tales from an ordinary world

1999-10-10

I was sitting on another tram, to Chapel St, when an elderly couple got on and sat in front of me. In amongst their other normal banter, the guy suddenly said "Whenever I get on a tram I think of John Garfield". Having perhaps lost those couple of brain cells that remembered who John Garfield was, I'm a bit puzzled by this.

We saw Election. Many films have me averting my eyes from the screen because of the "I know what's about to happen and I can't bear to watch" syndrome (half the time friends see me doing this, and ask me "are you ok ?"). This film was like that but even more so. That's not to say I considered it a bad film, but...I dunno...

Soundtrack for today was Jesus Christ Superstars by Laibach.
