passing through

every morning on the BART we pass under a freeway. camped out against the concrete supports are a couple of people - lately they've been bundled up, so i can't tell if they're male or female. often they're still asleep just before eight as my train rolls by.

perhaps they wake up when the sun hits their blankets. then what? find a place to clean up, scrounge for something to eat? get started on a day of collecting recyclables? they've already amassed quite a bit of stuff - odds and ends of furniture, what looks like piles of clothing; do they sell it?

on days when i don't see them, i worry if they are okay.

this life is a strange road. maybe they're just lost for a bit.

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.
