I met ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
greenygal to see Rashomon today, which is one of Kuraoawa's more famous films and a seminal role for Toshiro Mifune. There's a documentary on Mifune on Tuesday night that I might go to.
Walking back to my place, I was bothered by a man who complimented me on my hat and asked where I got it, but then asked if I wanted to make a friend. Given that this indicated he was either trying to pick me up or try to talk to me about Jesus, I told him I was full up on friends and walked away from him faster. Further home, another man tried to get my attention and when I ignored him, called me 'a fat bitch'. I turned around and called him out; his only come-back was 'fat bitch' again.
I'm really tired of men, and it's almost always men, that think a woman being out in public is required to give them the attention they want. It was really annoying because I was obviously walking with someone, but I guess they think that because I was with another woman, that doesn't count.
Anyway, we got both my Kallax units put together, with only a minor mishap. I'll get things moved around tomorrow and during the rest of the week. Hopefully having that much more shelf space will help with the de-cluttering!

You want to talk about hats, I can talk about hats for a good half-hour at the very least. You want to use hats as a pretext to make a sales pitch to me -- selling yourself as a romantic partner, selling religion -- go away. I hate sales pitches when I'm not in the market.
Especially since anyone actually looking at me would have seen I was walking and talking with someone already. But apparently the fact that I was walking and talking with another women meant I was free to cater to some man's need for attention.
BLEAGH!
