My DVD of 'The Man Who Wasn't There' arrived in the post today so I am one happy little fox. You know how sometimes you find a film and it's Your Film? Well in some ways 'The Man Who Wasn't There' is like that for me. It's fascinating watching the character just...go through the film, not so much oblivious and ignored as just...not counted. He's just the barber. He cuts the hair. And while I'm nothing like him in set up I know what it's like to be in that position. For someone who'd like to be the center of attention and remembered I'm awfully good at withdrawing and not letting people notice me. But then I think that's because I'm badly under-socialised and don't Get the social niceties (something of which I was reminded recently 
).
Plus it's a beautifully shot title.
In other news: my carpel tunnel syndrome might be getting worse. Or it might be another symptom of another nerve I'm feeling. Frankly it's all very hard to tell and I wish there was a better way of working out *exactly* what I have. But I'm still working on the book and it's coming along relatively well, if a bit slowly because frankly I'm hating being redundant and workless and not having folk around.
And yup, we're back to why I appreciate 'The Man Who Wasn't There' so much

and why do i not see any of this writing? what if i was writing this way before you? perhaps you write like me, hmmm?
and most importantly, does it matter?
anyway, thank you for the compliment (just assuming, as i would guess you like the way you write and so my writing like you is a good thing... though you could be stalking me to kill me to maintain your dominance over the medium... or am i just being over analytical and paranoid?) sorry this wasn't a more coherent and responsive piece. its a real shitty week and i need to go out and kill something.
have a nice night.
