    love the attention to detail - it didn't grab me until you mentioned the lack of furniture everywhere in the house except the bedroom, oooooh the lonliness!

    that bit gave me that feeling of agoraphobia you get in your stomach at 3 o'clock in the afternoon when you're living in a big empty house and you can feel the emptiness of suburbia stretching out all around you, it's like she was trying to constuct a universe for herself, projecting a Lifetime inside the prefab husk of the old man's apartment and she's drowning out her sad reality with dancing images and canned laughter.

    like that scene in requiem for a dream where at first the television keeps her company but slowly begins to consume her.
