i saw andrew and hollye off at the security gate. andrew’s final summation: “a good trip for bad reasons.”
Day: September 5, 2013
caveat: waiting for the 3300
in the picture below, andrew and hollye are waiting for the #3300 bus that goes directly and conveniently from in front of my apartment to the airport.
these past two months are the longest sustained time andrew and i have ever spent together. . . maybe not counting the half year at san marino (pasadena) in 1992 – but back then he was only 10 or 11. but certainly it is the longest time together as adults, then.
so we have definitely bonded this time. when i mentioned this to andrew, he pointed out that he had left me with some superglue, too – for more bonding, of course.

now for a hot date with some high energy photons. . .
Caveat: La cité des enfants perdus
Andrew was urging me to watch a movie that he thinks highly of, entitled La cité des enfants perdus (The City of Lost Children). So to celebrate (mourn?) his impending departure, tomorrow, we watched this evening. It was kind of a creepy movie, but quite surreal, as the blurb promised, and with some interesting stuff going on symbolically. Overall, I’d rank it at least as high as the movie 헨젤과 그레텔 (Hansel and Gretel [2007]).
In any event, it was a good distraction – as long as I don’t end up having a nightmare from it. Nah… I don’t generally have that problem.
Tomorrow, Andrew and Hollye fly back to L.A. I’ll be on my own for a few weeks. I’ll be alright.
