portion of steamroller print - 2002

today was a heady and slogged out full of ideas festival of sensory overload. i definitely got in over my head on trying to do more than the most basic things with ye olde blog as it is. maybe i need to spend more time with anyone who has a modicum of a clue on this subject. it was balmy and i made the mistake of wearing long pants on a long bike ride through west campus (where i have not ventured for a long time). riding time - 35 minutes one way on varied sidewalks. maybe i schlep too much crap around or i'm really primed for a workout. arrrgh.

saw a real tear-jerker yesteday called japanese story -http://www.popmatters.com/film/reviews/j/japanese-story.shtml
the first half of the film was scenic but had no apparent direction and the acting seemed rather stiff and pointless - too many important details missing in a fledgling relationship gestating in the iron and white australian outback. then WHAM, major lachrymose plot shift and the same song in slightly different versions over and over.

memo to self - candy coat html and learn the smallest bit, o.k.?
