"Live" Blogged at Ikebukuro and Urawa train stations 8:09PM 10/29/02.
I was transferring from Saikyo train line to Keihin-Tohkou @ Ikebukuro station. Heading down the escalator I experienced a beautiful thing; rebellion. Running down the escalator I nearly ran into a business man standing in the "hurry the fuck up and run" line. I first auto-piloted and queued, but then quickly stepped aside so the sea of commuters could pass. My friend stayed right where he was. As everyone filed around him they shot him the backwards look to guilt him into the left-hand lane. But he wasn't having none of that. I glanced up to get a look at the mug of such a fine rebel-rouser. The look he gave back to me had a "You. Die. Now?" connotation to it. Hey, I'm on your side!
PS He was probably just drunk.
