Shit. I don't get it again.

...am I to be dropped from your list of Strange Friends You Tolerate?

Maybe I just need another cup of coffee.

No way, I won't drop you Jerry. It doesn't mean anything. It's just a picture from inside one of the Metro stations in Montreal, Place-Saint-Henri, where a scene from my favourite movie (Jésus de Montréal) was shot. The Metro system in Montreal is quite incredible and some of the stations are strangely beautiful. "Sortie" is the exit, "croquer la pomme" literally means to crunch the apple but it's an idiom that means to make love. It isn't that these things make sense, they're just things on my mind. Another cup of coffee is not necessary but it's almost always a good idea.

This reminds me of a story I once read -- about Shakespeare coming back to life and taking a Shakespearean Literature course...which he failed. He didn't understand what they were teaching...like "Out,damn spot" meant that she wanted the spot out. Period.

There I was trying to read something mysterious into a simply lovely photo.
