like summer in fall

We made a movie. The actors had to act like it was a high summer day, but it was cold and above their heads birds were migrating south. What’s not apparent is invisible. Hopefully.

往 | commuter | 来


每天坐在公共汽车上睡觉。有时候提前一两站偶尔能醒过来，看到刚过五环的一部分模糊的森林。窗外是绿的，灰的。每天上班的路线跟别人相反。早上往城外走。下班再回城里。在车上小睡时总不记得梦中的事。可能是美好的。也可能是日常生活的琐碎小事。在大家的生活日程里，坐车上下班是最经常的东西。这是小时候连做梦也没想过的事。

.在公共汽车上睡觉，有时醒来刚好到站，于是赶紧挤过去下车。别人用奇怪的眼睛光看着我。我真不知道他们看到了什么。是不是他们看到以后就满足了他们的好奇心？但我看到他们脸上的表情都是空白的。或许他们脑子里的想法也是空白的，或许他们的想法离这辆车很远很远。远到看不到的地方。无论如何，我们每天这样来来往往。.在公共汽车上睡觉，有时也坐过站。每次刚醒的前几分钟都认不出是在什么地方，眼睛半睁半闭地。车外的世界也把我当成陌生人。眼睛也是半睁半闭地。如果售票员知道我坐过了站，也会埋怨我：“问了好几次有人下车没有，都没人答应！” 有时候，他也会笑：“哈哈，睡过哦？！” “恩。” 我们都无奈了。于是下车后过吗路，在等。这里离五环已经很远，路上到处尘土飞扬，包括我刚从车里出来的脑子，分不出外面和里面。不知道这样过了多少天。醒了睡睡了醒，时间过的很快。maurice blanchot说，“日常生活是摸不着的。它属于无足轻重的，而且无足轻重得没有其实，没有存在，没有秘密，但所有可能的意义都是从那里来的。日常生活永远在逃脱”。.恩。很快，很快。

(好俗，我知道！）and you are thinking about life ahead, please tell about it! yesterday it was your birthday, and as you become older, keiko-san cuts my hair for the last time，and i become younger. we think it looks cute. good, i look younger! aka-chan feels about the same as yesterday! what did yesterday feel like? about like today! so we can stop thinking forward and stop thinking backwards, today is your birthday, and we try looking next to one another. he says it would be better on that side. maybe. i miss you.blank_icon.gifi love you, spring moto-car! 不会感冒！

anyway, osaka>>blank_icon.gifi’ve tried thinking obout “boring”… it’s hard.this is CONBINI, but without any sign. they were middle of renovation or breaking down. it was on may way to work and wasn’t noticeable when it was still open… it was just one of CONBINI where i didn’t have so much to do with… it had very specific sign like other photos. but one day it lost its face and suddenly started appealing to me with its boringness. how boring building it is… it’s weird that to be very boring can be very visible.aka_bored.jpgblank_icon.gif

t, sendai>>blank_icon.gifso sorry i couldn’t send my boring things to you by 17.i tried to find something, but couldn’t.now for me, anything is not boring, but everything gives me some possibilities, or new feelings to me, i feel. i know that whether it becomes true or not depends on myself, the way i live. but now, i’m trying to get power for changing from small things. maybe, small things are “boring”, ne? yes, positive meanings of boring.blank_icon.gif[录像文件需要flashplayer和耐性来看,不好意思文件挺大的，还没学好怎么好好压小的。声音是haxi, a, 丫 和 strawberryshortcake做的。 kindly be patient with video files, flashplayer and patience to view, they are rather big, apologies, we have not mastered video compression techniques yet. audio tracks on all video files courtesy of haxi, a, 丫 and strawberryshortcake.]
