last night, i saw _eraserhead_, and, boy, am i glad i did! i've been thinking to myself lately, there aren't enough creepy things in my life. i sure could use more! thanks, david lynch!

what is _eraserhead_ about? i'm not sure. did i like it? i'm not sure. i mean, i'm definitely not sorry i saw it, but i'm still trying to digest it, which is kind of like trying to digest tree bark.

the only bad part of the whole experience was the other people who were there -- they were suuuuch stereotypical liberal arts morons who thought they were very smart. behind me, one guy was talking about how dave chapelle is an anthropologist; in front of me, two guys were talking about books. one of the guys mentioned _swann's way_, probably just as a show-off thing, since i'm almost 100% sure that no real conversation can involve _swann's way_. (also, he just dropped the title instead of displaying any actual knowledge of the book.) then the other guy started talking about _absolom, absolom!_ by william faulkner. he described it simply as "a beautiful text." i don't know why, but that just sounds like such utter nonsense, to me. using the word "beautiful" along with the clinical word "text"... bleh.

ok, so then, _eraserhead_. afterwards, walking out of the auditorium, the first thing i heard was someone saying, "so what's your interpretation of that?" gah!

before all of that, i was walking on telegraph, and a homeless man asked if i had any change. i gave him a dollar (DON'T JUDGE ME). he was super nice, and he had a boombox that was playing "this is how we do it." as i was walking away from him, another guy said to me, "that was really nice of you." it confused me, and i think i weirded people out because i was singing along with "this is how we do it" (DON'T JUDGE ME).

then there was another altercation with a homeless man at the coffee shop i went to. he locked himself in the bathroom for 15 minutes, and they had to ask him to leave. he got super angry, but they finally got him out the door. he stood outside the window for a while, gesturing and yelling obscenities, until someone called the cops.
