    go for a walk and pay close attention to people and things around you, look into the life they display in their eyes and smiles or frowns, these things open new experiences in my imagination and thoughts, maybe it will help you ?

    Thanks GF... aside from when I'm at work which requires me to interact with the people and which takes all my will to do, people watching and environment observation is what I do. It's my own private non verbal non contact interaction with the people. I've been lost for a little while now always looking to escape... problem is I'm trying to escape myself and that's not going so well. I know(cause I try to convince myself) I'll get there... When I figure out what there is. When my mind stills itself I'll stop running and making ridiculously non beneficial decisions... Or should that be the other way around.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    4 days in Hell-A
    a night at the Greek with my elvis
    hours lost in bliss
    corner of spring and 5th
    so many books so little time
    nights spent with ghosts
    days spent on my feet
    looking up, looking through
    seeing if la cienega really does smile
    searching for mr gehry
    sunset, book soup, margaritas
    anonymous me
    3 dresses and a pair of converse
    sunglasses and knickers
    4 days and counting
    and i'm good to go

    los angeles has a smell. as soon as those terminal doors slide open and I step out into the californian warmth it hits me. I don't know what it is, but it says to me Los Angeles. of course when I get downtown and start walking the streets, the smell is urine. step out of the shadows and the sun assault my being. Figueroa & 7th blinds me... the coolness of the shadows draws me. DTLA has some great old buildings harkening back to a by-gone time of prosperity and style. gentrification is taking ahold and what I see is better than tearing down those old gems to make way for some 21st century monstrosity. old theatres stand dormant and neglected on Broadway and I look forward to the day they shine again. I spend a lot of time looking up when I wander city streets... what's above street level is often so much more interesting than eye level. Saturday afternoon in century city... here there's no smell of piss soaked sidewalks, just brilliant light and that smell of warmth. tis as if I have the city to myself and this is not a bad thing... the omega woman looking up and looking out marvelling at mankinds attempts to pierce the blue sky. yamasaki's twin towers on century park east reach higher than their New York brothers ever will again. I can't help but feel a pang of sadness. walk on past the glorious curve of the now vacant century plaza hotel. row upon row of identical balconies waiting. and then I'm onto my emerald city... fox plaza. or as I've always known it, nakatomi tower. visions of john mclane barefoot and bloody baiting and ultimately beating euro trash über villain hans gruber come to mind. aaah my second favourite christmas movie. RIP ALAN RICKMAN
