dialogue at the mirror, Value World

[fflo]

Me (to the woman looking on curiously as I regard the reflection of myself in a funny fringed Native American-ny decorative shoulder thing---sort of a cross between a collar and a shawl): Kind of a strange item. Don't know where I'd wear it.

Woman: Do you ever go to rock concerts? You could wear it there.

Me: True. Hmmm....

Woman: It has a slimming effect.

Me: Oh, well I wouldn't want that. (turn decisively, walk away, that-settles-that)

tee hee hee

I love when I have something at the ready on such an occasion.

here i am again, after the party. last weekend i went to see the overall missable "Shadowboxers." Cuba Gooding Jr and Helen Mirren play killers for hire, and also stepmother-stepson and lovers. Helen's character has cancer, which only Cuba knows. Everyone she runs into tells her how good she looks because she lost weight. She just says thank you, in this tone that makes you sympathize with her, even though she is a killer for hire.

It's kinda cool when art makes you sympathize with killers for hire. Shows to go ya the power of protagonism. (Is that a word? If 'tweren't, 'tis now.)

I watched a lot of DVD while I was home sick. Most of it was dreck. But I really like the Steve Martin Shopgirl, from his novella---and I kinda didn't think I would, as it's got an old guy young woman relationship written by the old guy, which can be worrisome. worrysome? that might not even be the right word there.

I like afterparty sara.
