visuality

in a slightly strange space...

not bad as such, but contemplative & restless,

after i posted that last thing from hammersmith work i had a look at what was on at the pictures and i saw that breakfast on pluto was showing for the very last time in london (in it's current run) @ only two cinema's; the croydon clock tower @ the curzon soho...

the curzon soho showing was twenty minutes away, so i jumped on the £10 bike with it's menagerie and i raced over to shaftesbury avenue... hoping that there would be at least 10 minutes of trailers...

the menagerie consists of an aviary and some kind of monkey house i think, the aviary being the squeaking of the pedal axle, the monkeys the screaming of the gear hub...

since my bell's been broken i've been using the screaming gear hub as an i exist/get out of my way sound... it comes every time i freewheel, i think i just need to open the cap and pour oil into it to fix it but i'm kind of liking the screaming just now...

the day was still amazing at this point, now i was cycling away from the sun, the other two journeys today (into londonbridge work, from there to hammersmith) had been into the sun so this was a nice contrast, seeing my shadow stretching out in front of me, my bicycle clipped shins bobbing up and down...

i reached the cinema 5 minutes after the film started but it was absolutely the last chance i had of seeing it so i went in anyway and it was GREAT...

perfect for the day i was having...

after it finished and i'd waited for all the credits to roll, looking out for who sang that great me & mrs jones (billy paul) and to mentally cheer the two van morrison tunes (both off astral weeks), and just to enjoy the dusty springfield tune that was playing (the windmills of my mind) i remarked on it's lastness to the only other people in the place... two women,

the older of the two said that although i wouldn't believe it by the tears running down her face it was the second time she'd seen it... tiny moment of community...

so i cycled home and the sun had long set by now and it was a great deal colder, and i've had one of those odd evenings where you don't really do anything...

just been playing that planarity and i'm loving it... the way the impossible gradually becomes possible, small solutions adding up the whole solution...
