the light from my face to the mirror and back. no matter how fast the star is hurtling away from me. i'll still see the light in the night sky, decades later.

and it will still see me, my face turned up to the sun's reflection in the moon.

silly, fun, kinda interesting cinematic effects; paced like a videogame. The Rock is a decent comic actor as well as credible action hero. cool fighting scenes.

in spite of some good performances, i couldn't get over the condescending tone. it's a classic case of straight guy pretending to be gay, getting the girl and a better job, and safely being able to declare that he's straight - and escaping thr real problems of homophobia. left me feeling a little icky.

lulu gave me this book. it's magical. set in a fantasy industrial age new york city, suffused with mythology.

a great game. scary. i can't play it unless jesse's home. even then it's hard. i make him play it so i can cower behind the blanket and tell him to watch out for the bad guys. yeah, i'm that much of a wimp.
