So much noise, but you can hear me and I'll trouble your mind

Because I do not carry a camera with me, I did not take a picture of the cherry-colored wax heart slowly melting on the asphalt of a parking lot as I walked back from Harvard Square and Pemberton's this afternoon. It was really striking, though.

It would probably have been intrusive to take a picture of the three people I met walking up my street as I continued home, but two of them were looking at their phones and one of them was studying a tablet, so maybe they wouldn't have noticed. They were walking in a group, none of them talking to the others. I wondered if they were part of some kind of scavenger hunt, but maybe they were just conversing in print.

My walk home this afternoon was slightly more like a surrealist film than I was expecting, is what I think I'm saying. Or at least a near-future science fiction.

The late show at the Brattle tonight is Sam Raimi's Darkman (1990). On [livejournal.com profile] handful_ofdust's recommendation, I'm going. I really think the only movies I've seen by Raimi are Spider-Man (2002) and Spider-Man 2 (2004). I keep associating him with Bubba Ho-Tep (2002), but that's just because of Bruce Campbell.

I have one like that and in addition it has no way to get pictures off of it, regardless of cables or what have you. Tracfone apparently believes in deactivating the software for same that is normally available in this phone. I was really quite peeved to find that out, as I have a lot of very pretty pictures from a crane sanctuary we visited.
