People Watch

Related to social games. I'm trying to pay more attention to people, especially when I forget my books and magazines on the MUNI. It's a fun game.

- I love watching women transform themselves with makeup. There's the before and after change aspect and the product / technique aspect. But it's also about catching someone when they're wholly absorbed in themselves. You know -- apply, check, apply, check... correct, smile, done. The people who do it on MUNI rides tend to be younger girls who have too many products, though, which makes me sad. Sorry if that's a little weird.

- You are what you eat. Okay, I'm a little judgemental at grocery store check out lines. I try to keep my disapproval in check when I see lots of boxed/canned foods. Afterall, I like and eat a lot of crap too. It reminds me of a time when I bumped into a friend with ice cream and rootbeer in my hands. Nothing to feel guilty about, but I felt like he caught me :)

- Looking at one aspect of someone's dress and wondering what it means (if anything) about them. Sometimes it's shoes, though I'm just not good with shoes. (I probably own fewer shoes than most men.) Lately, it's bags -- purses big and small, canvas bags, messenger bags, backpacks, laptop cases, briefcases.

- I get off at Castro station. I like to guess who else is going to get off. Sometimes it's about checking out their body language. Sometimes it's trying to figure out the probability that someone is gay.

Anyway, fun things to wonder about.
