Escaped Thoughts

I went up to the city to see 2001, with the idea that it might be better on the big screen. Basically though, it's bigger, louder (painfully so), but still just as mind-numbingly boring; I jokingly suggested that I should go home and watch Blade Runner (director's cut) since it might actually be tolerable in comparison. I'm also tempted to make an edited version: all the important content, but about 1/10th the length. I think it could be a pretty good short.

Yes, I dislike both Blade Runner and 2001. Sometimes I'm a bad nerd.

The evening wasn't a total loss though. I saw the Castro district for the first time, which was interesting. I also saw a shirt which amused me greatly: “Feelings are boring. Kissing is awesome.” It came as no surprise when I learned that it's merchandise from the deeply bizarre but often humorous Dinosaur Comics.

No posts in a while courtesy of that big source of chaos we like to call “life”. I may elaborate on parts later, but here's the really short version:

• June was largely good. We had an enjoyable (despite the weather) trip to Europe, resulting in lots of good pictures and stories. On the down side one exciting prospect failed to pan out, but I don't hold June responsible.
• July was terrible—quite probably the worst month of my life to date, for a couple of reasons. About all I can say about July is that it's over.

What does August hold for me? Hard to say at this point. There will be elements of July about it; this is certain. But life has ways of twisting, and there are a few bright spots scattered on the horizon that I can see already. I'm counting on you to do the right thing here, August.
