today, ali and i were talking about how stories are passed on from person to person and generation to generation. how we use them to explain ourselves to others and indeed, to ourselves. this evening, i came across two delightful sites that explore this "pass it on" endeavor:

others people's stories is a website where "every story is a story a contributor heard from someone else. These stories have been overheard and misheard, told and re-told and sometimes refined over time. They do not shy from hearsay, gossip, myth or guys we knew in high school. OPS is dedicated to the time-honored tradition of stealing other people’s material and we therefore recognize our debt to those from whom we’ve stolen and acknowledge that these stories do not belong to us". do check it out!

the other site details snippets of conversation overheard on the london underground. maybe these story fragments could serve to inspire our movie creating? paul mentioned this in group meeting on tuesday - i think there is plenty fodder here to fire out imaginations.
