Manhattan noir?

I am currently watching Bladerunner. The new final director's cut.

Rachael has gone to see Deckard, and is talking to him about being a replicant. He is in his kitchen, making them a drink.

In spite of being intoxicated by this fabulous neo noir masterpiece, I look at Gant and say: "Look at how big his apartment is."

And then I realize, utterly and completely: I have turned into a Manhattanite.

Love the color of your wallpaper...bet it's no coincidence it matches your wall;>.

Thanks. :> I do too. Clearly. ;) It's actually been my desktop wallpaper for almost a year. That's how long it's taken me to finish this design. Hehe.

Haha! I've never lived in NY and I say stuff like this all the time. Things like, "In the dystopic future, cops must make a lot more money!" and "How come these kids who work in a coffee shop can afford such a nice apartment?"

Haha yeah, thinking about it, I've said stuff like that, too. But it's different now. Instead of: 'Boy that's a nice apartment for a city worker' it's just 'Boy that's a nice apartment.' It went from skepticism to appreciation. ;)

haha. Nice to see you writing again.
