A couple I know is making a film about their impending breakup. They set the date for March 20th. A documentary filmmaker sits them down and does interviews, first with them both and then with each separately.
They are marvelous to watch together. Their relationship is a form of performance art.
Will they actually break up on March 20th? Who knows. But so far it seems like a competition to see who can make it harder for the other to leave -- in other words, each is at their very best, on their very best behavior, making their "last days" together ever harder to end.
I read somewhere about a phenomenon called "The Sunset Effect". A sudden flare of brightness right before passing away.
People play all sorts of games to negotiate mutual ground. Sometimes it has to go as far as hanging a mutual bomb over this ground to make them share it. But the effort is cheering me up.
I just got a commission to make something that will pay me much money, meaning I can get my own place and invite tuxy and her babyeaters for toddler stew.
