Being skinny helps out when you're crashing out at at other people's places.

i'm probably going to hell because i laughed hysterically at this

Strange.

I think I would become a bit like this if I lived in such an overcrowded country, not the suicide part, just the isolation.

You go to hell if you don't laugh at it. Anyone who doesn't laugh doesn't have a soul or sense of humor.

I just imagine it like a reality show in Japan. Like...cameras watching the woman sneak around the house with a big anime face looking at the camera every so often to put her finger over her lips and giggle while the man is near by but doesn't notice her.

That makes sense, right?

Edit: Possibly a cartoony-geisha anime face.

Edit: Definitely. And a funny host would announce stuff as it happened.

i read this in awe earlier but i withheld judgment

that woman is probably the granddaughter of a real-life ninja

she's got skills

The camera part made me think of The Ring and Japanese scary-without-a-monster pictures.

There's been a play on something slightly similar.
In 1996 Roland Topor wrote L'hiver sous la table (winter underneath the table), where a woman rents the space underneath her kitchen table to a man. Then all of sudden, as a friend comes to visit her, every character realises how strange the situation is.
Haven't seen or read it though.

The Japanese woman probably decided to squat at the place to be caught, write her memoirs and get plenty of money, avoidind being sued for plagiarism by Topor's family.

58 year old. That sucks.

Here in SF, there are a lot of people living in a lot of closets.

And not the metaphorical kind.

I've been in many types of closets, metaphorical closets, academic abstract concept closets, and the ones with dead moths in them.

I have a walk-in closet....

Closet-hopping.
lol

Stoppard is not even close to being in the same league as Pinter. What was The Real Thing for fuck sake........ apart from absolute dross.

The Homecoming is one of the finest plays ever written, as is The Birthday Party.

This sounds like a love story.

If she lives in the closet for 7 years does she become the owner?

she was probably a crusty punk and wasn't allowed at the local squat because she was heard singing "rock the casbah" to herself and didn't meet the studs on a jacket minimum.

ewww crust punks ewwww

POINTS.OF.FUCKING.VIEW.

Meh, nothing Steven Seagal or Rambo couldn't do.
