two things which i don’t normally see:
1. 4 guys making a movie on the corner of anza and 25th avenue in san francisco at 10:45pm on a tuesday night. they had the video camera all set up in front of a guy on a scooter. the director was giving the actor an inspirational talk. the cameraman looked bored. a lighting tech was stationed at the top floor window of the apartment building shining a spotlight down on the scooter. it was delightfully odd.
2. naked women. lots and lots of naked women. sure, i see myself naked all the time. but dozens of other naked women? not so much.
yesterday i went to the campus rec center and went swimming! my classmate pamela held my hand (figuratively) and showed me where the towels are, how to get in, where to go, and how the suit spinner works (genius, it dries your swimsuit so fast). she even loaned me shampoo and conditioner because i, of course, brought nothing like the lame goose i am.
my eyes were popping out of my head by the end of this experience, let me tell you. locker rooms are a bevy of nudity.
you know how no one expects the spanish inquisition? well, i apparently don’t expect the reality of locker rooms. obviously they’re going to be full of naked women, but it still surprised me. just like thumbscrews and iron maidens.
