Saturday: feels like the first free day i´ve had here. jogged in the morning, ate breakfast with one of the guards and his family, showered, napped, woke up, and watched Fargo.
Felt a lot like home... while i was watching the movie i felt transported back to my living room. had the curtains drawn so it was dark, fan so it was cool, and i really got lost in the movie. the snow, the soundtrack, the acting - it felt very homely. the appreciation for its quality and the detaching feeling was homely.
It was quite the shock to return to equa-world. no more snow, no more rusty violins and pianos, no more escapism. back to the dust and heat and make-shift existence. stark contrast, bittersweet. it felt like i had woke up from my nap all over again...
note: by make-shift existence i mean that nothing here seems finalized. there are draped tarps for windows, house fascades that look like they are stripped and ready for paint. they won´t be painted. even houses that are completed don´t appear to be so - at least to someone like me who is used to american suburbs.
another note: santa clara university is the broncos. good call dad.
