Wednesday about noon, I'm invisible, taking pictures, and on my way to work. While there Thursday, I abruptly heard about somebody talking behind another person's back. That shit comes right back around. They do it in such a clumsy way that you wonder if they are just saying it to your face, but supposing themselves to be invisible, as if utilizing a cloaking device to hide behind, or fantasizing wearing a tarnhelm while making with their calumnies. They must have something wrong with them. What do I think about this? It's like in Simon Boccanegra, the Council Chamber scene: "Sia maledetto!" heh.

I think a lot of people mouth off to others in a way that is deliberately designed to get their views across. They are just too chicken to do it face to face.

I like the look on that woman's face with the coffee. I wonder what her job is.

That's what I think too. Sometimes it is maybe the only way an insecure person can make a grievance known, but unfortunately, it makes all the mutual friends unpleasantly involved and maybe thinking the wrong way about the talked about person, and it is a form of manipulating everyone that now may have to be guarded and keep secrets and are thus in on the bad treatment of the victim. Back stabbing is an awful thing that hurts everyone involved; it's pretty much a slow acting poison.
