We watched the tiny image on a computer screen. She a very interesting girl, half Apache Indian and half Filipino. You might think she'd be a real beauty with that kind of heritage, but somehow she didn't luck out with the old gene pool. She has a weird case of bad acne, and her body is kind of skinny and weird. She has a really good personality, though. Her movie, "The Yellows", was about this evil force that's let loose into the world, and how people deal with it. The best scene was on this train car, where a Yellow was slowly moving down the aisle, turning people into little pieces of candy and eating them. It was this 7 or 8 foot tall mannequin or something, and it was really scary. The two main characters, these two guys, were sitting there and no one was moving, and they were talking about how if everyone started running away, there's no way they would make it, because they were so far from the exit. So no one knew what to do. Finally the two popped open the emergency exit and got out while the rest of the people were destroyed. Outside, the two guys were wondering if they should call the police or the government or something, with this evil force turning people into candy and eating them. But they figured that someone else was sure to inform the authorities, so they went to an ATM, took out all the money they could, broke into a car, hotwired it, and started driving south. That's how the movie ended. It was pretty good, but I wish I could have seen it on a bigger screen. Huh. I wondered about all these memories. Did all this stuff really happen, or not? I remembered when I first got hired at Hull... I decided to celebrate by having my hair colored green... something I had always wanted to do but never had the guts to go ahead with. All these memories, well-oiled and fitting like a glove, but none of it ever happened. But other people would REMEMBER me having been there, remember everything being real. I wonder if anyone else has ever had to deal with a set of dual memories? Hull New Media has its offices in The Ed Sullivan Theater Office Building on 53rd Street, right next to the Letterman show. Every evening tons of tourists and other assorted thrill-seekers gather on 53rd to catch a glimpse of departing celebrities... or at least Biff Henderson... So that's where I am... here in my new life... which will last who knows how long... but I know it'll be fun while it lasts... -------> ------------------- ----------- -------- -- -----
