Sinking Ships Since the Dawn of Time
|
I am very depressed as this week ends. I suppose it is because of the come-down after the high of preparing for/celebrating our anniversary and V-Day. Sad stuff talking to family, don’t really have the time or the will to go sledding. Work sucks this week. Hopefully this will pass.

Isn’t it weird how we all hit on things together? Today’s Diesel sweeties shines directly on some things I’ve been thinking about regarding Cuaron’s Children of Men as well, of course, as the Wire.
First, let’s take what Simon says is the primary thesis of the Wire: Humanity is increasingly expendable.

I’m not usually up at 7 on Sunday morning but this morning I was, in the hope that I might get to bed at a reasonably early hour on the eve of my return to work. When I stepped outside to get the paper, everything was absolutely silent. Everything except the incredibly loud rumbling machine noise that filled my ears and seemed to be coming from the direction of the river. The question is this: Is that sound always there- the low roar from the trains, the highway down the street, the remnant of industry around the Mon river? Or was it just that kind of morning?
