(no subject)
oh, &, this weekend,
i have often been comforted by insignificance and paranoia. this goes back at least to science fiction movies. Terminator II, but also Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the remake of Invaders from Mars-- also, Flowers in the Attic, which was not science fiction. i'm not sure what it is. gothic? all these stories about parents or parent-lookalikes that destroy the child.
thinking about this because, as per our family tradition, we saw a movie this Forth of July, we saw War of the Worlds, because this was something we could all find some common ground with.
parental paranoia. because there's for the past decade or so been something awkward with me and my parents when we go out, and maybe it goes back to those movies and related phobias and experiences, or maybe not. but stepping out of a movie theater is always very quiet, nobody knows quite what to say, or how to say it, or something. is this my fault? also supper. supper's awkward without TV, sometimes even with. with all three of us. or.. the dynamics puzzle me.
but there were mostly harmless and quite pretty explosions the 3rd, and other enjoyable things. many shadowy people to observe. and less shadowy.
also...
i will not click. instead, bedwards!
