Most of the hallways and public spaces in the elevated
station have an abundance of cables, conduits, pipes, and other random architectural
guts strung along their ceilings. This
particularly colorful bunch is outside one of the network rooms on the first
floor of B-pod.
Boy, did I ever enjoy watching BLADE RUNNER (THE FINAL CUT
version) last night. I had not viewed
the movie in a couple years, and had never seen this most-recent revision and
restoration. That this motion picture,
to which the term “classic” can be liberally applied, is 30 years old is just
astounding. It was great to get fully
sucked into the world of Los Angeles
in the not-so-distant future of 2019, despite-rather, because of-its crazy
urban blight and bustle. The themes of
the nature of humanity and how to make the most out of the time we have really
resonate with me. I’m ready to let these
eyes of mine see some new sights after another year down here (the Tannhauser
Gate, please!).* Who ever decided to make “escapism” a pejorative term was a
fool that probably never spent a year secluded at the bottom of the planet.
*Along that line of thinking, no, we have no details about
travel arrangements with the new contractors to date. I still hope to have an urgent summons to Houston, but barring
that, who knows what the way home will look like?
